Milk tasting
Possibly a first in beverage research, a self-declared expert in all matters lactic will stage a live comparative tasting of different types of milk (whole, semi-skimmed, UHT) from different supermarkets and shops seeking to establish variations in taste, consistency and colour. Audience participation welcomed.

Wasn't going to do this, but seeing what's happening just made me snap.
Mal Rt.
The company responsible for a million cubic metres of toxic alumina by- product wiping out a couple of villages, killing 7 people, extinguishing all life in the Marcal river (that isn't counting any animals that drink from it), wiping out all ground based wild life & causing the need to put to sleep hundreds of pets & live stock, just to put them out of their misery.
I have seen video of fields strewn with dead rabbits, sheep & cattle & watching the dogs getting their final injections is heartbreaking.
Even the PM (who is basically a dickhead) came across as genuinely devastated when interviewed on the telly.
Mal Rt. sent a "spokesperson" to the affected areas & he talked to the people from within his car via a loudspeaker!!
Mal Rt have blamed this on the rain fall.
Here you can see an aerial photo of the wall that gave way. A wall made of concrete
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11495540
To give you an idea of the size, the dots on the top left of the wall are people.
BTW. Insurance coverage for such an event was 10m HUF (less than 37k euro)
So, this happened a couple of days ago. People have been given blankets & warm clothes, but can't cook stuff (it's all under the sludge), so people have come from all over the country to cook for these homeless folks.
These villages will never be rebuilt
& Mr Lajos Tolnay (personal wealth 85m euro) hasn't even had the gaul to say "sorry".
It might be well away from where I live, but I am frankly disgusted.

What's wrong with bringing back Ian Holm? Age? He can't be that much older than Chris Lee and McKellen..markfiend wrote:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11604193

Oh god please no. Epic fail.
I can just imagine him tutting and rolling his eyes to camera while Gandalf and Thorin are talking. To call him a one-dimensional actor is an insult to geometry.

Hmm, but isn't it said "he hasn't aged a day" since Gandalf last saw him? I guess it's going to be like Star Wars and in ten years they'll release a special version with Holm's face digitally replaced replaced!markfiend wrote:
Edit: although, Holm plays an older Bilbo in LOTR—he's "eleventy-one" at the Party, whereas during the events of The Hobbit he's in his early 50s—about the same age as Frodo when he undertakes the Ring Quest—and so probably someone around the same age as Elijah Wood?
I'd like to see Ian Holm in it as well, but according to imdb he's still a very busy actor*. I believe it's a combination of him being unavailable and the production teams desire for a younger actor to play the role that it's been given to Freeman.markfiend wrote:Agreed, totally.DeWinter wrote:What's wrong with bringing back Ian Holm?

According to Wikipedia he's between those two in age:
Christopher Lee born 27 May 1922
Ian Holm born 12 Sept 1931
Ian McKellen born 25 May 1939

I hear they're going to clone him. In keeping with current nomenclature, the clone is going to be known as a Xeroxtopus.
