Hey it's me.

I too have been going bald for a while. I too heard that your hairline comes from your mother's father, and mine was completely bald by 30. I either have a 3.5 months left with what's left of my hair, or its not entirely accurate. What's interesting is my literal hair line is the same shape as my dad and his dad, and while my grandfather is bald completely on top, my dad has more hair than I do.

It is odd the way it works out. I mean, as I've said my father is bald. Yet his younger brother has a full head of hair and his father also didnt lose his barnet. I have heard people say its best just to embrace it if it happens and go with it. Unless your minted and have 30 grand spare for a transplant. :(

You mean the patronising ones that really rub it in? Lol. 

If it had been Prince Albert, I would've got one in honour of him.

Ive learnt aggravation and stress can contribute. And I was contemplating a visit to the doctor, but I've just put it down to a genetic issue. Wouldn't hurt to try I suppose? Thanks Wook. 

^lol^ that's a new one Darh Solo. Makes a change from the usual stick I get.

Times a great healer Warbler, you'll be ok. Anyway, over the past year or so, I've become increasingly concerned at the way my hair has been thinning. I'm not necessarily vain (because I don't consider myself to be a good looking ignorant, islamaphobe lol) but I am beginning to slightly fret at the speed of which it is diminishing. I'm getting joking comments from work mates and friends, but I know it's just banter and I know I would do exactly the same. My father is as bald as a coot, so I guess it was inevitable but its still a bit of a shock to the system. My girlfriend says it doesn't bother her in the slightest, and I do believe her. But its starting to bother me. Anyone else suffered from this and able to give me some insight in how to cope? 

Ah those were the days. Jane Seymour, Erin Gray and me alone with my thoughts :)

What the hell is a GOUT version of Star Wars? Please explain.

The non-anamorophic versions ported from laserdisc to dvd in 2006.

I got it. Thanks.

Dennis Farina 69.

Shit that's a shock. Loved him in 'Midnight Run'. Was a talented actor. 

Grew up loving the original series. Remember drawing Cylon fighter ships at school! Wasn't so enamoured with the latter series where they found Earth though. My last memories of it were Dirk Benedict pointing knowingly as the Cylon walked past him at the the beginning of the A Team lol. As for the reboot?..tumbleweed...

I would like another one, but other family members don't seem to want another want.   I plan on talking about it with them once enough time passes.    It is too soon to talk about it now.

Difficult to say really. Only you can really gauge their feelings. I suppose if the sense of loss is still raw, then leave it for a while. A new puppy is a fantastic way to refocus everyone's attention. But it's best to let the grieving process run its course.

I miss my dog.   : (

Losing a beloved pet is hard Warbler, I've been there. Just cherish their memory. And the best thing to do is get a new one. :)

We're in a new golden age of silly SW internet rumors. And rumors mean traffic on a website.

This is true,

I can not believe he's still pissing about filming in England (if true?) yeah it maybe at bit of an upheaval, but think of the countless people that have to temporarily uproot due to their jobs. You signed up, sacrifices have to be made, if its such a big deal? Then leave your family at home. Get real.

Mel Smith 60.

Surprised to hear of Mel's death; he wasn't that old and I hadn't realised he'd been ill.

Responsible for some great comedy; I want to go and watch Morons From Outer Space and Wilt now.

A few weeks ago I was searching for a Smith and Jones sketch on Youtube but had no luck. It was on the set of a horror movie, and Smith and Jones were extras (who do you play? I'm "man with axe through head"). Part of the sketch went something like this (from memory):

- "Have you done this before?"

- "Yes, I was in Star Wars, I was a stormtrooper, the one going like this" [waves arms around]

- "That's interesting, I'll have to look out for that"

- "Oh it's not in, they cut me out"

- "Why?"

- "Well it looked stupid didn't it, a stormtrooper going like this" [waves arms around again]

Anyone else remember this, or can find a clip?

I'm afraid not. I remember him as the security guard in The Young ones University Challenge piss take. "Bacon sandwich, funny name for a ferret?"

Better than the alley fight in They Live? ;)

The alley fight in They Live was brilliant. The whole film was brilliant.

Don't know who on here has seen 'Watership Down' but the voice acting in that was very good.

Massive respect. The man was a comedy legend. Rest in peace.

Well, the 1st one was quite funny and had its moments. But as with films such as these that spawn shameless cash ins, the sequels were utter garbage. 

Yeah but the title of the thread....

Hmm..Black hole?..Robot Chicken?... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqukTAWPoco

Tried to give Silver Linings Playbook a watch a few days ago and had to bail after about 30 minutes.  I hate shaky-cam documentary-style camera work.  If you want me to watch your story, don't make me work to follow it around the screen.  It's annoying to me and lazy on the part of the director.

If that's the case, you want to try giving a British film called 'Outlaw' a whirl. It's unwatchable due to the shaky-cam. Gives you a headache.

So did you have a nice break Bingo? Considering how hot it is, I suppose you could've done with it being a week later.
