Stressed
Been trying hard this weekend to get a backlog of work stuff out the way - but the power socket that my laptop is plugged into seems to be a bit flaky. I have to keep reaching down under my desk to give the plug a bit of a push every now and then. It's driving me mad - and I'm getting very stressed. Give the plug a little push yourself - right there in the picture below. It's the first plug on the second distribution board from the left. (Hover over the space bar on my keyboard for a hint.) This will load a shockwave flash movie - "pop-video" of a song called "Stress" by Jim's Big Ego - from around 4 years ago. It's around 1.5 Megabytes - so won't take long to load - even on dialup. Once it's loaded - you won't have to load it again.|

Hi Shobha - hope you're doing well in your exams. I haven't seen the film yet - but I will be seeing it soon for sure! I have heard mixed reviews of it so far though. Many saying that it is nowhere near as good as Bend It.
From what I have heard - Asian/Indian people will CRINGE big time at the acting and dialogue - and I also hear that there is a real lack of on-screen chemistry between Ash and the lead male actor (Henderson). Also - the songs are reported as being really annoying! So - in a away - I'm not really looking forward to it to be honest! Still - has to be done - I will definitely post a review as soon as I see it.
You keep well!

Also - I hear that there is a Hindi-dubbed version of the film - which has been simultaneously released under the title "Balle Balle: Amritsar to LA".

Hey Jag, I saw the movie in English. I'm sure the dubbed version doesn't have that effect. :)

Hi Fritz: yes - the Thunderbirds production is one of Slough's "claim to fame" !
