Tea or coffee?
Japanese Matcha green tea. Russian Caravan, brewed strong. Korean rice tea. All three provide about 75% of my liquids intake. Can't function without at least one of them around!

Elysium quite possibly the most boring film ive ever seen... Noooo, I'm going to see it in 15 hours time! :( I absolutely loved it :) That's the people/films interface for you!

Tempted therefore to replace it not with another blu-ray but a PS3 Super Slim instead. Your twitter feed suggests that this may have gone through with it?! ;) My hand was forced by my old blu-ray making the timing choice. How awful for me! :…

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
Wait until the last week. That will drag. It will be a case of so near but so far. Not for me - the new Nine Inch Nails album drops the week before so I'll be hammering that to pieces!

What's Your Favourite Goldfrapp Album - At The Mo?.
I don't think I could poss answer this as it is always dependent on mood. I have found myself in a similar situation to Carpy though I seem to be subconsciously avoiding them all at the moment. It'll do you well - hitting a new album fre…

Slightly zonked out. Woke up early, put the radio on and then went back into that half awake & half asleep state where you're listening and dreaming at the same time. I've now woken up properly again but kept that cotton wool head. Ne…

What's Your Favourite Goldfrapp Album - At The Mo?.
At the moment, none of them. I always stop listening or even thinking about Goldfrapp music in the couple of weeks or so leading to a new album. I want to hear the new one on it's own merits without subconsciously piling on older stuff before …

What`s the last film you watched ?
Just finally saw The Social Network for the first time. It's all very nice but I found that quite early on I stopped caring who was winning or losing and the constant wisecracking turned me off the film as much as it did the character. The on…

A few of you might enjoy this and it's in my ears now. It can be in your ears too via the link included. Any mix that begins with a bit of Ted Hughes has to be worth checking out. 1. Ted Hughes – The Crow 2. György Ligeti – Lux Aeterna [Ha…

My blu-ray player is older than something very old. The firmware updates have pretty much stopped and newer titles really struggles. Well, if the can get past the clicking boot of the drive in it, anyway. Tempted therefore to replace it not with an…

Kimchee + Tuna + Rice = Korean work lunch mouth fireworks. This, again, for lunch. Was going to go for a Japanese Bento but the new place in Newcastle was only doing a very limited lunch menu so ducked into the Korean restaurant instead. Isn'…

Sightseers This really packs a punch.impressed Great, isn't it! The balance of brutal death an comedy is just about right. Saw it at the cinema when it came out and laughed/winced in equal measures.

How do you feel today?
I'm feeling pretty happy. Just ran the mile to the pool in the piddling rain, knocked out a breaststroke mile (66 lengths) in 39 mins then ran the mile back again AND I'M NOT DEAD! It really gives you a glow when you have a session like …

Feeling old. It's my birthday today. Not looking bad for 32 though.... :) Really?! I'd never have guessed that - you're doing very well for that! Hope you had a great one :)

Great photos @Carpy, even if I do have a lampshade growing out of my head @tweety :D I love your expression - it's all a bit "I'll pose now but you better hurray up as I WANT TEA AND CAKE!" ;)

Saw Elysium last night - brilliant. Neill Blomkamp is proving that he is an absolute genius at designing & selling a world or, in this case, two of them. Best robots ever - they're 106% believable. Oh, and when it mentions 'gore…

Can I ask that people don't reply to spam posts? It's easier to spot the combination of title style & odd poster name when scanning down the list than if it's a known name against the thread. Also some bots are encouraged to post…

Goldfrapp scans & photos
Wonderful contrast in the pose, her clothes, the colouring and the chosen background. Nice find!

Tales Of Us - 6th album - 09/09/2013
I hate how the samples of amazon mp3's always sound like crap though. I love it when they have tiny samples from 10min tracks so you sit, listen and still have no idea what it sounds like.

I watched the 1942 Cat People last night, not for the first time Haven't seen that in a while but it's a great, great movie - actually quite ahead of it's time in terms of early horror and the traits that others would follow down the…

Yesterday, I decided to buy the French DVD of The Ghost Ship (1943). So, I went to the website of the company who produce the DVD (Editions Montparnasse). When I attempted to purchase it directly from them, I received an error message saying that …
