Sky will lose out with this firing. Grey was a class act at the job, not a class act with female co workers.Richard Keys Fat sam and Charlotte whoever won't replace him.
They could always bring back Big Ron.

Bad news all round, but did anyone else notice the chap with his trolley in the aftermath just strolling through without a bother on him in the aftermath looking for the foreign exchange bureau or something else. Just an observation from the news and youtube clips.

Watched Black Swan tonight. What a mind f**k that was. The trailer tells you nothing about this movie. It has to be watched as an experience. I dpn't quite know how to rate it.

8 out of 10 for originality and intrigue.

The English football commentators are an insular bunch. I remember watching a game in the company of some Americans and the commentator called one of the players "The Brazilian", nothing else, that is good enough for him and one of the American women started laughing at this. We have got used to this type of thing but it doesn't really make any sense.

Munster don't need any pity, they have had a great run in the Heineken Cup and it had to come to an end eventually. They will be back some day although they do need more young talent to come through. I was surprised to see them not really put up a big fight yesterday, a bad sign?

The Steelers will win it. Sanchez isn't good enough at QB for the Jets the Pats have at times the worst pass defense in the NFL wheras the Jets have just about the best pass defense when they are in the mood that was the big difference last night.

The grand canyon is surely more impressive than Milford Sound. I was at Milford Sound on a misty cloudy day and haven't been to the grand Canyons. Milford Sound has some nice sea scenery but the Grand Canyon is unique, a mile deep or something like that. It is surely worth a watch.

There is a Michaela Harte thread on the gaa discussion board, maybe there should be one in general discussion as well or more appropriate in that forum. It is no longer really a part of death notices, things have moved on from that unfortunately.

"Season of the Witch" is an entertaining yarn for fans of the sword fighting, deomon exorcisiing, witch hunting, plague infestated, road trip movie genre out there.

7.5 out of 10.

I saw 127 hours last night, i thought it was pretty average to be honest. Danny Boyle gave it socks but it is hard to make a good movie out of such a limited scenario. You already know the ending, and the story is limited to that boulder.

6.5 out of 10

Better movies with similar themes are "Buried" and "The Way Back"

The Way Back is a very good movie telling the story of Gulag prisoners in the old Soviet Union who try to escape by walking to Mongolia. Predictable in that you know how it will go but not dull ,it is entertaining, hard to fault this movie.

8.5  out of 10.

This character ids going bankrupt, sad to see. Everything he touched turned to gold except when he actually went into business for himself.
