    Interesting Gulf War News

    We aren't just trying to kill one man - it's regime change. Saddam has lots of people in his military and government - and where are your stats about Iraq's casualties ? There have only been like 30 injured. If anything, Bush has held back and concentrated on the ground war more to keep the...

    War Coverage: Gratuitous or Necessary?

    LOL - it's gratuitous in a way amd in other ways it's not. On the one hand this is history and people will want to see it, on the other hand yes the media treats it like the superbowl because obviously televised war is a relatively new 'toy' to them and the editors want to play with it. It is...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Re: Re: Re: Guys, That is pretty much what i see as the most likely option - i guess Henson hopefully might keep the NY offices as a base but we can probably kiss bye bye to the Chaplin studios as soon as the lease comes up for renewal, and i hope to god that if Disney's efforts at their...

    Interesting Gulf War News

    Thanks but i know the whole news/tv/politics game pretty well and i'm under no illusions as to disinformation and things like that but President Bush isn't the only person involved in this war. Hans Blix was swedish (or whatever he was) and said Iraq's declaration was not a full one and they...

    Interesting Gulf War News

    They've just launched scuds they weren't supposed to have, and the Al Samoud missile was falsely specified in Iraq's declaration and they were trying to extend it. Also there were the drone planes that were capable of carrying chemical and biological matierial. All this wasn't declared by...

    UKTV - CBBC Channel - 6pm

    I think thats a consumer kids show isn't it ? It'll be a repeat of the show, the new ones are always shown on BBC1 first.

    Interesting Gulf War News

    Why ? Iraq didn't give a full declaration of what they had, the inspectors weren't secret agents on the hunt for weapons, they simply destroy what Iraq says they have. If Iraq has something like Anthrax, but doesn't say so - then the inspectors destroy the tiny amount of stuff Iraq says it has...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Well you got lucky there Phil'ster ..... cos everyone he offered the Disney/Henson articles to before coming to you were being asked for money and a minimum guarantee of so many articles being printed. If you do intend to unleash him back on the site, i'd just suggest you check his facts...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Yeah what Jamie said - other than i agree that what he said in the article in question was not intentional, but it would take a total donkey not to have realised the conotations of what he was implying before he sent it in. Other than that, his articles are pure guesswork and are padded out...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    I agree with ya - that sounds about right for the Henson Company without the Creature Shop attached - but is he lowballing the price or are they planning to pay less for less of the assets ? We just have no clear indication of this. I'm also kinda scared Jim Hill is gonna come back to haunt...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    Re: Guys, Warrick, you talk like Disney will buy JHC and sink tons of money into it and everything will be the same and happy. Seriously dude, thats being incredibly optimistic - there's about 2% chance of that actually happening. Depends entirely what Disney want out of this - they could...

    Muppets Celphone Ringtones

    Yeah thats it - the timing was all off on my Erricsson phone - it needed pauses. There were a few 'bum' notes on TMS though, at least here.

    American Idol

    "Rigging" goes on all over the place in reality shows, i can't pick out one in the UK that hasn't been 'rigged' in some way, of course not illegally but by manipulation of the voters/contestants, biased editing, and the real doozy - weighting the number of phone lines available for one...

    St. Patrick's Day Menu

    Re: Luke As far as i remember, Ken's menus were catalogued there way before the graphics transition was made. Dunno who told you that ? People were encouraged to use them as banners i thought. I know what you mean though, it is better to keep the flash one's special and not have them...

    Ken said over on the Palisades forum he forgot to change the cards with Zoot - it's as simple as that ! :cool:

    American Idol

    Actually between you and me, LOL, the UK show was rigged too in exactly the same way so this doesn't suprise me. They had a fat contestant who loads of people voted to get into the last 10 because they felt sorry for him - of course they coin in the $$ from the premium rate phone line for that...

    Eisner confirms Disney could buy Henson and Muppets soon

    That's interesting, but they're just off the cuff comments. We already know that stuff is happening between Disney and Henson. It doesn't really give a CLEAR definitive indication whether he is talking about 'Henson' or 'The Muppets' - that just seems to be assumed by Reuters in the headline...

    Ooh my goodnest

    I guess this is something for the rare Muppet items in the collectables section - i wonder how much they cost to buy and who distributes em ?

    American Idol

    Wierd - it's just a saturday night show here in the UK, you get the results an hour later. All through the week you can watch the rehearsals and auditions 24/7 on the stations sister cable channel. I would never drag it out that much in the schedule, even weekday - people would get tired of...
