How can people poison children, those poor babies. Just goes to show what a coward he was, he shot himself in the head. Words fail me.

Re: Tele
 

I know, he just looked so manipulative hiding behind his sunglasses, obviously a mentally ill,abusive, drug addict. What surprises me is that in the on-line poll 43% say the adult deaths were murder while the majority 56% say it was suicide. I say Jim Jones and his inner circle took a bunch of disenfranchised, poor people and manipulated them culminating in their brainwashed murder as sure as he might have shot them all. What are people thinking that vote suicide?!?!

Re: Tele
 

It's a technicality. Technically they committed suicide. Yes, he brainwashed them into doing it, but essentially they killed themselves, however they murdered their children. Much like in murder cases when a woman convinces her boyfriend to kill her husband. The boyfriend is the one that gets done for murder, she would just be an accessory. Either way, it's sad & wrong. But the bastard took the easy way out, like most cowards do.

Notes from the underbelly...or whatever it's called.

Anyway, started today...a bit daft of a show, but I thought it was pretty funny, most amusing new comedy around at least, considering so many at the mo are getting a bit long in the tooth.

Re: Tele
 

I thought it was great, but maybe I appreciated it more because I've been there, done that, so it makes more sense to me! Hill-hairy-arse! :D

Re: Tele
 

So who's been watching Dr Who?

But anyway, BBCA had a few good things on lately, lastnight they had "After Thomas"

Had the bloke from Coupling and the bird from Spooks...anyway, it was about Autism and was a pretty good made for tele movie thing, quite touching.

The other thing we saw on Saturday was "Wild at Heart"

A new series about a vet and his family that move to Africa somewhere to look after animals out there sort of thing, slightly dorky start to the series, but it looks promising that it might be good.

Re: Tele
 

Anyone watch CSI tonight? I thought that was probably one of the funniest episodes that....

ER, still watching it, though it's a tad pat and weird these days.

Shark and Greys are pretty good.

I'm still catching Drive, it got much better after the rather lame first episode, so we'll see...

So anything else?

Re: Tele
 

Thay guy certainly took some killing ...............

Re: Tele
 

I know it....all those attempts, now that's having a real bad day :D

Re: Tele
 

It seems Drive has been ditched after 4 episodes. :curse:

Re: Tele

Re: Tele
 

Strange country America, lol. You can buy hard core adult DVD's and you can but hard core magazines...but God forbid if you see a boobie or a nipple on the networks:lol: :lol: :lol:

They should come over here and watch Channel 4 after dark, or the Adult Channel Freeview after midnight, lolololol

Re: Tele
 

Did anyone see "Screech" aka "long dong" have a meltdown on "Celebrity Fit Club" this weekend ? It wasn't quite as good as when Vanilla Ice attacked his own picture in "The Surreal Life" but it was comparable with David Hasselhoffs teary breakdown on "Idol" last year in terms of entertainment value.
