That was too long.
Anyone see that programme on Hasidic Jews last night? Having lived amongst that very community in Stamford Hill for a summer some years ago, I can tell you with certaintly that they are some fucking weird dudes.

Lolnazism aside, I don’t think priding yourselves on not developing as a culture for 3000 years can be a good idea.

Nope
but during the 7 months long summer holiday the lazy students here seem to get, the halls of residence are rented out to various groups and teams. The Hasidic Jews come every year and last year they spat at the feet of two of my colleagues and called them whores. Their crime was their skirts were above the knee.

I've heard two negative reviews of that film
One from Ms Foxtrot's brother - "Not enough monsters or violence"

One from Ms Foxtrot's sister - "Boring"

His excuse is that he's 11. She didn't like Inception and has scant regard for Star Wars, so I assume it's actually brilliant.

Not the best film released in 1999 by a damn sight, but then the Oscars are somewhat blinkered when it comes to sci-fi/animation/films about homegrown terrorism which are basically too clever for Americans to grasp the fundamental point of
