RE: usernames

<t> My name is Martin. I use Mart because when I sign up for a board, Martin is usually already taken. For some odd reason, I use mart on some boards, maybe as Mart was taken. When I first started going on forums, and got panicked by not being able to use my real name during the process of signing u...

RE: Richard Widmark died

<t> I remember him in Madigan (?). A film about about a New York cop. Played a very imperfect/unsympathetic character, but with great style. Was at a time when NYPD needed serious cleaning up. A sort of Dirty Harry, but with acting!<br/> <br/> I think that Frank Sinatra made a film at about the same...

RE: What music are you listening to now?

<t> Sorry Paul - I find David Gray gets boring very quickly.<br/> <br/> I like Calexico and Ryan Adams quite a bit. Actually, quite a lot of what we'd call Americana.

<t> Hi Morv (?) I know only a bit about newspapers in large countries like the US and Australia, but I do know that there is this syndication thing where people get the national and internatuional news from "local" newspapers, who in turn get it from a larger source. This can make it hard to know wh...

RE: Why does Oscar Pistorius have the IAAF running scared?

<t> I think the IAAF made the right decision, though I think you make a pretty valid point JAMiAM in the sense that the Paralympics do seem to get rated as a sort of 2nd grade olympics, which can't be right. I also think it's a terrible shame that because of some reprehensible behaviour by at least ...
