    I wouldn't be a Gervais fan at all but I watched an episode of Derek last week. It was as poor as I'd feared it would be and just confirmed my suspicion that the TV bosses will let Ricky do whatever the fook he feels like and show it in a prime time slot.
    Watched the pilot when it was out and thought it was borderline ok. Watched the first episode of the new series and could only manage 20 mins, it's awful. Trying to be all poignant and melancholic with the music choices too. Dreadful stuff. Doesn't help that he's a real needy twat about it on Twitter too.

    Some astonishingly brilliant music that everyone needs to hear because their salvation depends on it, so don't say you haven't been warned.

    Anyone here know anything about sat navs?

    Looking to buy one or two cheap units for use on hols in Florida this year. Cheap Garmins and TomToms on Adverts.ie for 40 quid or so. Is there any reason that one of these couldn't be used in the states once the right maps are installed? The cheap ones aren't region locked or anything are they?

    Feature-wise, all I need is to be able to enter an address and have it direct me there.

    Miltown ask Scuba he used to work for one of the natnav companies. Butr yes with the rifht maps they will be grand. When I was in the US a few years ago it was cheaper to buy a TomTom than get satnav in the rental car. Then I brought it home and put the irish maps on it. I also have Home Simpson dictate directions. Navitotal.com is a good site for all that.. pm me if u need help

    Some of the comments underneath are great:

    This makes me think of the bar in star wars

    the hipster's dream instrument

    Looks like that guy is playing on clits.

    I've listened to a lot of techno but I never knew it could be as awesome as that. Vibrations is the name of the film and I need to see it right now!

    Vibrations (1996) The first user review on IMDB sums it up :pac:. I'll have to give it a watch when I've a minute.
    IMDB wrote:
    When I first saw VIBRATIONS back in 1996, I described it to friends who swore I was making it up. A keyboardist (James Marshall) has his hands cut off by some thugs playing around with a backhoe. He becomes a homeless bum after his girlfriend flinches at the touch of his fake hands. Our hero then catches some zzzs in a warehouse next to a rave, and is booted out by the manager, played by Christina Applegate. She is later accosted by some thugs - not the same ones who cut off James' hands - and he comes to her rescue just as they pull a switchblade which lands squarely in the palm of one of the fake hands. This frightens the thugs, who wander off muttering that "that dude isn't real or something." Charmed by his heroics, but not his smell, Christina takes James home for a bath. She just happens to live in the same building as some techno-wizards, who create "cyberhands" for our poor disabled protagonist. Just like that he becomes the top handless techno music star in the country. The scene where he's reunited with his policeman dad is too precious, excruciating, and unbelievable to describe, as are the final moments of the film, which involve revenge against the first batch of thugs, and a cryptic nod of the head to dad that clearly signals, "those are the guys who cut off my hands." The acting is atrocious, the script is beyond ludicrous, and it's astonishing that anyone could keep a straight face while on screen.

    That said, in the spirit of PLAN 9, GLEN OR GLENDA, and others of that ilk, VIBRATIONS is a lot of fun.

    That and one of the comments on YouTube
    this clip is from the movie Vibrations. It came out in 1996 i think. I watched it on one of those ****ty premium channels a few months ago and ive had an erection ever since. Ive seen several doctors and specialists since then but none can seem to fix my rock hard erection. I implore you to see this masterpiece of film.

    Also known as Cyberstorm, which makes it a bit easier to find if you were in torrents of tears trying to find a website that Kicks Ass.

    But it's got a 90's Christina Applegate so it can't be a lost cause.

    Quiet night in work tonight so I watched it.
    My main thought, all the way through, was that I'm not paid enough to sit through this ****.
    YMMV

    In hindsight, I should have waited for some Sunday overtime. Double time might have just about covered it.

    There's a lot of angry people saying it's a fake. Not sure how that works but there you go.

    Pretty nondescript if you ask me. Might entice me to do me robodance at a wedding when I've ten pints in me but apart from that it's not going to be getting much love from me.

    It's certainly an ear worm. I can't stop humming it.

    I'm trying to think of a better pun than meals on wheels but I just couldn't bear to watch anymore. I hope other circus don't try to ape that routine.
