I watched The Kill List with my brother earlier.
It shook me up, proper gritty British thriller/horror. I might watch TN then cos I need something lighthearted until my Sons of Anarchy download finishes.

I ain't heard of that, but it sounds good. I reckon you'd like "Top Boy" if that's still on 4od.
I love films based in british (and especially london) towers/estates. I had every Ray Winstone film at one point. I know Danny Dier is a bit hit'n'miss, but he's been in some proper top-quality films.

I was living the life next to people really living the life of Sexy Beast about 5-6 years ago... talkin' 'bout proper villans.

They proper excel at finding and nurturing british tallent.

You know the *twist*at the end? Do you think that was where the series was planned to go all along? I may have to catch up on watching this, and try to catch the next season too.

That twist was fucking wicked.
Most shows, and this is no exception, have not-too-great first seasons, especially the more epic ones, 'cus they are introducing all the concepts and characters, but this twist really justifide the not so good epps.

I just had a pizza from ASDA and it was just what I wanted at just the time I needed it, I was starving.
I'm about 80% unpacked now, handed my old keys over to the landlords, he's more than happy with the condition I've left the flat (fucking imaculate minus the carpet in the livingroom... got some industrial cleaners in today), so I should be getting all my deposit back. It's hard to think that I've been there for a 1/3 of my life. Had some real shit shit shit times, and some alright times too, and a few great ones.

( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Thu 29 Dec 2011, 19:51, Reply)

That reminds me.
When I was holidaying in Scotland once, by the banks of Loch Lomond in fact, I found myself in a pub which had many stuffed animals in it. A rather macabre form of decoration, but it was 11 o' clock in the morning and no other pub for miles around.

The barman was a sullen and decrepit old man, I could tell by his accent that he was from the lowlands- a distinct Dumfriesshire twang pervaded his speech patterns, but it wasn't this that marked him out as an outsider- the toupee upon his head and his ridiculous moustache, perched precariously above his crooked and pouting moue gave truth to his status as a clear sore thumb.

After sipping my morning malt, I looked around the dark and gloomy inn to see if any other human life apart from me and the alarming barman was to be found.

In this, I was disappointed.

The barman coughed, scraped his left foot against the floor and drew my attention to the most striking of the taxidermical specimens, a six foot tall stuffed brown bear, growling menacingly beside the front door.

"Yon bear belonged to a local man, a right sad story so it is"

The bewigged innkeeper started his tale.

Towards the end of the 18th century, in the wilds of Scottish Highlands, it wasn't uncommon for people to keep peculiar pets. James Flint was a man who had lived for his entire life by Loch Lomond, eking out a living from fishing in the summer months and woodcutting in the winter. His father had explored America, and when he returned to Scotland, brought with him a brown bear cub, which the 8 year old James took an instant shine to.

Over the next 15 years, James and his bear were inseperable. The bear was extremely well behaved, and in many respects, apart from its size, was no different in temperament to a pet dog. Then, in James's 24th year, stories began to circulate in the area about livestock going missing, herds of sheep being slaughtered in their fields and farmers finding themselves at the edge of their means as a result of these attacks.

In his village, tongues started to wag and fingers started to point.

James was called before the factor and the local Sheriff. He swore to keep his bear locked up at night, on pain of jailing and the killing of his beloved pet.

The livestock killings continued, though his bear was chained up.

He was returned to the Sheriff, and the final sanction was imposed.

James had to watch as angry villagers, armed with farming implements, took his beloved bear to pieces before him.

In the depth of his grief at the unfairness and loss of his gentle, near lifelong friend, he cursed the village and all her inhabitants. He placed a curse upon their future generations, bringing deformity and horror to them, as they had brought death and horror to his companion.

And that is why, to this very day, every newborn baby in the village is born with bear feet.
