update - City Are Staggering A minor bit of overly enthusiastic welcoming aside, the atmosphere outside Anfield pregame was electric and raw to match the players' welcome as they entered the pitch for this first leg of the Champion's League quarter-final.  City have been dominant in all competitions so far this season, and though confidence had been running very high, there had been the slight problem of Liverpool being the only team to beat them in the league and manager Jurgen Klopp's record against Pep Guardiola being slightly better in their historical matchups. BUY LIVERPOOL SHIRTS FROM EBAY Liverpool had their twelfth player as the crowd as ever, and the roar was loud enough to put the earlier thunderstorms to shame as a mere accompaniment. The Liverpool manager had called on his players to not only stand firm in the face of the beast that is City but to behead the monster and finish it. While Guardiola had said this game would be a terrific con...

Having already appeared in Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down 2001, he came to prominence in Star Trek Nemesis 2002, which was the end of the Next Generation period of the show.   He played a clone of Picard and is young enough to be almost unrecognisable in that role.  Youthful of countenance but already showing that he could punch his weight with the big boys.  BUY TOM HARDY MOVIES He continued to work through the early 2000's with stand-out performances in Bronson 2008 (utterly compelling, must see) and Layer Cake 2004.  While not yet taking Hollywood by the vitals, he was building his portfolio of work with A-List stars and directors. It was Inception 2011 that made his breakout role.  It garnered 8 Academy Awards and is one of the top 25 highest grossing movies of all time.  This film pushed him clearly into the A-List and has made him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood today.   L...

It took me a while to get it - see 'get it' in my dictionary later - but after watching the full, and woefully short three seasons, I'm now beginning to join the same crowd as many websites who put it in the top ten TV shows of all time.  I still won't go that far, not on principle against it, but on general extinct that most top tens demonstrate a limited knowledge of history as well as a bias to what is current and or popular right now. BUY DEADWOOD COMPLETE SET Therefore I will not put it in my top ten, which in itself is a silly idea by me anyway; it is too short for that, through no fault of the show so the arcs don't develop as they might, and I absolutely hate everything about drunken Calamity Jane I'm sorry to say. I would be hesitant to name a top five or three or even one actually, even The Wire is not god. This is not about me.

Baby Driver is a 2018 crime heist caper movie written and directed by Edgar Wright, who also directed such gems as the Hot Fuzz trilogy thing with Simon 'I know Tom Cruise' Pegg. The opening is very good and introduces the characters with depth.  As primarily a heist movie it follows the formula of a rote action reveal along with the introduction of a suitably motley crew of criminals.   In this iteration of the same old story -is that unfair?- the characters are interesting,  with Baby Driver himself certainly memorable, fleshed out and well played by Ansel Elgort. You may recognise him from The Fault in Our Stars. The crew has its own interesting conflicts and generally believable motivations, as well as Jamie Foxx in an excellent role for him as the token psychopath.  With Jon Hamm (Madmen), Jon Bernthal (The Punisher, The Walking Dead) and the ex-director of The Old Vic theatre in London who was in Seven too.   WALKING DEAD REBOOT...

Henna, also called Hina, Mignoneter, Al-Hanna or Privet in some regions, is a dye from the flowering plant of the same name.  Its botanical Latin name is Lawsonia inermis.  For growth, it requires temperatures between around 33 to 45 degrees. It is a shrub that can grow up to 25 feet high, with spiny branches, elliptical leaves and the small round fruit that bear the seeds. BUY HENNA TATTOO KITS There are a few competing theories as to the true origins of henna as a skin dye.  Some people believe that it was first used in India, while other researchers contend that its origin lay in Egypt and it reached India only through later migrations.  There is also a theory that it originated in North Africa.  No one can know for sure, and these ideas are generally traced to cave paintings that appear to demonstrate the use of henna for body decoration.
