That was lovely Barb. I think it's so important that pics really capture the people they are of and what they are feeling. I did this couple's wedding too, and that was a wonderful..if terrifying..experience. Thank heavens they loved the pics..tricky if they hadn't!

I thought the pics that Anji and Michael had done were quite wonderful too. Awesome even!

I've got to do another wedding in June. Must start reading the 'how to' manuals again. It's always the lighting that's the tricky bit.

:-)

I did the photo's for a wedding in a castle, the lighting through the "windows" was awful, good job I'd made them have a dry run and showed them where they could and couldn't have photo's taken!!

I'll dig out the book I bought on photographing weddings and post title and author, worked a treat for me.

It's so STRESSFUL isn't it M?! I have nightmares about light when a wedding's in the offing. I won't get a chance to have a dry run for this one either. it's miles away. Send me that title purlease!:-)

You didn't like it that's fine, don't expect people to like it.
It would be a boring place if we all like the same thing.

Personally I like this Val Kilmer movie and he's gorgeous in it so there :lol:.

Seem to be buying alot of papers recently one way or another, last two weeks it was to get the DVD's from The Daily Mail, Saturday it was Daily Express as it had an artical on Agnetha and Anni-Frid from ABBA and yesterday was Sunday Mirror as it had a massive artical on Patrick Swayze and looks like I'll be getting The Daily Telegraph later as there is an artical about shows in the West End with a great pic of Michael and Leanne in Hairspray :cool:.

It's a bit crazy :nuts: I know but hey.
Going to get ready in a bit and start doing the things that need to be done, like I need to do some washing etc...

I have an annoying song running through my head. Think it's called "Ramblin' Rose."

I'm glad I don't like the same things as you, otherwise I'd be worried. :devil:

Interesting Val Kilmer was nominated for a Razzie for worst actor for this film and has been nominated for a Razzie as worst supporting actor another 2 times.


Pud :twisted:

Maybe so.....but he's hot (well was).....which makes crap films always worth watching! :cool:

I never got his "hotness" somehow...

I don't get how having someone "hot" in a movie makes it worth sitting through 2 hours of shite.

Dave

*Sigh*

If I admit that you're right...that will make me less than a woman...lol...so I will just keep my mouth shut...

They've got to be superheated...but then any dross is worth it!:D

He's about as hot as a cold bag of chips and mushy peas with a face to match :))

Pud :twisted:

Dave,
When you have a good looking guy/girl depending on your sex to look at you tend to ignore all the crap bits as your caught up watching said person.
And Pud, I know what your trying to do and it won't work, been a solid fan of his for 18-years now so I think I'll still like him no matter what you say.
In my eyes he's still incredibly gorgeous, so there :hand::raspberry: !!

I doubt Tombstone was one of them

Er, no, might work for you but doesn't work for me. If the movie is too boring to keep my attention then no amount of eye candy will keep my eyes open.

Dave

Are you sure you're a woman? ;-) :lol:

Fair enough ;).

I just wrote 10 different replies...all equally witless...that's why I am not posting them...but if judged by this site standards...NO

the 11th would've been the best

:twisted: I'm with the other guys here.

A good actor in a leading role goes quite a way in persuading someone to watch the movie in the first place, but if the movie is crap, no eye candy is going to make the film any better.

Val Kilmer is 90's hothttp://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...val_kilmer.jpg


But yeah hot guys getting half naked, fighting or just sweating makes any film worth watching......and it would be just the same for the guys if it was girls ;)

there are very few exceptions, I suppose it depends on moods...i mean i like watching switch off the brain action stuff, for exactly that reason it's a distraction and sometimes you'll watch films you know are probably going to be crap but you lose yourself in them.

Then there's other that you will just really want to see for the performances, actor, director, script etc.

You have no idea what I'm trying to do, because I'm not trying to do anything. I don't like like Val Kilmer and you've thrown your toys out of the cot, spat the dummy out and given the teddy a good beating.

Teenagers who struggle to live in reality go all gooey over a movie star or pop star, how old are you? If you're still a teenager I apologise, let kids be kids is what I say.

Pud :twisted:

Wouldn't do anything for me cause not really a woman...but I do have to agree that Pamela Anderson IS famous and well known for something...something which can't be defined as acting on any level of imagination and/or fantasy...

Haha exactly.


See I wouldn't watch films purely for hot guys, I have more intellegence to me than that. But there's nothing wrong with a bit of a perv-a-thon :p

Thanks for that :heart: :drool: :faint: :heart:.

OK I may have missed the point and I appologise.

If a man said that there'd be uproar:evil:


Much the same as when a guy visits a strip club, it's morally wrong, but when a woman goes to a male strip show it's a bit of fun...

:twisted: Go for it dude :mrgreen:

Not in my books, it ain't...knock yourself silly...oh right...I ain't no woman...

