quote

But you know what amazes me, too—that there are people from back home that I grew up with who have nothing, who are on the bones of their arses, no better way to put it, and they have nothing but pride. These people would never betray you or speak to the media. Then you meet people of another class who would happily fuck you over.

Which group is classier? Cheryl Cole, speaking with Barbara Ellen in The Observer

Will Smith and Gary Barlow Do The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Rap

Take That, Fresh Prince I already like Will Smith. Gary Barlow’s stock just went up in my book.

Illya Kuryakin meets Purdey Love this series, though as a kid it freaked me out. The last link cited below makes for interesting reading.

aconitum-napellus:

Sapphire and Steel. Joanna Lumley and David McCallum. 1979-1982.

‘All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension. Transuranic, heavy elements may not be used where there is life. Medium atomic weights are available: Gold, Lead, Copper…Jet, Diamond, Radium, Sapphire, Silver and Steel. Sapphire and Steel, have been assigned.’

Who cares that Sapphire and Steel aren’t elements? It was an awesome, terrifying series.

The New Avengers in French I always prefer it when the producers of the original take the time to produce titles for export, ensuring that the typography matches. But did Jo Lumley wear bottes de cuir that often?

You get the feeling they aren’t speaking to each other here.

Escorts Unlimited This is ‘Blind Run’. The lads are just being alert, especially with so many villains driving cars from the Ford press fleet.
