I tend not to be disappointed about technology
as in general I'm a late adopter, so the technology has matured by the time I buy it.

Mind you, most Freeview television broadcasts are pretty shit quality (except for BBC1, 2 and Ch 4, which are OK) but that's not the fault of the technology, it's just 'them' trying to squeeze money out of the system.

I hope I'm not dissapointed with the freeview box I was given the other day
I only want it for BBC4.

I love that too

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:34, Reply)

I love Top Gear
And in particular Clarkson. I believe that makes me some sort of tosser round here but the man is hilarious.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:29, Reply)

I watch top gear
but Clarkson's fawning over the celebs is vomit inducing.

Some say he is an utter cunt.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:31, Reply)

that is the one thing I don't like about clarkson
I find everything else about him fairly hilarious
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:32, Reply)

I do think he's funny
but because of Dave replaying Top Gear constantly I've got bored of his arrogance.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:34, Reply)

I'm normally happy to watch repeats of stuff I liked the first time around
but not top gear for some reason

I watched Crank last night. Fucking hilarious.

I just hope that he shines in The Expendables.

I cannot wait til it comes out. I'm hoping my new Empire arrives today as I think the preview or review is in this months.

I love being a subscriber as you get some really cool covers plus it arrives a week before everyone else can get it in the shop.

Wasn't it!
I loved it. It wasn't so bad that it's good, it was so ridiculous that it was awesome.

I loved it when he was trying to get his girlfriend to fuck him in the street and she was screaming and shouting but then just changed her mind.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:46, Reply)

Because if she hadn't changed her mind
It'd be a massively dark, horrific moment in an otherwise upbeat film.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:49, Reply)

that is very true

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:52, Reply)

yeah it would have been a very different film
if she'd just stomped off and he'd died there and then on the pavement.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 12:04, Reply)

or if he'd raped her

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 12:06, Reply)

yeah
we had our part time housemate there last night, and as it was starting she was all like "oh no, you do know what you are watching right?"

then me and the mrs laughed our arses off all the way through.

Took ages to work out that his girlfriend was Tasty Coma Wife from Scrubs. She has a fine arse. She played a stoner quite well. Particularly loved the pointless hiccups in one scene.

Yeah the Tom Cruise, Diaz interview was especially bad
but it's that little tosser Hammond who I don't like.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:35, Reply)

I used to like Hammond
His love of Oliver made me believe he actually gave a shit about cars rather than Clarkson who just likes driving fast going vroom. Then Hammond caught clarkcockitis and now just mocks everything that isn;t fast and goes vroom

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:50, Reply)

I agree
but it stopped being a proper car show years ago and the worst thing is they are recycling all the jokes. Setting things on fire camping - done twice now. Car falling off cliff/down big hill - twice. There are others but forgotten for the moment. James May has done the best out of it I think. His big ideas show is ace. I loved the show he did with the scalectrix as well.

Also, Clarkson is utterly hopeless when he appears on any other shows. He can only work to a script.

(Cave Duck, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:51, Reply)

yeah he's never very funny on quiz panel shows

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:53, Reply)

he's ok on QI because he actually knows some interesting stuff that others don't

And he eats lots of interesting animals.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Wed 28 Jul 2010, 11:56, Reply)

yeah, his toys show is good
I still enjoy the show, and I want to know about supercars, not just what shitty ordinary cars are around.

true, I don't think anyone watches it to find out which car to buy next
Although I did really enjoy the bit they did where they got three little runabouts and got their mums to test them for shopping capacity, ease of driving, etc.