Well I wouldn't be so happy to "girl perv" if I didn't think it was ok for guys too. I don't care, we're only human, why can't we enjoy good looking people? Not like we see many of them in our real lives. lol So if girls say to you it's horrible to perv then she's just boring and small minded.

Amen!!! CHSIB hon!!! :up:

Hear hear Heli and Betty..
tried to quote you both...but the stupid gene interfered again!

The day is starting well. A promise made has just been kept. Mind you, threatening not to pay until your car is fixed tends to motivate.

It always helps to have some leverage!

Really wish I had more artistic talent, I can see what I want to draw (tattoo idea) in my head but just can't translate it to paper!

Was a lot less stressful when Mum was in hospital... :oops:
Ah well, no I´m glad she´s back lol

Oh hon is she ok? Are you ok? Give her my love

Must be catching my step father is in hospital after having a minor heart attack and now he's got to have a pacemaker!!

Hope your mum's Ok Sabrina ... and your step father Emma

Thanks hon X

169 new posts since last night ... feels like most of them were in this thread!

After I found myself doing that a few times, I no longer have separate work/home diaries. They're the same thing (also saves money coz work pay for the work diary. hehe!)

I think it's a perfect present! The father looks so proud and it includes the mother too - and she looks happy. I am sure he (and she!) will love it - and baby would love it to when he is older!

I'd be interested in the book details too...

It doesn't make the film any better no...it just makes it bearable. Though if it was merely on the TV, I wouldn't stay watching rubbish purely for 'eye candy'...but if I'd gone to the cinema with a friend, say...watching the 'eye candy' would give me something to do whilst waiting for it to finish.

oh and...builder should be coming on Wednesday to fix a few problems with my house :cheer:

She´s on the mend, thank you hon!
The weekend was a killer really. Quite scary driving behind that ambulance that takes your Mum to the hospital.

How´s your stepfather and how´s your Mum dealing with the whole thing??

This new year just started too good, there was something bad bound to happen, wasnt it?

Thank you Angela, means a lot!!

Mum's taking the opportunity to go through the house and clear out stuff that if she tried to get rid of when Rhon was there he would make a fuss about it lol!! She's also having a good rest and sleeping more without the snoring!!

A kick to the testicles or the threat of ripping their knackers out of their socket usually motivates the person that needs motivating..

Pud :twisted:

Oh my dear lord...pretty depressing thoughts all around...

Betty and Em...hope you guys are ok...write me a few words as to what is going on...

Not around much cause life here is...slightly sad...let's just put it this way...

Reganomics finally work...we do get trickle down effect...except it's trickling acid rain instead of gold...

hows that possible???? youve got Obama now! :yep:

I'm going off January..Betty and Sam Cat have poorly parents..and all that stress and worry. Zina has Reganomics whic h really hurts..and my daughter has the vomits and today is cancelled for me. Again.
On the bright side, Helen did some virtuoso multi posting a few posts up.Respect!

agree Caroline,Jan has not been good,still its nearly over,Emma and Betty hope your mum and step dad will be on the mend real soon and caroline hope your daughter does not feel ill for too long,
i for one will definately be glad to see february this year

Don't forget that title M. I've only got til June!!

I agree with you, I just hate the hypocrisy. I think it can be something to suit everyone in that regard.

Yeah there is sleaze to it,l but then again there's sleaze to a hell of a lot of things, which doesn't make it right but still.

Yeah but if it's THERE surely it would be a waste not to look??

Like it would have been a waste of the creme egg my boss bought me yesterday if i'd been healthy and not eaten it!! (we were having an 'argh!' afternoon - they were medicinal!)

Wonder if Morrison's sells pockets for files... Might be easier to go into town *groan*. So annoying, decided to sort out my Val articals and have run out of pockets, that's typical :roll:.

Or as I have a day off tomorrow I will have more time to look around which seems like a better option. Finally got around to watching Spartan last night, I have had this in my possession now for awhile but haven't actually had a chance to watch it and I absolutely love it, Val is in pratically every single scene from start to finish :heart:.

I should get dressed... Then eat lol !

Really don't think i could not eat a creme egg. Does anyone think they are smaller than they used to be..or am i just bigger..?

for one horrible moment, my tired eyes/head thought that said pockets for FLIES :shock::?

smaller. definately smaller.

a lot of chocolate confectionery seems smaller nowadays.

i'd give an example but the healthy part of my brain is blocking access to 'details of chocolate' at the moment.

I'll give you an example then...as i don't have a healthy section of brain...Caramacs have shrunk to virtual invisibility..but the price hasn't!

fog

We got Obama...not a magician...geez

Same here...

I think I will fall in love with some movie star and just day dream about him all day long...maybe that'll help...

if it does, please tell me. i could use all the help i can get (and all the help that i can't get too...ho ho ho. sorry)

same difference though right?? ;):twisted:

Oh crap look at the time.. Hair and teeth still need to be done !!

