The Walk....Correct me if im wrong but someone has made a feature length film based on someone walking across a high wire?
To be fair, it was between the Twin Towers, illegally, without any form of safety equipment. Took a lot of planning Not sure if this film is much cop, but I found the documentary Man On Wire absolutely brilliant and I don't normally do documentaries. Philippe Petit, said man on wire, is very engaging in it. 
8 trips/45 minutes.. |

Exciting times as a kid seeing this wheeled in to class.  I remember one history lesson where we watched Blackadder for an hour, brilliant. I still have a VCR in my cupboard, only nowadays its in with the artefacts rather than equipment... |

The terrible French accent of the main chap in the trailer annoyed me enough to put me off watching it.

There was a lot of preparation, staking out the building site, getting a team together, etc. Think the whole prep lasted a year or two. Bit like like the great train robbery wasn't just the robbery bit I suppose. No idea if its any good, too dragged out, etc. But if they can make a film about a bloke trapped down a hole for 127 hours this should be a piece of piss. |

Yeah, just watched it. He's also got a slappable face too |

Randomly, I have the Dr. Snuggles theme tune going round my head. I hope that some of you do too now I mentioned it so I don't suffer alone.

I've had 'You're just too good to be true' going round my head this morning. I actually burst into song in the lift!
There's a football song in that tune somewhere

People using the phrase "smashed it" as in achieving a good result. Why?

I'd always assumed it was as in 'smashed it out the park' baseball/cricket analogy.
Not the other smashed it..

Having to drive overnight for 6 hours from Glasgow to.......Poxford.
And worse then spend a day in Poxford on about 4 hours sleep.
I suffer for my art.

The phrase "e-meet" as in "nice to e-meet you". Fuck off.

I, like most of us here on the TEF, hate bad grammar/spelling.
I've just read an email from a senior manager which has to be the worst I've read in terms of grammar. I mean, I can understand it from one of us minions/pondlife, but from senior managers?!

In my experience, all of the senior managers I have worked under, have awful grammar and spelling so I concur. |
