An item on the news tells me that footballer Wayne Rooney now has a child who will be called Kai.
Sorry Kai.

Ralph Gillions

I don't mean the films are "arty-smarty".
I mean I suspect the film-makers think they are arty-smarty.
A touch of pretentiousness.

Derek Hazell wrote:Obviously all credit-squeezing and other disrespectful crap on TV as well.

Ah yes! The squeezing so that it cannot be read, while a voice-over does a trail for another programme.
I hate it.

Ralph Gillions

Films where the opening credits are either very slow or delayed, to the extent that they are only completed 15/20 minutes into the film.
Too arty-smarty for me.

Ralph Gillions

Long hair tossers.
Or should that be long-haired tossers.
No perhaps it should be people with long hair who toss it all the time and can't keep their hands off it.

Too much use of the word "like".

The increase in the number of people who drop the letter T.

I'm not a fan.
She comes across (to me) as hard and not a warm person (reflected in her writing too.)

Ralph Gillions

Ah! Jason, you obviously know more about Coronation Street than I know.
(I must avoid Mylanta.)

Ralph Gillions

Jason, Did you say "cockneys"? Sorry to say this, but I think you may need to think again. I don't watch these programmes but you are more likely to find cockneys in London (in Eastenders.) Whereas the people in Coronation Street are from somewhere in the county of Lancashire. You may need...

rest is history.

Ralph Gillions

I admire the passion in your message Jason. Thank you.

Ralph Gillions

Well done Andrew.
I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you do well.

No, I'm not suggesting that.

Ralph Gillions

Did they serve free drinks to the audience or something? Most of the stuff they're laughing at even Dudley wouldn't bother with normally. It's a bit surreal. Yea, I too thought it sounded forced. There has been a recent tendency towards pretend-laughter, which tends to result in the viewer laughing...

Ralph Gillions

Love your poem Alec.

Ralph Gillions

Happy birthday Phil.

Ralph Gillions

A very happy birthday to Oliver Garner (15), Katherine Birkett (32), and Mike Brailsford (38).

Ralph Gillions

Happy birthday Tyron.

You'll have to fight Ralph for him.

Oh dear, is it so obvious?

(My intentions are almost entirely honourable.)

Jeffrey Burgin wrote: I preferred to approach the game with a 'enjoy it while you can and try not to come across as a knob' attitude ...

You succeeded.

Ralph Gillions

Congratulations Jeffrey.
A splendid run. It has been a treat.
I liked the nice words from Colin Murray too.
Thanks for the pleasure.

Ralph Gillions

Ok Charlie. You're right (this time.)

I did say "as an entertaining contestant" though.
I hope my reputation can be repaired.

Ralph Gillions

Oh dear. All this use of the word "worst".
And there was me thinking that as an entertaining contestant he is one of the best.

Ralph Gillions

Dearie me.

Ralph Gillions

The only other Kai I have heard of is Kai Winding, the Danish trombone player (damn goods he was too.)

Ralph Gillions

Well done Jeffrey on another smilingly entertaining performance.

Ok Jason. That's fine.

Ralph Gillions

As the thread is clearled marked "Birthdays", would it not be easy to avoid it by those who do not approve?
Just a thought.
*friendly smile*

Ralph Gillions

Another entertaining performance Jeffrey.
Well done!

Ralph Gillions

?
Hope you had a good day Jason.

Sue.

Nicely said Julie.

Tense.
After the conundrum, I wasn't sure if that look on your face was one of ecstasy or relief.
This is very wearing, (and a little bit sore.)
Well done Jeff.

Ralph Gillions

Happy birthday Jason.

Ralph Gillions

Is there a particular reason why the editing during the clock countdown
lasts exactly 8 ticks for each shot?
Contest A, contestant B, long shot, etc..all for 8 ticks of the clock.
Has anybody considered doing it differently?

Ralph Gillions

I agree about the smiling Matt.

Ralph Gillions

[quote="Jeffrey Burgin"]...the tension was so buttock-clenchingly tight...[quote]
Oh dear, you've set me off again.
I found it orgasmic today.

I enjoyed it Jeffrey and Darren. Well done on a good match

Ralph Gillions

Love the smiling picture Phil.
He must be persuaded to appear on the calendar.
Remember the nice hug between Jon Corby and Charlie Reams at the end of their match?
I think that would be nice done naked.
There! We have 2 months done already.

Ralph Gillions

Sue Sanders wrote:Do you think there's a market for a 'C4C' pin-ups calendar?

Definitely.
Naked.

Ralph Gillions

Well done both Bob and Jeff.
Great run from you Bob - hope we see you again.
Congratulations Jeff. A splendid game.
And 2 lovely smilers.
Thanks

I was looking at the UK TV Guide, and I noticed that The Weakest Link has changed time slots. ....Is this a permanent change? Jason, it seems it has been moved for one week only to make way for a 5-part drama. The schedules I have seen on the BBC website show it back at it's usual time of 17.15 nex...

Ralph Gillions

I got it too Phil.
But, honestly, it's not your best.

Ralph Gillions

How about reassuring new players that when the occasional crash causes game windows to freeze or close, they need not be overly concerned. The perceived obligation to adopt an air of profound guilt and responsibility for the momentary quiescence (not to mention the resultant cold sweat and profuse ...

It depends who is on at the time.

It`s not a problem.
Posters on here can be assured that somebody will come along and correct their work.
Such a comfort.

Jason Larsen wrote:What does drinking beer have to do with the BBC?

I think there is some confusion here Jason.
I don't see any reference to beer.
The thread title is "Banned from the BEEB" (not "Beer")
"Beeb" is a nickname for the BBC.

Thanks for that Kieran. I enjoyed it. I like the mood(s) you created and it was played with nice feeling.
Good work.

Ralph Gillions

How odd!
Deal or No Deal could be completed in 15-20 minutes without the padding.

Ralph Gillions

ball technique. Amazingly

Ralph Gillions

Nobody would influence me.
I don't like the programme.

Yes, indeed you are great.

Ralph Gillions

Anything seen "in the flesh" so to speak is likely to have a different effect on the observer than watching it on television. Live theatre has an emotional impact and uplift which is rarely obtained from tv (if the show is good that is.) Horse racing on tv does not convey the atmosphere as...