Bye bye

I think...I should get back to work

before that though...car passed MOT! :cheer:

congrats! Mine's having its major service next week. I fear the bill, i really do! Doesn't help that i keep forgetting the services...so when i do remember they are humungously expensive.

Can't expect the man to fix what was destroyed in 8 years...you should know...lol...

Oh let's just pick a celebrity and go for it...

what you mean is you SHOULDNT expect that...it seems like many people do...

that's what hope is...lot of responsibility on his shoulders but i think he'll make good decisions

He is already making some very very good decisions...but we can't expect miracles here...

Far as I know he can't walk on water...

Well, I just got a pay cut...on the bright side...at least I still have a job...for now...

Oh dear, oh dear....though you are right..a worse paid job is better than none. The economic climate here in the UK is horrible too. My husb is a solicitor and he had to wait for hours in court on monday because there were so many house re-possession hearings to be got through. It seemed ironic to me that the banks who got tied up with dodgy lending are now pulling the rug from under the feet of householders who can't pay their bills because of the results of all that dodgy lending...:(

Not nice!!

I am sorry but I have to disagree with mortgage lending victims...I would never borrow money knowing I couldn't pay it back...I wouldn't buy 800,000 house when I make 50,000 a year...and that's what many people did...banks can fool you from here to there...but you have to have some understanding of what you're doing before doing it...

A lot of things happened...currency fell and prices went up...when currency is doing better...somehow prices stay the same high...gas was very high...so everybody jumped in with surcharges and charging for every suitcase and trip and nonsense like this...when gas goes down...these things will stay the same unless fought...so...yeah...although things will get better...for many they just won't...I am sorry for blubbling...I am a bit upset...

Nice is not figuring here...could have been worse and probably will be worse pretty soon...I work with numbers...I know...

:-( & :-)

pay cut sucks...well done for looking for a bright side...which obviously is there in the benefit of some job (always better than no job) but pay cuts aren't ever easy to take regardless of what your circumstances are...I really hope it doesn't affect you & your family too greatly xx

Whoever didn't get a pay cut got fired...so...it's hard not to see THAT side...

Thank you for good wishes...I just want to go home right now...wish they did it at night or something...

I can understand that, they told us we wouldn't be getting a bonus for the last quarter and also no pay rise at all this year, after we were promised an increase for transferring to the claims department.

There is no talk about pay increase...pay cut put me far below the last pay increase I've had anyway almost 2 years ago...

All this reminds me of the time when husb and i couldn't pay the mortgage despite both working full time and having foreign students staying too. That was because mortgage interest rates doubled over night in 1992. I know the situation now is different and even more serious, but i'll never forget the fear that there was nothing we could do to avoid repossession.

I wouldn't go for adjustable mortgage even back when...I was offered great deal and I took worse deal but fixed mortgage...

In those days we couldn't get a fixed rate mortgage. I got a 5 yr fixed one from about 2000 though....and neatly paid way over the odds for the entire term. sigh!

That's bad news Zina ... hope things get better soon

*sigh* it really isn't normal to have a cold/something similar four times in as many months is it?

My mother would tell you to drink lots of water and take vitamin C!

Hope you recover quickly and don't get any more for a long long while!

Thanks Helen. I usually drink 1-2 litres of water a day and take echinacea/vitamin supplements but my immune system appears to be broken... Ah well, gives me an excuse to spend as much time as possible wrapped in my duvet recovering!

Thanks, Angela...

I am a realist though and expect it to get a whole lot worse before it gets better...

Definitely! And to get people to wait on you. And to eat chocolate (probably doesn't help in the slightest, just tastes good! ;))

Well, just called our payroll into the processing company...they are telling me they have this pay cutting business from a lot of clients...on Monday this particular customer service person talked to somebody with 100 people pay cut...

One of our contracts at work reissued, half the support hours, 30+ redundancies

Things are tough all over...

We'll be taking on new staff in March if that's any help. Don't suppose it is since I live in Blackpool, sorry :/

Watched an interview with Val last night for Felon which he also talked about several other films too and Heath Ledger but as much as I love this guy he was a bit of a goof telling everyone that he dies and so will not be in the sequal... Thanks babs, is there any need to watch this now :roll: :bleh: :shock: LMFAO !!

Am hungry. Need to sort out my room but I keep getting distracted though I have managed to change my bed clothes :cool:.

Well, Val didn't really die...he has just pretended to die...so I think it's safe???

I'm worried I'm cheating on you all...I've spent half the evening on a DIY forum! Argh! ;)

Actually...it might come handy...you will know how to hammer and fix tools...

Yeah...to be honest, I'm MORE worried that I find it interesting!

It IS interesting...no worries...

##^$&#($)%*$&$%%*%(^(*$&#^%&%&%&$
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

So, off my chest now...

Errrm....Ankie, are you ok??
