Ah, but do they play cricket on that green with the pub?

Hmm if they do would it not just be a wonderful place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon?

Aye, that it would

* dreams *

Yeah, I think they do... but I'm not sure what team it's for...

The Pub was nice though, they had chairs and benches outside for watching the matches...

I really can't remember what the place was called though... I came across it on one of my "let's cycle in a random direction and see where I end up" sort of outings... Turned out rather nicely

But this was a few years ago now...

*Goes to find a map...*

You know, Fish, Yoda did not, in fact, kick arse. I watched the lightsabre battle very closely, and in no point did Yoda resort to such dirty tactics. I feel your comment earlier was a slander on Yoda's good character and name; he would never do anything so low, or turn to the dark side.

One of those things in life that really annoy me is the expression "kick arse". It comes up in almost every television programme now as the generic threat, and at the end of the day, it isn't scary. Okay, so the bottom is going to be kicked. Your not even told that your bottom is going to be kicked hard - just a light tap with the foot would seem to suffice, and that is supposed to be a threat. I don't know - it just seems such a sloppy and ill-defined threat. There are so many other threats that could be said, like tearing off your neck and drinking your blood. Or using your eyeballs as ping-pong balls. Or chopping your arm off. Or holding your legs against a welder. Or setting your hair on fire. Or pulling out all nails from hands. Or breaking bones.
Compared to which, kicking a bottom slightly is no threat whatsoever.

<BB<

but it does have the benefit of succinctness, vague rudeness and non smugness.

I have to agree with BB there. It does pale into insignificance somewhat in comparison.

Forgive me if I'm wrong... but isn't that taking my comments just "slightly" TOO seriously???

If I HAD wanted to be literal, then I would have said "Seen Yoda perform a stagering feet of swordsmanship, or masterfully battled with Count Dooku..." But no, I was giving into a "commonly used term" as you put it. Is there anything wrong with that? It certainly indicates a certain intention, if that is interpreted correctly. And I had assumed that it would be, as the term is so commonly used. I was also NOT trying to promote the use of the term as a threatening statement, you've just proved that it isn't...

So in actual fact then, Yoda did "Kick Arse"... not literally, but did he kill Dooku? Or did he actually injure anyone?... (If you've seen it you'll know).... So

You guys have got way too much time

Still, wait 'till you see Spiderman, much better all round. Weird though, they explain how he can climb up walls, but not how he gets to shoot webs.

Ho hum, no doubt someone will come up with the answer, maybe in the sequal.

Yes.... but YOU can talk my friend!

Yes, Spidy looks like it's going to be fun too...
I thought he had his suit had "web producing bit's" in the wrists... ...... I could be wrong though...
And why wait for the sequel??? Shouldn't one film suffice?

*re-considers his statement after realising it'll take 6! to tell the story of Anakin Skywalker......*

Personally I'm waiting to see MiB II...

That grabs my attention more too, DMS- I can't say that Spiderman really captures my imagination!

it will clearly be rubbish. like austin powers 3 will be...

It just seems like they are trying to get more money after the sucess of last time. Some work, some are just cr*p.

Not to mention X-Men, Star Trek, James Bond, Matrix, .....

Ever noticed that Speilberg rarely does sequels...

If you can't tell a story in one film, or if you haven't finished the story, then make a sequel. Otherwise just leave it at that! Otherwise it'll end up like Jurassic Park! Homealone! Or worse Cinderella 2!!!

just the thought of it...

The Lost World anyone? Indiana Jones???

Ah, but James Bond, is like Indian Jones... You know the character, you know the plot, you know he'll get the girl, kill the bad guy's and only get grazed whilst doing it!

It's that you want to see it done "slightly" differently, you never expect anything stunningly new, or amazing plot twists. You know what you're in for... But it's just fun...
