Saw that a few times directed by Stanley Kramer and a host of good old great American actors in it namely, Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, and Judy Garland to name a few. I watched an old Golden Oldie yesterday and you just cannot beat some of these old films and I would give this top marks, 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

No doubt the man's a bellend, but I can't agree with this. Sturridge and Suarez were brilliant (worth noting he rescued Sturridge from the scrap heap at Chelsea) but just look at the rest of the squad. Mignolet: Shite. Johnson: Shite. Flanagan: Shite. Cissokho: Absolute fucking dogshit. The centre halves (Agger, Sakho, Skrtel, Toure) were decent but no more, and only when they were fit. In the midfield you had Gerrard, who everyone said was finished and had been for a few years, Henderson, about whom big questions were being asked, and Joe Allen, who was the very essence of mediocrity. Going forward apart from the aforementioned, there was Coutinho at 21 and the teenage Sterling. Both very raw. Then Aspas and Luis Alberto. Both very shite. That squad had absolutely no business being anywhere near the top of the league, and Rodgers deserves a lot of credit for getting them as close as he did. Would a more pragmatic manager have just taken the draw we needed at home to Chelsea? Probably, but a more pragmatic manager wouldn't have had us in a position where that was good enough. I think he's a limited manager, but clearly good at what he does. I'd like to see him back in the Premier League. He's good something to prove and I'm intrigued to see what he'd do with this Leicester squad. At the very least he wouldn't just park the bus and be happy with a 1 or 2 goal loss against the top sides.

Woah slow down there, I just managed to plant some parsnips, catch an anchovie and steal someone's spring onions well and also visited the saloon a couple of times...

First I've heard of this actually, a Google doesn't bring anything up aside from the fact that this is indeed true. It's not uncommon in the UK, I don't know if it is in Germany, for a young person to change their surname. Usually the circumstances derive from parents not being together either at birth or through divorce a few years later. E.g. his parents may have been Mr and Mrs Logan when he was born and the dad went on to walk out on them or something else that caused him to want to take his mother's maiden name Pickford. Or possibly his parents weren't married so he took his mother's name Logan and then later decided he wanted to be called Pickford after his Dad, or his parents even got married after he was born and they all became Pickfords. Could be any of these scenarios or others that are similar. I have at least one friend who has changed her surname twice since we were teenagers, and I've taught at least half a dozen students whose legal surnames have been changed for one reason or another, involving circumstances at home, so like I say it isn't uncommon.

Yep Mutianyu 100%

I drive a Ford Focus now btw.

' Pakisaurus ' named after the country of Pakistan is a genus of Titanosaur dinosaurs group which had very long necks, long tails, small heads (relative to the rest of their body), and four thick, pillar-like legs. They are notable for the enormous sizes attained by some species. The Pakisaurus genus includes the largest animals of the group and often the Baluchetherium named after the province of Balochistan, Pakistan is said to be the largest animal to have ever lived on land.

That's how the British colonised half of the World, no one could figure out their extent of 'trading' And still you have eight days

Eh, not really groundbreaking. We already knew that Chinese and South-East Asian traders had touched down on Australia as well. I just doubt the extent of the 'trading'. I'd wager it was more trading blows than spices. Interesting though!

Just finished season 5 of the best cop comedy show on TV. NINE NINE!

Classic, that one. I love a good war movie. Don't know if you have seen these ones, but apart from the obvious classics (Casablanca, Dr.º Strangelove, Gone with the Wind), I would recommend Judgment at Nuremberg, The Battle of Algiers, Come and See and Rossellini's war trilogy. 'eXistenZ' 7/10 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' 7/10

And here's a nice simple visualisation showing how the rings form:

Aye, Jaime has redeemed himself. His character arc is amazing, and he's definitely the most honorable character now (besides Jon), IMO. Well, it helps that Nikolaj Costar-Waldau is one of the best actors on the show too.
