I stuck Lin on to win the Hong Kong Open yesterday on the final round at 8-1. Just a couple of quid but it'll keep my quid bets going for a few weeks.

The Shins - ''New Slang''

Burn after reading 7.5/10 Pretty funny storyline. Pitt, McDormand, Clooney, Malkovic and Jenkings are all pretty fantastic in this and I quite enjoyed, clever at stages and a few laugh out loud moments but def's not the Coen's best film

Mates of State Goods amazing song

Not won on the football for a while but did alright out of the US Elections, Obama to win Indiana (11/8) but waiting on 2 results. I've got Obama on to win between 350-369 electoral votes (3/1) and McCain to win Missouri(11/8). Obama is currently on 364 and there is one state left to declare and yes that state is Missouri which according to the BBC has McCain in the lead by a few thousand votes.

Limited cooking skills....

I think I can speak for these people, this is the stage where you are unsure if the night should continue or you should go home, the extra 30mins is a discussion if late pubs,student unions,nightclubs,casinos,kebabs should be the next visit. We are sorry to all bar staff and we should make up our minds before midnight instead of mulling it over

In The Land of Women - 6/10 Quite good, nice soundtrack and a decent real life type ending. Basically about a 26year old writer who breaks up with his actress girlfriend in LA who moves to Michigan to stay with his grandmother for a few weeks, to help care for her and to write a book, He ends up meeting the family next across the road and hangs around a bit with them. The Game of Their Lives - 5/10 Not bad, nothing stand out-ish and and some classic comic lines in but better than the pish that's on tv on a relaxing sunday evening. Reminded me of a Channel 5, that you can just fall in and out of or the type of film that would be excellent on a flight. Story of the 1950 US World Cup team who beat England 1-0 in Brazil and how they came together to represent the US.

Always quite enjoyed watching this when I've caught it on tv. A complete novice to the game but the 6 tackle rule certainly makes it exciting, I might go bone up on the rules for this World Cup. Is a tv network covering this live? How good are Ireland, Scotland and France? Are we looking at getting humped in these 2 games against Fiji and France? e.g San Marino v Croatia or is it more San Marino v Andorra in football terms?

Lars & The Real Girl, 8.5/10.

Only ones I can think of is Emmanuel Panther (ex jags, super j's), Iwelumo and Harper.

I'm pretty much in the same boat, I seem to putt better when I don't bother reading them, just go with a wee look at the turf then pop - sometimes even go in but when I am 20 yards out or so, I always end up thinking too much about them either hitting too soft or too hard, usually too soft.

flower of scotland -accoustic by the corries - mucho more beautiful than the pipes over the top version

Up late as well, I've got Juno on the comp still to watch or go to bed - decisions. Go on xbl, spill the beans.

22k that's an awful lot of boozers in the brothic for a population. Sure she understood, all the best in the return leg with your lassie pal,

unlucky bud, how do you tink it will go? i hope it works out with her... but bad news about the poo's amazing how this thread is turning out to be the most sincere one.. my night was good anyone know the pop of abroath? xbl? 56 pubs seems alot for a place like arbroath.

What's the population of Arbroath? They've got about 56 pubs or so.

The Kite Runner 8/10 it left a few wee bits out from the book but it was brilliant The Hoax 7/10 - wasn't sure what to expect but enjoyed it, all about Clifford Irving's hoax

cath - death cab for cutie.

The National - Green Gloves

would love to see The National but they are only playing Birmingham, Leeds, Manc and Belfast so dunno if I can afford it. It'll probably be Sun Kil Moon/Mark Kozelek in september in glasgow.

Band Of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You

The Go! Team - Huddle formation Sounds identical to an old Bellatrix song if anyone remembers them, even stars with the 1,2,3,4

Sufjan Stevens 'Come on! Feel The Illinoise'

The National - All the wine.
