I had a client ask me last month if I would drive to mid Wales to shoot Sian Lloyd for a feature. It was one picture, which would have taken an hour, tops. Bookended by five or six hours of driving in either direction - largely due to the last 90 odd miles being all A,B and country roads. Can't remember the mileage but I think, according to Google it would be close to 600 round trip. Fuel alone would have eaten close to half the £300 they wanted to pay all in. They were politely told to fuck off.

Good news everybody... Mrs Kov has played buzz on a PS3 and loved it.

Is it available on a 360, if yes....

Where is the bestest place to get one and what else will i need (wireless, live etc)

As has been mentioned Scene it is the Xbox equivalent (although doesnt have the same range of subjects n stuff) , most games come with 4 large 'buzz' like controllers and i'm sure Tesco has them on offer at the moment (something like £22 or so for a game plus the controllers) , Lewie or Mr Russ would be your best bet to find em cheaper

** Edit from Mr Russ's site **

The original version (Lights Camera Action) £11.95 from Zavvi online

The follow up (Box office smash) £14.99 from Amazon

http://www.bargaincomparison.com/gamepr ... B001CSR6ZQ

Both come with 4 controllers

cheers, now to find an X-box

Due to rail replacement bus services, I spent SEVEN HOURS travelling for a 1 1/2 hour meeting in That London last week. Whilst ill. Uphill both ways. While eating gravel.

You could, of course, have eight hours of work to do when you get there, rather than just a brief lecture then home.

Yeah, but if he's only getting offered £300 for it then he can't be a very good hitman...

Is Dollhouse worth watching?

I might download it as it has Eliza Dushku in it

Its a bit hit and miss at times - there are a few threads discussing it already

The original when it first came out

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3278&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=dollhouse

And its mentioned a few times in the general purpose US thread

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2098&p=330732&hilit=dollhouse#p330732

Season 1 had quite a slow start but picked up well and the last 3 or 4 are really good with a final ep which (without spoiling things) takes it in a totally different direction.
Season 2 so far has gone back to the same type of stuff as early season 1 but i did really enjoy the last ep (number 4 so far).

Its been getting quite poor viewing figures in the US so is unlikely to continue beyond season 2 (although i guess they could continue in comics or movies which would both be typical for Joss stuff)

Ta, I'll have a read when I finish for the day

Maybe they thought my pumpkins were unboss.

I'd play along with any kids that played the Halloween game (I actually think that done properly it can be a great community spirited thing), but the random teens with no costume who look for money and nowt else, can get to fuck.

We never got any guisers this year (other than my wee cousins who just go round their family & neighbours) kinda disappointed

though it does mean more tablet for me.

Also, wtf has that guy done to his wife? :spew:

We have a Dollhouse thread. The first episode can be found within it.

There was not a single trick or treater round mine... normally I would be happy about this, but I have a fuckload of Haribo my sister gave me as a cast-off from some promotion she was doing at work that I wanted to get rid of >:(

Have you considered eating them, Albin0kid? That's my preferred method of sweet disposal after halloween.

Did anyone else watch that Old Bailey drama thing last night? Rather enjoyed that. The MP's wife is scrummo, which helps.

You could, indeed, but I suspect madness lies that way.

I used to work 50 miles from home, and had no transport. Two hours each way using public transport for an eight-hour shift, and you soon get very fed up with the world. Sixty hours of work* for forty hours of pay isn't nice, especially when travel costs came from your own pocket and took up a quarter of your weekly wage.

A year of that, and you wouldn't be surprised at how depressed I got.

*I've always counted travel time as work time. It's certainly not time to myself.

I have been eating them when the mood takes me for the past 2 months or more. I think you are underestimating the quantity of sweets I was hoping to get rid of.

Still, they are "in date" until next summer so no rush I guess.

I would like the Sky Player on 360, but I can't even use it on PC. It doesn't recognise my password, then when I phone up to reset it they think I've got my mother's maiden name wrong and won't hear anything to the contrary.

It appears that the power adapter for my Xbox 360 Racing Wheel is shagged.

Anyone got a spare they don't want, or some idea as to what voltage/wattage/ampage or whatever I need in a replacement plug?

And if the shopkeeper tries to insist you buy them after you've torn them to shreds and gobbled the choccies handfuls at a time, wave your knob at him.

Do you find that being needlessly horrible to people slowly eats away at your soul? Or did that event horizon get crossed some time ago?

The county borough was formed on 1 April 1996, by the merger of the former Mid Glamorgan districts of Rhondda, Cynon Valley and Taff-Ely (with the exceptions of Creigiau and Pentyrch, which were added to Cardiff). Its name reflects all these, and thus also the rivers Cynon, Rhondda and Taff.
