It's only been one episode so far but Bad Education on BBC3 was funny, and Sean Bean as a transvestite in The Accused was amazing. -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 07:46 7
- Have you seen Copper? Anyone else? I'm interested but there's so much on Sunday nights. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:48 6
  - I don't think it's scheduled to be broadcast in the UK yet, at least I haven't seen any indication it's in the upcoming Autumn season on 1 or 2. -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 07:53
  - I DVR'd it too. -- nm - Stephen Aug 20, 07:51
  - I have it DVRed, haven't watched it yet -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 07:48 3
    - I DVRed because I heard they were going to show a Who preview last night. -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 08:00 1

    - we did this too. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 20, 07:49
For anyone interested...here's the Survivor 25 cast (minus the returning players) -- (link) - Jim Aug 20, 07:34 [Image] 11
- The rice just wasn't enough --- and there used to be 18 in this photo initially. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 07:36 1
  - Yeah...Russ Sawn, Jonathan Penner and Mike Skupin are missing from this shot. -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 07:37
- wheres the old people? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 07:35 8
  - Maybe they're counting Blair and Kent as old. *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 07:36 7
    - just from the photo, I can tell who the douchenozzle is. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 07:37 6
      - Jeff Kent? heheh -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 07:38 5
        
        He looks soft now.....guess he's off the roids for good. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 07:42
        
        no. I have always liked him, so I will watch just for that. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 07:39 3
        
        The blonde kid in back looks to be the one...but from what I understand, he's a pretty normal dude. - Jim Aug 20, 07:41 2
        
        the dude with the fauxhawk? - groiny Aug 20, 07:42 1

so was Shoppach traded to the Mets because he wrote and sent the text? (from A. Gone's phone) - Diva Aug 20, 07:28 24
- [deleted] 20
  - Given the way the Red Sox have done business for the past 12 months, I absolutely believe they would trade a guy who plotted against the manager. - David Aug 20, 07:51 1
    - Ya know, the real question here is "Why is Bobby V so bad at managing a bullpen that he had no choice to do this?" - Will Hunting Aug 20, 08:04
  - Yup. Unless Gonzalez' English is so bad that he could write what he really wanted to say and let Shopach do it for him. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:49 13
    - *couldn't* -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:49 12

        Manny grew up in Washington Heights. - Mel Profit Aug 20, 07:53 10
        
        Manny was a big faker. His English was fine. I don't know Gonzalez and I wasn't sure if he was born here. - Krusty Aug 20, 08:00 4
        
        You might be right. That's probably something Manny would do. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 20, 08:01 3
        
        He went to public school in NYC. He didn't graduate H.S. but I'm sure he spoke English just fine. - Krusty Aug 20, 08:03
        
        they all do that shit. - groiny Aug 20, 08:02 1
        
        Yup. I was about to bring up Sosa losing his ability to speak English. - Krusty Aug 20, 08:06
        
        I know but Adrian's English doesn't sound heavily accented or labored at all. - Diva Aug 20, 07:55 4
        
        I don't know what's more of a dirty dirty dress. The Sawx or the story for the latest Bourne movie. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 20, 07:57 2
        
        "Where are the chems?!!" -- nm - Diva Aug 20, 07:58 1

      - I have no clue on his conversational abilities. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 07:49
      - what amuses me is thinking of this happening on a Football team. Any football team but especially the Pats. - Mel Profit Aug 20, 07:48
- I doubt they ship a dude out, if he could play, for that. - Mel Profit Aug 20, 07:31 2

    - I don't think you should let me into the suite for awhile... - Mel Profit Aug 20, 07:37
