Failed to organise wedding reception.


What kind of reception are you going to have?

We're (hopefully) going to have a Jacob's Join in a nice hall with a bar.

I f***ing hate wannabe-posh sit-down, dress-up middle-class receptions with posh food that nobody likes and that costs me a fortune and means that you only get to talk to the idiots on your particular table.

Buffet ftw!


It's all about you dude & that sounds like a lovely do. I spent so much energy trying to please everyone with my wedding as I not only had my family to worry about but both my parents were remarried to I had step families too! One of my aunts hasn't spoken to me since *her loss*

Got Max Payne and Surveillance Sky+'d to see


You've reminded me of a really bad film for the appropriate thread - I think Max Payne's a load of sh1te I'm sorry to say, but see what you think...

Went into town and bought a couple of Sunday papers, a Superman comic and Classic Rock.

Played a bunch of PS3 demos - Sega Rally and rubbish tennis games are a right laugh :lol:

Spent way too long on the net as ever.

Wasted about an hour trying to keep my nephew amused - he could care less :oops:

Saw Survellance last weekend, was quite good, saw the twist coming a mile off though. Wondering whether or not to watch Max Payne. It looks good, but it's a film of a game and they're never good.

We had friends over on Saturday night, so spent most of the day preparing food, then spent all Sunday watching telly and playing on my PS3. I decided to restart GTA IV as I haven't played it for about six months after getting stuck and couldn't remember where I'd got to and what the controls were. Having restarted it, I'm not sure I can be bothered to do it again. Either GTA IV isn't that great, or I'm growing out of computer games. I suspect a bit of both.


If you do have doubts about Payne, don't bother is my advice - it's got one good scene in the middle and the rest is fcuked up tosh :(

GTA IV takes ages to get into, only really became playable for me when I changed the controls to resemble the 'classic controls', and has the usual quota of dumb-ass missions GTA is somewhat notorious for... Still a 'good enough' game but +1 anyway, and I'm also getting too old I think ;) ;) ;)

I didn't see the twist and thoroughly enjoyed it. The van scene made me jump haha. Lots of people on IMDB slated it but they probably like the big Hollywood blockbuster rubbish that's churned out.

Yeah, me too! It was actually really good, I think I was only slightly disappointed as I was expecting the usual lightweight hollywood crap and it was a little bit more "indie" than that. Sometimes all you want is some hollywood crap! (But not too crap.)

Any recomendations for the best way to go about this, or even what not to do? (8-p) It's a job I've been putting off for 3 or 4 years now...

I took the plunge and bought This package. http://www.vhsconverter.co.uk/ although I paid well under a £100 for it. It does all the menu's etc etc. Although with Win7 64 bit I had to use different software to write the DVD's as the sound and pic kept going out of sync.

There are cheaper alternatives with just cables and software for about £40.

If you are going to be around Bath and want to borrow it .............PM me.
