I really wasn't fond of QoS - maybe because Casino Royale was so good.

For what it's worth, I thought QoS was ****! Ideally I'd need to see it again though, just to make sure.

Love Craig as Bond though and Skyfall looks fairly class - my only problem is with trailers showing too much thesedays - the original teaser trailer for Skyfall was awesome - that's all I needed to see to be very excited about the movie!

I could not agree with that more. Take The Dark Knight Rises for example. I was quite underwhelmed by that. And I suspect part of the reason for that is because all the big moments were in the trailers and ads.

When the pitch collapsed, there was no "wow". It was just "oh look, it's this part that I've already seen three dozen times. So that's where it fits in."

Y'know what's awesome? A hot chicken roll for breakfast!

Agreed - QoS as a standalone movie isn't amazing - but it's not supposed to be a standalone - it is a direct continuation from CR (infact it starts 30 minutes after CR ends) - as one LONG movie - it is brilliant!

and even as a standalone movie - its better than f*cking Die Another Day

I disagree for reasons pointed out above - watch it in that order (if you have the time) and you will see what I mean!

Yeah i agree with this - nowadays trailers give away WAY too much - it's just getting annoying!

You have to be paying tax in that year to claim it back, so I don't think it would work for when you're in college.

I'm so sleepy today, getting out of bed was painful.

Technically I was paying tax if I was working 3days a week also plus working during the summer and so on...but if now how bad that's understandable,Can you claim back tax every year on the rent relief?

I'm tired out and kinda busy this morning! Will have to ring my landlord once again and start being an pain in order to get him to get our fridge sorted - two days a carton of milk lasted us this week, that's ridiculous!

If you were paying tax you can claim it back in Ireland. Generally students don't work enough to pay tax.

Thanks to Nec we'll all hopefully get tax back

Oh I know that - I haven't watched them back to back but even the characters and general build up of anticipation in CR was better I thought - the poker game for example was probably the most exciting bit of Bond I'd seen, Craig was brilliant in it.

But yeah agree completely on Die Another Day - hilarious movie!

I'll be going into HMV one of the days to buy the Avengers, I'll see if they have QoS on sale. Pretty sure I've CR lying around the place somewhere. With work quietening down I should have the time to watch the two back-to-back at some stage over the coming weeks.

Could not agree more!! and you know what? Now I am hungry!! DAMN YOU KEV!! :pac:

You could always get a hot chicken roll for lunch. Not the same though.

swapple · 20-09-2012 12:05PM

This day is flying by - I love it!!

Must do a Bond marathon before going to see Skyfall

Daisies · 20-09-2012 12:17PM

Two months in Africa today. Where did the time go? And I also feel like I've been here for AGES. Weird.

Mosquito season is starting in force, temperature goes up and so does my number of mosquito bites!:mad:

The PPS number would be a help but all you really need is the landlords name and address,that's all I had for one of the returns.

Pfft,

Newcastle V Norwich is clearly a more important fixture.

I just try to avoid trailers altogether these days. I remember I didn''t even think of going to see Green Zone since the trailer seemed to just be a summary of the whole movie, in order.

Nope, but nice to have one in case they're caught. Amateurs.

Of course you meant to say Donegal V Mayo.

So today I have to give two lectures totally 4 hours in total for which I am woefully unprepared. There is just TOO much to cover. I have a feeling that at some point today my worst (lecturing) nightmare will come true, that I'll be asked a question and just not be able to answer them!:(

Pembily · 21-09-2012 07:52AM

Best of luck Daisies, you'll be grand. I've every faith!

Morning all, happy Friday and pay day

Thanks. I love your unfounded faith in my abilities!

Pay day on Mon and I still don't have my bank card >:(

Pembily · 21-09-2012 08:34AM

You've the same in my abilities

Are you able to get to a bank?

Oh my freaking god it's freezing and I wore flipflops

D'Agger · 21-09-2012 08:46AM

Pay day is next Friday for me and it can't come quick enough - had to shell out for a filling at the dentist the other day - 24years I went without one!

Have physio tonight and nothing to do all weekend so hoping to catch up on study and do some reading/chilling.

Anybody up to anything strange or exciting?

grames_bond · 21-09-2012 09:53AM

Cake Cake Cake,
Cake Cake Cake,
It's Cake Friday,
It's Cake Friday!!
(sing to the tune of "shake yo booty)

NOM!!

How is everyone?
