Standing tonight...seating tomorrow. However my OH is due any day now so I fully expect a phone call just as they walk onstage.

I'm sitting. I'll see more that way! If you see a short girl on her own with a boards t-shirt on, don't be afraid to say hi!
If the baby arrives before it, you'll be due some good fathers day presents in the future to make up for it!

Because everyone that has played it told everyone else how damn good it is and they went and got it.

PS3 pad is fine btw, I own both and prefer the dual shock.

They have made the PS4 pad bigger for the 360 fatboys.

It's not the pad size, it's the shape and especially the r2 and l2 buttons, they're not as comfortable as the xbox one. Also the switch of the stick and the d-pad (can't even remember the right names for these 2 things) are not as good for the PS. That said next console will be a PS4 with an xbox style controller.

Liam O

Good Will Hunting.

Though I have somewhat stopped watching films due to the amount of excellent T.V. that is present in this day and age. Just get Netflix and go mad.

I fast forwarded a lot of it, there was one scene really bad, i really dont know how anyone can let it be released with that scene in it.

The_Kew_Tour

Will watch anything ****ing hell I have even stayed in apparently haunted places by myself as dares but this gave me few scares

Dont do it children.:)

IvySlayer

Wish I was more like you, I used to get scared watching Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Nuri Sahin

Should have recommended it to Copper Pipe :pac:

Not watched it, nor do I have any intention of doing so. In saying that, curiosity got the better of me and I read the plot of the film on Wiki a year or two ago. Wished I hadn't.

Yep,that's what I did as well and I felt the same.

@ The Kew Tour,my mate that watched it said he didn't find it scary just beyond revolting haha. He said The Human Centipede 2 was pretty nasty as well.

I don't know why people put themselves through that. Why watch something that's gonna **** you up for a few days? It must be like being a Stoke fan

I know you are probably messing but just in case, I wouldn't bother. It's unbelievably bad.

Cantona's Collars

The Premier League is to request a court order forcing internet service providers to block a popular football streaming website before the next season.

The League wants ISPs to cut off access to FirstRow1.eu, which operates from Sweden.

The BBC understands none of the ISPs plan to challenge the court order.

If successful, the action will be the first non-music-related site block in the UK.

The Premier League's move follows a precedent set by the BPI music industry body, which has been successful in having several piracy websites blocked in the UK, most notably the Pirate Bay.

In those cases, ISPs have stood firm and insisted they would only take action if ordered to do so by the courts.

The UK's major ISPs each received a letter from the Premier League outlining a possible court order, and were given a deadline of Friday to signal any intent to challenge the action.

When approached by the BBC, none of the ISPs would comment specifically on the Premier League's planned action, but all reiterated that blocking of sites would not be done voluntarily.
'Conflicts of interest'

The situation raises additional issues for BT, as from next season it will be a major distributor of Premier League football through its new sports TV channels.

BT has paid £246m for rights to show Premier League football, while Sky paid £760m for its portion of the coverage.

Sky's ISP operation has historically been seen as taking a more sympathetic stance with copyright holders requesting the blocking of sites, whereas BT has in the past taken such battles to court on behalf of the ISP industry as a whole.

Jim Killock, of the Open Rights Group, said he worried that conflicted interests might lead to the blocking process becoming less transparent.

"All of the major ISPs now have differing degrees of conflicts of interest," he told the BBC.

"Sky, BT, Virgin and TalkTalk all supply televisions services now, so we have to expect that there will be more reluctance to be as transparent as they have been in the past."

Mr Killock also expressed concern that as the process for granting court orders gets quicker, it may lead to sites being wrongly blocked out.

"It's possible that very legitimate services will at some point be attacked by one of these orders.

"Our main concern here is that these orders should be considered slowly, and they should be subject to much more public review."

FirstRow1.eu did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.

Buddy of mine told me about it around a year ago and then fast forwarded through bits of it. Scarred man. Scarred.

It's also on YouTube, completely uncensored, which is madness.

GLaDOS

Never into those 'shock movies', even the likes of 2girls1cup I wouldn't bother with. Don't see the point in disgusting yourself.

Worst I've watched is Cannibal Holocaust (Director was in trouble for animal abuse and had to prove the actors were unharmed afterwards).

The part with the baby is seriously ****ed up, who thinks that kind of stuff. I'm immune to most shock things but this was too much.
