That is a beauty. Wow. It's right below your Venus 19 on the jealously scale. Yep - great colours. I imagine there aren't many better copies out there... I have a CGC 7.0 copy (2nd-highest graded last time I checked). I also have a raw 5.5 or so, to go with my run of Youthful Magazines horror titles. (Yeah I'm a hoarder.) I had no idea you were a PCH fan. Great books.

"Girls in armour playing Rugby" I think I like to follow the college games on ESPN, saw Marcus Lattimore receive a horrible leg injury , it will be on youtube, if you are interested, to effing horrible for me to post here, but it should dispel the girls wearing armour fallacy. . I doubt one of those 300 pound linebackers would take kindly to such an epithet.

I've got Triangle, Blair Witch, and The Amityville Horror (The original, not the remake guff) lined up for an evenings entertainment. Gotta love any opportunity to have a horror-movie-a-thon. Oh, don't get me wrong, I always have a horror fest to watch on Halloween. I hate the commercial side of it, plus its an American thing anyway. It is indeed (Halloween was unheard of in the UK until the mid 80s). However the kids love it, and it is a good reason to put on a horror flick, so there it is. We used to make lanterns out of turnips in the late 1960s early 1970s so I dont agree, I have a picture of me and my sister dressed up for Halloween and I am about 10 that would be 1973. I think its trick or treat is the American influence. I can remember " A penny for Halloween", the same as penny for the guy. Seriously? All I know is that (due to reading Mad magazine and U.S. comics from the early ' 70s onwards) I knew all about Halloween, but saw no sign of it until the ' 80s. Maybe you're right, maybe it was all about the trick or treating turning up later on. Surprised there was a "penny for Halloween" when Bonfire Night is only 5 days later however. Looks like we were born in the same year...

Have you read the BBC article about a documentary, I think called Room 237. Found link. The Shining - BBC article Many thanks for the link - I'll no doubt buy that doc. Kubrick occupied such a unique and remote headspace that you have to wonder what he was trying to evoke beneath the surface of that film. Along with The Exorcist, it's one of the few older horror films that still has the power to shock and disturb.

True....the place is overrun with them. So did I, especially with the non-UK supporters.

did you see the Spurs game? 3 penalties we should have gotten Haven't ManU had enough decisions against Spurs? not sure where to start with this, sendings off that weren't fouls, penalties given for fouls which weren't fouls which were outside the box, Man U quickly take a free kick backwards, Spurs latch on & take the ball, through on goal & the ref blows and says he wasn't ready. Christ as a Spurs fan of over 40 years I could literally reel off 100s but you know what they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words. Nice to have another Spurs fan on board...not that many around here.

Watched The Shining again last night. Still plays, even if it does take its time.

Don't often see results like that.

This is a very happy thread.

An infinately better weekend than mine. Picked up a poorly Alex from Nursery on Friday and was immediatly infected with his stomach upset. Spent all Friday night and most of saturday either "talking to" or sitting on the bog. Unpleasant is an understatement. On the plus side, I've probably shifted another half stone towards my Ka-Zar cos-play challenge for LSCC There's always an upside...

Clattenburg deserves censure for making me sympathize with Chelsea, especially regarding Torres's ludicrous sending off.

Indeed.

American Football. The CFL isn't distinguished from the NFL in that regard.

Pub crawl? Pubs were on the agenda. Basically we just drove around and found a few nice villages and got merry. Luckily I wasn't on driving duty. Stayed in a place near Bath...

How were the concert - ears still ringing? Concerts were excellent - no ringing

Went farting around Dorset and Wiltshire over the weekend with a few mates on a birthday excursion. All a bit of a blur.
