By Falmouth...and no idea yet
If you want to go exploring and see a lot then hire a car for the weekend. If you drive down you can pop in the Eden Project on the way. It's a bit further on from Falmouth but I personally love Penzance, you have the Minack Theatre, St Michael's Mount, Trengwainton Gardens, and just a bit further round the corner (go through Newlyn and Mousehole if you can) Land's End, which is cheezy but i like it. Go back through Sennen (beach there is amazing).
Or on the North coast at the bottom you have St Ives, which has a fantastic bird sanctuary called Paradise Park, I loved it there as a kid. There's also some fairly good museums and gallerys. Then back up the coast you have St Agnes which is very quaint, Perrenporth and Newquay which have excellent surf. There's loads more attractions further north as well.
Alternatively if you go down by train there is plenty in Falmouth, Pendennis Castle, the National Maritime Museum, Trebah Gardens, Glendurgan Gardens etc.
Why would you want to see it in 2D? Eye condition?
I say that as someone who thinks 3D is a load of bollocks.
But Ridley Scott. Ridley. Scott.
3D looked completely natural, like how you see the world every day. I've never seen anything like it in cinema before.
Yup. -24, -32. Right eye has a squint/lazy/doesn't work. Bit pissed off at not being able to get to a 2D screening, and this was common going by interviews, Kermode blog posts I've seen. Paramount deliberately put out very few 2D screenings.

Just stumbled across the old BritGAF thread. What happened to all those posters, there were dozens who I've never seen in here!
Tardy reply: Nah, I'm not planning on going yet but no doubt if there are still tickets available during the season I'll probably get swept in to the hype and go.

I'm being careful in this thread now, but just tell me that's not you daviyoung
I hear yes. And I despair. Arrest was completely uncalled for.

The news said he said Daley let down his father, which is true, but ignores the fact there was at least 5 hours of disgusting abuse on top of that.
Ooooooh wow. Okay. Yeah, mind changed. That's not just abusive comments; that's harassment.

Loving the amount of times he's called a Jeremy.
You are wrong. Very wrong.
I read all of his posts before I posted.
The guy was a twat but it doesn't matter how far over the line he goes in this context.
If he had been abusing another twitter member with less of a following and media presence, it is highly likely the police would have done nothing, as they wouldn't have seen it plastered everywhere in the first place.
If you went down to the station to report it, they probably wouldn't even take a statement once they hear that you were insulted and threatened online by a random person with no connection to you who you do not know, in a one off event. You would maybe get a different response if there was a regimen of repeated abuse and threats over a prolonged period of time, not just a couple of hours.
hes a typical londoner

I'm tempted to agree that the police response would be less severe, but I actually think there's enough of a precedent established in the UK now that the police would still probably pay the 'abuser' a visit in person. Ultimately, it's starting to be considered alongside verbal abuse in person in the eyes of the law - whether that's right or wrong is a different discussion.
not enough crime or poverty in Cornwall for him

So I've been stuck with stupid brown hair since I dyed it last December and it didn't wash out (was supposed to be semi-permanent) thinking in just going to have to grow it out. I have long hair, that would've taken a while.
A friend of mine recommended a product called ColourB4 which strips colour out without damaging your hair. I was a little dubious, as I'd tried having my hair stripped when I dyed it black in my youth, and it didn't work at all.
Well, I've just given it a go, and it's bloody worked brilliantly! All the brown, all the red I'd dyed over the top, everything has gone, it's just my natural hair colour, which I'd not seen in so long I couldn't exactly remember what it looked like! Awesome stuff guys.

It was a present from years ago and I was in a hurry this morning and it happened to be the first tshirt in the drawer. Saying that it is one of the few shirts that I've received compliments for. Maybe I pull it off better. For one I'm not posting terrible YouTube videos.

Royal Mail are a shambles of a company. My postman has the god damn cheek to put a sorry you were out card through my letter box, when he didn't even ring or knock on the door to check I was in first. He didn't give me an item code, so I have to make my way to the post office at my fucking expense. Half tempted to make a formal complaint.
My jimmies are utterly rustled.
