The Culture Cup round 2.

First topic message reminder :

OK, after the roaring success of round one, here is the roundup.

Round 1 threw up a few surprises, not least seanmichaels claiming first place and Galted close behind in second.  Not the section of the league that these two usually frequent.  It was clearly incorrect because To Kill a Mockingbird is obviously superior to Lord of the Rings but there is nowt as queer as folk and the good people of 606v2 have spoken.  They have also spoken enough to garner Niall Quinn's autobiography some votes and some points, despite the p*ss taking throughout.

Adam has made his usual solid start, taking third place which is one below where he will inevitably end up.  Perhaps the biggest surprise is that Union finished with a vote and some points.  Remarkable.  

Table after round 1;

seanmichaels (Lord of the Rings): 12
Galted (To Kill a Mockingbird): 10
Adam (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory): 8
Hero (Fantastic Mr Fox): 7
Dolphin Ziggler (Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy): 6
onlytreblewinners (Strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde): 5
Azzy (Moby Dick): 5
compelling & rich (Storm of Swords): 4
The Boss (Niall Quinn's autobiography): 4
Jbeadlesbigrighthand (The Old Man and the Sea): 4
The Womble (A Kestral For A Knave): 3
Superflyweight (Trainspotting): 3
Julius (The Big Sleep): 2
Rowley (The Godfather): 2
Union (The Dogs of War): 2
TopHat (Rage): 2
ChequeredJersey (The Kindly Ones): 0
bhb (The Ragged Trousered Philantropists): 0

Question 3:  What is the best film released since the turn of the century? Culture isn't limited to old sh*t so what is the best film released since the 1st January 2000.  This should eliminate some people choosing old films that they haven't actually seen but come near the top of best film lists.  It can be re-releases if you want, animated films, porn, whatever you think deserves a mention.  Fo' shizzle.

Please PM me your answers and pick a couple of choices.  As usual, if you don't get your first pick I will let you know.

Please see the poll for round 2.  Please vote for your top 2 and remember, It is open for the whole forum to vote.

Thanks.

Almost as much of a ladies man as Tony Knowles....

I think he may be related to darts player, Steve "The Adonis" Beaton.

Can I ask the likes of superfly and tina to try and avoid discussing wrestling. An inevitable and unfortunate by-product of competitions likes this is that our paths will inevitably cross but they are like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, absolutely the worst thing you can do is encourage them.

Used to work with a guy who was the spit of Steve Beaton.

"Steve Beaton" we used to call him.

He does look like Brian Kilcline though.

I wouldn't know, unlike you I refuse to google him.

Rowley wrote:I wouldn't know, unlike you I refuse to google him.

I only google imaged him. I haven't stooped as low as reading his wiki page.

Steve 'The Adonis' Beaton. Absolute legend and terribly good looking man (non homo).

Spoiler:

Doesn't work....

does now. the David Beckham of darts.

On topic, can't believe 7 people voted for REM. What a anwful depressing wrist-slitting song that is.

Darts and wrestling. At last we're getting some proper culture on this thread.

I like darts. It's the only sport I've got the natural physique/shape for - capital 'D'.

It's not a sport.

It fails both the shoe and smoking test.

That's because I wrote it in my Sid Waddell accent - well spotted! You score 180, with a clothesline thrown in for good measure.

Only one of those is a real test though.

They are both real tests. One is just better than the other.

If the smoking test is whether you can smoke whilst participating then you can't, as it is inside. Ergo, 'tis a sport.

That only works in countries where smoking inside is banned.

Eh?

So it is a sport in the UK, but not in Algeria?

Your smoking test is a nonsense, sir.

It's not my test. It is Ill Gia's.

Apology accepted.

There is nothing rubbish about the brogues test.

Yeah, I even had a go at TopHat for putting a # on a post to me.

If you can't beat em and all that.

LOL

I'd like to see two rounds per week. Seems to be the right tempo for me. Say Monday and Thursday.

I'm sure you would, but as I said to Adam, it is much more work than I envisaged!

You may find it hard to believe, but I actually do hold down a real, full-time job.

No but it's bloody good fun. And, ironically, less pretentious than showing off on an internet forum about all your celebrity mates/neighbours.

Who is happy hardcore? Is he a new member of something?

Went to watch Pain & Gain with TIMC last night, best bit was the brief cameo by Tino's mate Wladimir.
