Morning all
For the dad's here how was fathers day?

For the others how was Sunday?

Father's day was excellent, thanks for asking.
How was yours?

Just so we don't miss out on the witty repartee and stunning insights of King Zog, perhaps I could attempt a post in his (almost) inimitable style. Here goes....
Hahaha yeah, Sundays, Father's day, yeah.

Morning, my Sunday was alright, roast dinner in the pub
I have an ethical question, though. Saw a profile on a dating website, thought the profile picture looked more like a professional headshot. Drag and drop into google image search and BOOM, an IMDB profile. She was in a bunch of short independent films and a New Years Eve thing on telly. I wrote and asked if she was in something at New Years, implying I had a vague memory. She wrote back seeming very pleased to be remembered from a brief appearance.

So do I tell her how I found out now - stop the lie growing out of control - or save it until the honeymoon?

Woke up hungover to buggery, shifted to Wetherspoons to eat something to help shift it. Felt alright after that, went home and finished my book, then watched the cricket. After that, cooked some food for dinner, then started watching Game Of Thrones.

I can't for the life of me remember what that beer and sausage place was called.
However, if you want to try and find it, get off the subway at Oranienburger Tor. Walk south towards the river on FriedreichstraBe. Cross over the river and it's on the left hand side of the road opposite a Superdry shop. It's a pretty big place with a central bar.

It's near the railway bridge. I think it's before you pass underneath it.

You could get off the subway at FreidreichstraBe, of course. I think if you do that you'll need to walk north towards the river.

Oh cool,
In which case, north of the river is OranienburgstraBe. It's the long street that connects FreidreichstraBe with the East museum district. From the Oranienburg Tor S-bahn station, walk down OranienburgstraBe. Before you get to the fuck-off church, there's a small square with a cocktail place on the corner. That's opposite the hotel we stayed at and they do some pretty good drinks.

It's called Mirchi.

Just like the seven samurai and the magnificent 7, the reason they didn't make a "battle royale" remake was because it was too similar to the hunger games
(, Mon 17 Jun 2013, 10:45, Reply)
The Magnificent 7 was actually based on Seven Samurai, its a relling of the same story
Whereas Hunger Games just has some similarities and they're really not that similar when you watch them side by side. Yes They are not currently making a remake because the hunger games was similar but apparently the author of the hungers games had not seen Battle Royale and similarities are coincidence. Either way, loosely based does not make it a remake. as far as I am aware there are no actual remakes of Battle Royale nor do there need to be, its only 13 years old and was done pretty well first time round.
