  1. Up until these latest eruptions, the prevailing scientific thought has been that there are 4 volcanic systems under Reykjanes peninsula, the revised opinion by some now is that it is in fact just 1 system, or at the very least all 4 interconnected. A new eruption is now expected at any time, the magma chamber under Svartsengi has exceeded 9 million cubic meters in magma volume. It will come up somewhere close to the last one. Lots of quakes all over the peninsula and some in the sea and there is serious talk of the Reykjavík area being in considerable danger of lava flow in the near future, some scientists want protective walls being piled up sooner rather than later. Much of the newer neighborhoods have unwisely been built over old lava fields. Grindavík is finished, the town is torn apart. Former inhabitants have been collecting their belongings from their houses in groups, each group having only 6 hours to clear everything out. The weather has been really bad, delaying these actions, for roads have been snowed over. It is like the townspeople have a curse on them, nothing goes their way. There was hope that the sports arena had not been badly damaged, but then some sagging on the floor covering was noticed...

  2. Disappointing, was impressed with Jeffcott the few times I've seen him play. Wasn't open for a doable permanent deal is what I would guess.
  3. Excellent news, that should stop all moaning for a couple of days
  4. It's much cheaper to rebuild when players have left at no cost obviously. The days of paying up players contracts are gone hopefully.
  5. On the other hand, if we do go up this season, short contracts on players not quite at Championship level is a good thing.
  6. Warne has one job, to get us out of this league. It doesn't have to be pretty.
  7. The Pizza Triangle, 1970 Italian production, an absurd romantic tragicomedy as only Italy could produce. Wonderful, melodramatic, hysterical, passionate, confusing and hilarious. A woman falls for a man and his blowfly, until suddenly there appears a heart shaped pizza and it's oft spitting baker culminating some months later.. I just love Italian weirdness, it is so honest in it's cruelty and passion. Not for everyone, but if you've got an odd streak in ya, give it a try. Worth it for Marcello Mastroianni's weird looking head close ups alone. 7.5 on the bizarre Richter
  8. This is great news for the club, much needed money coming in and player available until end of season.
  9. The Killer on Netflix. Warning, spoilers ahead. To think that people place good money for a crappy script is beyond me. It' s understandable that a decent actor would take the job, for exposure, but it's not indicative of a discerning choosy mind, or ambition for that matter. Cinematically it's not bad, there is a nice realistic fight scene in it, but that's the only thing good about this film. The main character is poorly developed, he claims to not give a duck, yet has a woman he cares about, a weakness in his profession and this woman has a brother in the know as well, another weakness. His philosophy of life and the universe is absurd, even for a psycho. He knows all technical solutions to a problem, has multiple aliases, can get into any space, yet believes in an endless void out there and no consequences for wickedness. Now, what annoys me most. When a man in the back seat of a car pulls a gun on a driver, the driver cannot do as the man orders, he must increase speed and stay in traffic, or he is a dead man, under no circumstances will he pull into a secluded lot and park there. His only hope is keeping some control of the situation, crashing the vehicle if need be, or preferably dealing with the killer to jump out at speed at a corner so as both don't have to die that day. A killer sits across from you in a fine restaurant pointing a gun under the table. The waiter sees that man, as do the assistants clearing the table. One must not leave with this man, if he kills you, there are witnesses he must also dispose of, creating a messy risky scene for the killer. I could bore you with more, but won't. 4.5, if not for the fight scene, a 3.
  10. Murder On The Orient Express. Have seen all the versions, this one is disappointing, stylish but lacking. Great actors there, some with minimal roles, others should have had minimal roles instead, but one was rightly given lots of scenes, the fantastic Michelle Pfeiffer who drags this film all by herself up from a 5 rating to a 6.5.
  11. Robinson, Weston and Bartley standouts so far for me. Hawkins needs to find his space in midfield. Missing Jeffcott, injured I suppose?
  12. Our midfield is nonexistent, Collins is no goalscorer, just gets lucky often, Bird hides all game long, Warne is not fit for Sunday league, we won in spite of our players. Am I doing this right?
