Im not to shabby, but something has been plauging my mind for a few days now.
You know in films and telly shows, when a character breaks a tooth (or takes one out), how do they do that? I mean, the teeth are even and look right, but there is a hole missing, even in the close ups you can see through.

How do they do that?

And I have no idea. I did try and look really closely during The Hangover but couldn't work it out.

Hollywood -CGI, or maybe they are lucky and the actor already lost a tooth, or the actor is a method actor who removes it intentionally...

TV - could be cgi, but most likely a prosthetic tooth for close ups and blacked out for distance shots.

I guess.

Our works do is tomorrow night - I'm not going because I probably won't make it back the 25miles from venue to home if it continues to snow like it has.

Also - the fact that a large group of Train Drivers, in a room with a free bar and the knowledge none of us has to work for the next few days means that there will be at least one fight, several people being sick and the evening will end with someone getting very close to being arrested and stuck in the cells for the night.

On second thoughts... I might find a way to turn up...

What is it with railway staff and alcohol?
We're shocking; 25% of the budget goes on food and ice sculptures and the rest on the booze...

It's these things that make me feel better about all of the stupid things I've done when drunk

Emmerdale FTW
It's so shit it's hilarious.

I've become quite the Emmerdale fan recently for the irony value and discovered that the fanclub meeting:-

is in a hotel about five miles from me.

Don't go!
Pigs eat everything. They won't even find your bones.

The programme on ITV right now is so shit. But last week there was Adam Garcia in a school uniform and this week he HAD to take his t-shirt off to fix a leak, then got sprayed with water on his naked torso.
I can't change channels.

I don't think
That the Emmerdale animals are allowed into the fan club party.

Unless they wear ties, obviously.

There is a conspicuous lack of creatures generally on Emmerdale - it's not Emmerdale Farm any more, see.

There is a vet, but he just goes about drinking and looking greasy.

Course it's Emmerdale Farm
I like nothing better than settling down after cleaning up with the Jif, putting some Oil of Ulay on my face, and cracking open the Opal Fruits and Marathons, then watching Emmerdale Farm.
No?

I drive home
In my Cortina especially to watch it.

And if I could grow Amos sideburns I'd die an even happier man than I already am.

I'm getting a crick
So I'll talk about ol' Frank here.
I don't know millions about him.
I think the guy who designed lots of Liverpool tenement blocks may have been influenced by him,but I never got round to checking the dates.

He was the man
Who first established how to build upwards. He developed the principle of skyscrapers.

He also designed the Tribune building in Chicago which is the most stunning bit of architecture I've ever seen.

Of greater immediate significance is that little kitty has got out and will be very cold. I need to lure her back in.

Put some butter in the microwave til it's runny and waft it out of the door
EDIT: and where I'm from was based on the Karl Marx-Hof complex, but always reminded me of the Guggenheim.
Most people laugh when I tell them this.

You're just on the right
After the tech college, heading via Kensington to Old Swan.

Am I right? I navigate Liverpool by pubs.

Little kitty is still out but at least tonight the catflap isn't frozen solid like it was last night.

No more giggling updates.

Aw my tenements aren't there any more.
Very similar to Myrtle Gardens/Minster Court near the Oxford Pub, behind the uni. Both the work of Sir Lancelot Keay.
1930s.Very pretty and art deco at points and in their day. But not like that in the 1980s!

Think I roughly know where you are
The Oxford is a big, angular Georgian boozer. I think.

Anyway - I'm far more concerned about little kitty now, who must have scuttled out when I was having a tab on the doorstep. She's never encountered snow before so she's probably a bit confused.

'Night.

Dude I hope she hurries home
She'll be fine though because cats are wellard.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 18 Dec 2009, 23:20, Reply)

Right!
Little kitty is back home.

Giggling person is in the back of a car going to Clare/Claire's house.

I'm not worried about the spelling; it'll be fine and now I can go to bed.
