“GoodFellas - One of the best Gangsta movies of all time, very long film. Gets a little dry towards the end. The film gave me one of my favorite quotes ever. "One day some kids from the local neighbourhood carried my Moms groceries all the way home, you know why it was outta respect". Not a prefect quote but you get the jist !!!

Matrix- Sorry but yes, it was great !!!”

Goodfellas is a top film, but more of a Godfather bloke personally, but Matrix was a cracker. Saw it recently, and I think it's already starting to look a little dated, guess that's the reality with modern CGI films
Could KFC run out of steam? 10th April 2012 2:05 PM
“Is KFC not number one in China? If this is the case, they're pretty well positioned IMO”

I think this is the argument, they are gaining market share and growth overseas, but if their home market deteriorates, then could this impact the global brand?

Interesting take about bread though

“The problem I found with Facebook is, is that everyone I quite happily left beyond in another world 30 odd years ago found me...”

lol, brilliant, but that's why you create a completely separate account for your business

Also saves you spamming your "friends" with any commercial stuff, or stops one of your old "friends" putting saucy stories about your distant past onto your business page Ahem, well normally...
UK Fuel Strike looming... 10th April 2012 11:06 AM
Well we had an Easter free Fuel Strike, but the 2 sides are still talking

Acas chief conciliator Peter Harwood said the pre-Easter talks had been "constructive" and that both sides were "positively engaged and committed to the process"
BBC News - Fuel talks with unions have resumed after Easter break

At least the panic buying has subsided and garages seem to have returned to normal, though clocked the price on the way to work,
Fancy a dabble in shares? 10th April 2012 11:00 AM
Steve's tip of the day, Lloyds

Share markets are plummeting, lots of doom and gloom from Europe and the States, and Lloyds has fallen to 30p and could potentially go lower, from a recent high of 38p a few weeks a go.

Personally I think this will be soon back to the late 30's and hopefully reaching the 40's soon, the minute there is some positive news, as these stock trader types seem to be a jittery fickle bunch Though you can guarantee it will now crash to 5p now I've cursed it...

Does any one else enjoy a flutter on the markets? Any other tips?
“Perhaps if more time was spent strengthening the law itself, there would be less need for litigation?”

Interesting take, trouble, or at least to us laymen I guess a lot of law is in the
interpretation, as opposed to trying to legislate against every out come.
UK Budget today... 8th April 2012 1:23 PM
Can't really fault that top 5 scentral

Definately a big fan of removing employers NI, and
“It has evolved in time, going in now you can buy and rent all games for all consoles, buy the consoles and accessories and buy or rent dvd, blue ray and the like. Buy food, drink, posters everything.. Cyber Geek Heaven!”

Interesting, with the problems with the Game Group, maybe this has been a blessing in disguise for BB?
“I remember Blockbuster as one big hassle, hassle getting there, hassle dropping the DVD back on time (Which I hardly did)”

Yep I seem to remember getting fined pretty regularly Mind you, used to be the same with library books (anyone remember them?), I'm obviously naturally lazy!
