Rank Amateur. I quite like film photography, all MY pics are copyright. I like music of nearly every variety and can mostly be found nestling in the past with my open reel recorder and cameras. My real name is Bill.

Yes! But my Blu-ray player outputs everything in stereo, has the resolution it says on the box and no bugger is turning down the quality when it gets a bit busy. I am a physical media bore and fiercely proud of it.

Film makers should be forced to watch 1940s musicals so that they can replicate the lighting and colors.... I'm tired of not being able to see shit.

Exactly this, make the standard mix in stereo as well. I don't know anybody with a surround sound set up. Yet here we are trying to hear a 5.1 mix over two channels.

It's funny seeing all the variations on H1B5 reg plates parked up in Lochend the day of a game. Hibee's have Hibs reg plates, Jambo's have maroon cars it seems.

'In fact we Scots were instrumental in the development of TV, but do regale me with tales of cultural wonder from Noel's House Party.' I love English several people dearly, but as a nation they really are very self regarding. I don't think it's on purpose but that's how it comes off.

I once had a charming conversation with a witty and elegant English actress who bewildered me part way through our chat by asking what we called level crossings in Scotland. She was educated and travelled the globe and wasn't having a joke with me about it. I think about it quite often.
