I don't know much about it but being a Ken Loach film I guess it's safe to assume it will be a 'hard-hitting drama'. I'm led to believe the accents are bordering on indecipherable as well...

Young Adam is quite a good film as well, slightly disturbing but very moody and atmospheric.

Im reading Snow by Orhan Pamuk

Im only about 10 pages in so cant revue it as yet.

I've been to a couple of lectures given by KL in Swindon..these were at the Town Hall .

  Think history will show him to be a great film director.    If commercially a failure.

I don't remember it being that hard to understand, but then I've been up there a fair few times so you get to know a bit of slang and get used to the accent.


Will look it up, Reg.  Cheers.

Not something I could claim to have read recently, but I did revisit some of the oeuvre of Flann O'Brien (Myles Na Gopaleen) a few weeks ago.

  IMO his An Béal Bocht is the finest book translated into the English language.

I have not read a whole book since primary school :shock: read magazines though but mostly look at the pictures(and I can read).
