British rapper, Derek B dies at 44 of a suspected heart attack. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8363336.stm

That's not entirely true. There is no denying that the iPhone is one of the most popular smart Phones on the market today, but then the same can be said about XFactor, Firefox and wearing jeans below the hips in their respective arenas, yet I don’t follow any of these trends either. The...

Not forgetting the Shell Suits and cigars :P

No sign of his death then, I should imagine that he would be a big enough celebrity to warrant a mention when his 82 year old clogs have finally popped. :P

US comedian Soupy Sales, who had some 20,000 pies thrown at him during a career spanning half a century, has died at the age of 83. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8321711.stm

3D films most certainly have changed. I still have one pair of 3D glasses in my 3rd Rock from the Sun box set, and the whole experience is horrid. I understand furies point about removing the ability to work out depth, but the same argument could be used against multichannel sound - jeez we only...

^ no he isn't. At least theres nothing on the BBC, 7 hours after your post.

I would like to be Uncle Remus from Song of the South, one of the best movies ever. I am old, fat and bald, it suit me to a tee.

If you are ever going to see a movie that has been hyped to the hilt, then it is a damned good idea to see it on the biggest screen in the UK, and in 3D. I found myself in London on Saturday night and so Seb, Peter and myself booked tickets at the BFI Imax at Waterloo to see the latest offering...

Strangely, I have just booked tickets for, "Up 3D (Digital, U) at BFI IMAX" So yeah Imax and 3D... how strange :P

Define examples Mike. I would suggest that someone who became Vice President of the World Football Federation, made countless television appearances might have a bit more claim to celebrity status than a dumb bimbo who manages 8 weeks on some reality show?

Former Scottish Football Association president and Fifa vice-president David Will has died of cancer, aged 72 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/footbal ... 274443.stm

Another few films bought on Blu Ray this week. The Last Samurai is essentially about the last days of the Samurai warriors in Japan. Unfortunately Tom Cruse turns up from Hollywood and takes over. That said, he actually does a pretty good job. The real star for me is Ken Watanabe as the...

Agreed. Any Risk Assesment will look to minimise ANY risk. In this case, it was a double header, in that the track developed a fault, plus the human error. Installation of CCTV was a no brainer, but is only an aid to the operator, it won't eliminate human error, and therefore won't be the...

Bill Speirs, one of the giants of Scotland's trade union movement, has died peacefully at the age of 57, following a long illness. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8270690.stm

good

I didn't think it was that bad ... but then I rode the Pax Drop Tower first :O Now that WILL kill someone.

I have to agree with furie, mine is probably not what you want, because it does have way more features and power than you are ever going to need in a bedroom. My trouble is that I am now on my third AV amplifier and so, like furie, know exactly what I am looking for. The only reason I...

It is a pretty long learning curve, but well worth it :P

5.1 and 7.1 refers to the number of speakers. 5.1 is 2 front, 1 centre, 2 rear and a Subwoofer (the .1 bit) 7.1 is 2 front, one centre, 2 side, 2 rear and a Subwoofer. In reality 5.1 is great, and all I actually use. beware though, as furie says, many shops are selling 2.1 systems...
