I went up to one of those guys on a sky stand in the shopping centre the other week.. asked him how much it would cost to get what I have now (60mb broadband + phoneline) + sky sports package...

he said, best I'd get is 30mb with sky fibre + phoneline and had to have the entertainment package to get sky sports... all of that was about £85... then it was £5 extra for having the HD bits bolted on.... I said I'd sign up today if he did it all at £65.. and he told me to get lost lol.  This also included a £50 installation fee which is a joke really.

Safe to say, Im still with virgin.. who definitely dont use BT lines!!!

Sky has much the better tv package, bt and virgin pride themselves on showing sky channels lol. There was a recent virgin ad that got pulled cos they realised they mentioned sky 11 times in the 30s lol

Yup, but if you have the best broadband you don't need the best telly package. ;)

I'm watching The Bill at the moment, series 6 from 1990. Difficult to believe it was 22 years ago!!! :o

But it got me thinking...what the bloomin heck happened to the third installment of the Kill Bill Trilogy..? They didn't make it, did they..? The first two films were great! :-\

They are planning to make it now but Bill's dead? I know the story will be the little girl who saw Kiddo kill her mum trying to kill Kiddo but I dunno it's risky it might ruin it.

Went to the cinema on saturday, instead of going for Taken 2.. opted for the highly reviewed Looper instead... and was quite glad I did.. its a pretty good film... original with a intriguing strong plot that hooks you in.. I didnt even realise Bruce Willis was in it until he showed up - and even then I had to look twice.. he looks OLD! 

Strong cast, strong and original storyline, good action scenes and all in all a solid film.

8.5/10

Watched that yesterday, and I too enjoyed it.
Kudos to Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the make up department. His make up, mannerisms, and acting combined to make a very good "young Bruce Willis".
(Interesting fact - Bruce Willis has met his younger self in three different and unrelated films, now... Seven Monkeys & The Kid being the other two.)
Decent proposition, though it was a bit predictable in parts - but that's forgivable as the scripting and acting are very good.
8/10

Have to shamelessly admit, I watched Bride of Chucky for the 1st time last night and quite rather enjoyed it..  ;D  The 2nd and 3rd films in the series really screwed the franchise up IMO, this one is great for 2 reasons - it doesnt try to take itself seriously as a horror film and it actually has some comedy that works in it.. gonna have to pick Seed of Chucky up now too  :P

Had to double take on Jennifer Tilly.. didnt realise she was the bird in Liar Liar.. but definitely recogonised her.. she sounds and looks so much like Renee Zellweger.. and she's quite hot in a weird kind of way too  ;)

Tilly is also in family guy. She is Joe's wife.

Never really got into family guy so wouldnt know..

South Park, Simpsons and Futurama - the only cartoon sitcoms worth watching imo.

A colleague of mine has a pic of her (chucky's bride) on his phone cos he fancies her.

Unfortunately we're not talking J Tilly - we're talking the doll...

Horrible bosses last night. Good concept but poorly written. Bateman as ever was quality as was spacey. Anniston was brilliant as the slutty dentist boss, would love to have her polish me ;)

11 days till Bond.. already booked my tickets... looking forward to this film the most this year... even if I do think DC looks like a short, ugly, pig-nosed thug.... it's still bond...

Up to Octopussy on the bondathon.. so at 1 a day, should finish those just before the new one arrives  :D ...getting a bit sick and tired of the Roger Moore ones though... Moonraker is probably my most hated bond film.. its just bloody awful.. made to cash in on the space/fantasy craze that was going round at the time.

A pointless trivia bond question for anyone that loves bond...

James Bond has killed at least 1 person in every bond film.. but there is only one film where he kills just 1 person throughout the entire movie... (the evil guy at the end)... but which film is it ?
