Personally I like the change. I think they need to make more of Midtown pedestrian only.


No, I witnessed the ill-judged pedestrianisation of the Square earlier this year. In fact, I was in New York the very first day it happened and was horrified to find the place automatically turn into the New Year's Eve version of itself. A native explained to me that it's a bad idea because ultimately it's about raising rents and real estate values in the area and that Bloomberg has ulterior motives entirely unconnected to the well-being of either New Yorkers or tourists, but I can't remember the full thrust of that argument so I won't attempt to paraphrase it.

Besides, it just looks silly.]]> philipchevron Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:14:27 -0800 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=168606#p168606 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&p=168606#p168606 Re: Going to the theatre A Steady Rain by Keith Huff (Schoenfeld Theatre, New York) Seen November 20

"Tonight is a very special night for myself and Dan - tonight we got through a performance for the first time without somebody's cellphone going off!"

Not even Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig are immune from the epidemic of bad manners currently infesting audiences on both the West End and Broadway. But they rise above it nightly to auction off their undershirts in the cause of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the charity which takes up collections twice a year in all Broadway theatres. Tonight, the "wife-beaters" raise $20,000.

The play itself - a two hander in which they play a pair of Chicago cops, one Irish (Craig) the other Italian, who've been best friends since childhood and whose bond is now severely compromised by a chain of events which occur in the line of duty - is fairly slight though undeniably compelling, and will probably make a better movie if, as is widely believed, that is the goal. It asks fairly predictable questions about loyalty, love, friendship and moral courage, but it lacks the added theatrical undertow and linguistic athleticism which so distinguishes the two-handers of, say, Mark O'Rowe; still, the performances, directed by Corkman John Crowley (whose next Broadway job is the new Martin McDonagh play in February) are fine enough, especially from Jackman, who is something of a Broadway superstar since he won his Tony for the musical The Boy From Oz a few years back.

The scenic (Scott Pask) and lighting designs (Hugh Vanstone) are both considerably above par.]]> NewJerseyRich Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:01:25 -0800 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&p=168605#p168605 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&p=168605#p168605 Re: Flogging Molly

I see Dickinson's been told off for the inadequacies of his refereeing at the Italy-NZ match, Billie. I've never rated him as an official at all.


Actually he's been told off in the wrong manner: Paddy O'Brien said Dickinson penalized the All Blacks while it was the Italian scrum that was sistematically committing offences. It's a shame, because in fact the All Blacks were under pressure at the scrum and committed repeated professional fouls which should've let to a penalty try or to several yellow cards.

I think O'Brien wanted to put pressure on England: New Zealand fear their scrummage and O'Brien made them know they will not have the chance to destroy the NZL scrum...

Michael Connelly - City Of Bones

Only just recently found Michael Connelly books and finding them very addictive.

Razor Smith - A Few Kind Words And A Loaded Gun

Gave this a go just because of TMTCH connection, was not dissapionted as it is a great read.


Daniel Lux - Camden Parasites

Never read a more aptly titled book.]]> mekongwhiskey Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:01:32 -0800 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=168574#p168574 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=168574#p168574 Re: The Pogues without Shane CraigBatty Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:59:47 -0800 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=168573#p168573 http://www.pogues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&p=168573#p168573 Re: England, Scotland, Ireland 2009

Dana and George Hook! That's only a new release and the record shop said they wouldn't have it in on 7" single for another 3 weeks! I could tape it off the radio and fade it out as the presenter starts to talk :roll:

I think I have reached my quota on this type of football talk for the decade :)


It's not in Henry's gift to "tell" the referee to reverse any of his decisions, though it sometimes seems that way with these primping peacocks. Though Henry's handball infringement is now beyond dispute - it is accepted by all parties - ultimately the decision was a refereeing error. I notice that the incident is now appearing on news networks here in the USA (CNN Headline News had it this morning) and frankly, France and Henry are the long term losers in this.

Well, in theory it should've been regarded as a case of deliberate handball, which should merit a yellow card for the offending player and a free kick against his team.

Reasons for the specific outrage against Henry specifically in this case? Partly because of who he is: captain of the national team, and someone who's carefully built up a reputation for being one of the sport's "good guys", which has added to his marketability. Although if you look back over his career there have been a fair few blemishes there actually. And the way in which he obviously knew he'd done wrong, but couldn't quite manage to admit it until too late...

There are things that you can get away with in sport when there aren't a whole load of cameras trained on you. Although in fact he did get away with it in this case, didn't he?]]>
