studymonkey I think it is a difference of quality not a difference of kind. In other words they are ALL photos, but some are better photos than others. Also "Art" photos are consciously designed to be enganed with aesthetically whereas a holiday snapshot may not be. The...

studymonkey @studymonkey (13) 21 Apr 08

I enjoyed in the way one enjoys a schoold reunion - it is great to see all the familar faces again but it's not like it was. In the case of Back and forth it isn't funny any more. Makeing they knew thay had an eager audience who...

studymonkey That's the one. It was on Sky in the UK originally. I only know it because of the box set.

studymonkey The portugese team was obviously a lot weaker than most of the others but they made up for it with enthusiasism. I loved the celebration after the drop goal against the all blacks. You would have thought he had won the cup!

All Blacks - Mental Block?

losttourist @losttourist (11) 9 Apr 08

New Zealand has produced some of the finest players to ever grace a rugby pitch, yet they fail consistently on the biggest stage. 2007 the All Blacks conquered all before them and armed with the best number 10 in the world...

studymonkey I think they hadn't played enough crucnh games to know what to do in that situation. They didn't have anybody ready to drop a goal to win the game ugly if they needed to to! Bu these things happen in sport. That's what makes it interesting. Even the AB's can't...

studymonkey I do like both of them. But Family Guy seems a little but smarter a little bit funnier to me. But then Family came later and could use all the stuff the Simpsons and South Park had done before as a stepping stone to the stars.

Will IPL do any good to cricket?

figjam00 @figjam00 (1445) • India 16 Apr 08

In just couple of days new landmark in Indian Cricket will be established. IPL - INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE. I think IPL is just cashing in the Twenty20's thrill by adding bollywood to it. Lots of money's been on the line. But as of...

studymonkey I think IPL will be OK for cricket- it will raise more revenue than adding a few more pointless one-dayers. But I would be very sad to see any players banned for playing in the rival league - we want to see all the best players playing test cricket!

The importance of punctuation

Skyedame1 @Skyedame1 (18) 14 Apr 08

How important do you think punctuation is? I recently read a book in which one of the main characters kept in touch with her sister via email. The annoying thing was that the author, I assume in an attempt at 'authenticity',...

studymonkey Punctuation exists for a reason - it makes things readable! I hate reading things which are badly puctuated. I can put it up with it for a short poem (e e cummings anyone?) or txt msg but otherwise it annoys me. It would annoy me in a novel. Having said...

studymonkey I subscribe to Private Eye and Prospect (they are current affairs mags over here in the UK, nothing else!). I even buy the official binders and bind them up and put them on my shelf I'm that sad. Still it gets rather oppresive to have piles of magazines lying...

studymonkey Sledging has always been a part of cricket. It always will because cricket is a test of will and mental toughness as well as physical game. The key thing is to set boundaries and to make sure it all forgiven and forgotten off the field. Sledging can go too far...
