What? Of course not! God. It's acted! Also: great, great show. Although I thought the paying for sex one this week was just too jolly grim for words.

I couldn't stick the Divine Comedy to be honest. It was such a take-off of Virgil. And I just don't understand that whole Catholic mythology business. I suppose it was alright in Inferno, but once he hits purgatory I switched off.

Re: 2008 English premier League Geez, sorry! Touchy subject! I didn't realise that. But Man Utd wastes two precious letters! I wouldn't go questioning my supporter's credentials though mate! I've gone for them in a raving, posters on the wall sort of way from the age of 5, shedding tears during...

Re: 2008 English premier League Ah, but who cares about anything else, when his throws are so damn good! I must say it's awfully hard to decide who's to go down this season. I mean before it began I would've bet on Hull, Stoke and Bolton, but they all same as capable as any to stay up. There...

Beatles The Strokes Arcade Fire Radiohead The Velvet Underground The Modern Lovers Buzzcocks Tokyo Police Club The Band (they are THE Band after all!) Flip, I dunno! It's sorta hard to narrow it down. The Beatles are number one though.

Armo virumque cano! I'm honestly sick to death with the Aeneid after Latin last year, but I still prefer it to the Greeks. I find Homer gets too jolly rhetorical. And while Virgil has his share of divine machination, Homer takes it to an absurd and rather irritating extent. Actually I think my...

Prince Andrei from War and Peace, although I can think of dozens who could challenge him. Notable contenders: Treebeard, Elizabeth Bennet and goddam Holden Caulfield.

The Hockey Song! - Stompin' Tom Connors. Go CANADA! Although if I'm being more fully honest it'd be Campus - Vampire Weekend. The song that remembers what I'm fighting for during exams.

Tough one. I suppose for the sake of it I'll limit it to the last... 20 years? That'll do. John Woo Edgar Wright Peter Jackson Jim Jarumsch Coen Brothers NOT GEORGE LUCAS. I think 20 years ago must be when he went insane and decided upon his evil scheme to ruin all our lives. (just thought I'd...

Alias - FlintPaper577 Main/favourite class - Don't really have a main one. I find I've played longest as Medic, spy and demoman. Fave map - Goldrush! The thrill of blocking the cart at the edge of the zone and then holding out for 5 minutes is UNSURPASSED IN HUMAN ENDEAVOUR! Funniest TF2...

Re: 2008 English premier League I'm a big fan of Villa right now. I think O'Neill has done a great job of putting together a solid team with bags of flair to boot. I can even see them challenging for 4th! Meanwhile more pressing matters: a) How sucky are Arsenal! b) How great is Rory Delap...

1. ANY Lucasarts adventure game of the 90s (Sam and Max. Monkey Island. DOTT. Indiana Jones. Absolute perfection!) 2. Civilization IV (simply magnificent, and addictive too). 3. FIFA 96 (the game that got me into soccer. Am I a nerd or am I a nerd?) 4. KOTOR (1, not 2. The second one was kinda...

Much as I'm loath to get involved in such a heated debate (I'm a protestant myself, so I'm inevitably going to get eaten alive...) I must say I've never understood why it's considered acceptable to mercilessly abuse the Christian scriptures, yet if you tried to do likewise to the Quran or the...
