Random talk thread: real good talking about random stuff n that

I'll concede that Crag is the best non-traditional bond ever...

Very big of you.

In that case I will concede that Connery was the best traditional Bond, silly as that Bond may be. Although I thought Brosnan was also very good.

Did everybody know that Lazenby is Australian? Pretty cool having an Aussie Bond.

 

[Stronzo]

Wasn't he only in one movie?

 

[estibador]

Yeah... so he probably wasn't very good.

Maybe he kept asking for a cold tinnie instead of a dry martini?

 

[bigkev bleeds purple]

Pfft, memories could do that.

Whilst that may be true, it doesn't change the fact that us mere mortals would find it exceedingly difficult.

Should I leave the room now while you two decide if you're going to smash it out or kiss and make up?

 

[Stronzo]

I've already won the bond debate

As for the red bull air race, is anyone going?

 

[estibador]

Nah that's ok. We're cool now Stronz has seen the light.

I'll concede that Craig is the best bond ever...

 

[The Night Shift]

Roger Moore was good in a few films though he suffered from some bad writing. ex Moonraker

The Man With The Golden Gun & A View To A Kill are good. Live & Let dDie is not shabby either.

Is he the best bond... hmmmz hard to call

There isn;t a Sean Connery Bond film I don't like - All are good
Diamonds Are Forever, You Only Live Twice, Thunderball & Goldfinger are great !!!

Timothy Daltons 2 movies are not bad... shame he didn't have a chance to do more

Pierce Brosnan... Have to say Goldeneye was tops..

As far as reality and toughness goe Daniel Craigs is great. Cold, Tough and the best fighter by far.....

Crazy thought - Imagine William Shattner as Bond in the early years ..... Would've been funny

So, Horde... Since you're all so clever at everything else, why don't you recommend an all-mountain mid fat ski for bigkev? I'm looking for something that's going to be versatile on and off piste, probably a 50/50 or maybe a 70/30 ski. Nothing too stiff since my technique is still a bit sloppy and carving can quickly become skidding, particularly on short radius turns. A bit of float in the pow and plenty of grip on hardpack is what I really need, maybe even the ability to bash a few GS gates if the mood strikes. I like the:

K2 Apache Xplorer:

K2 Apache Recon:

Elan Magfire 82 Ti:

Salomon X-Wing Tornado:

StÖckli Rotor 76:

Bit worried that the Tornadoes and Rotors might be a bit skinny in the waist to handle the freshies, likewise that the Xplorers might not have the grip on any boilerplate hardpack I might come across. I haven't heard too many people that don't gush about the Recons, Rotors and Magfires, but are they a bit too much ski for a low advanced skier? What say you, Horde?

 

[ashley12]

Mate, I can hardly see the screen through tiredness at the moment and you want me to pick a ski for you...

Gutsy that...

It's amazing the things you'll do when you know deep down inside that you're only up at this hour because you're supposed to be studying, but you really really really don't want to.

Should be, but CBF'd...

Contemplating going home, but need to read this shit...

I barely understood a word you just said. Just pick the one with the prettiest colours.

That's the same motto I use when picking Jelly. Purple (grape/blackberry (best ever)or Blue (Blueberry or Bubble gum (stay away from the bubble gum)are the best for what it's worth.

Notable mentions must however go to Red Rasberry, but not strawberry.

And this one is growing on me red port wine (who woulda thunk it?)

I currently have about 20 litres of lelly in fridges stored in various fridges. why? well I just felt like jelly, and wanted to see which was the best so I bought all the flavours I could find. Didn't costy much since Jelly is dirt cheap.

 

[Stronzo]

Don't know anything about skiing, but lime is the best jelly flavour

 

[Dyslexic Emo]

Remember that time in the Simpsons, when Lisa's teacher got lime (sp.) disiease and they ended up getting that Substitute teacher guy who played the guitar and wore a cowboy hat.

That guy was a douche.

 

[RickSanchez]

gonna try get the name without googling, was it like Mr. Bergstrom or something? Sounds swedish or something....don't knock swedes sir!

Purple jelly best, not just because its a freo colour i just love purple lollies etc, tastes best.

Good episode though. That's when the Simpsons was awesome, would it have been round about series 3 or 4? Episodes like the Monorail, the Softball one with Daryl Strawberry, Ken Griffey Jnr and Co, the one where Bart has a big brother, Mr Plow, Flaming Moe's, the Leftorium, and the greatest episode ever, Colonel Homer, where Homer manages Lurleen the Coctail Waitress/Country singer.

 

[estibador]

Which begs the question - what is the greatest Simpsons episode ever?

Off the top of my head four stand out for me:

- the beer baron episode

- the episode when Homer becomes a hippie

- the episode when Homer goes to work for Hank Scorpio and kills James Bond

- the episode when Homer becomes addicted to medicinal marijuana (though I've only seen that one once or twice and can't remember if I liked it because it was a great episode or just because it was cool to see Homer smoking dope)
