Pundits you Rate. Pundits you Don't.

There seem to be loads of threads at the moment where we're identifying characters who've got it in for Palace. Without your red & blue specs, who's good and who's not?

I like:
Danny Murphy
Alan Smith
Pat Nevin

Dislike (not an exhaustive list):
Chris Waddle
Ray Wilkins
Danny Mills


The Liverpool car park fire

So 1,400 cars catch fire , 1,400 petrol tanks explode , around 7000 tires burning and yet the car park is still standing, as in it didn't fall down (would any of us expect it to anyway? )

Now for the real question

Tower 7 of the world trade centre , a 47 story building, with small internal fires that where burning for around 7 hours and managed to bring the whole building down , How ?
Anyone on here with building / architecture knowledge that have seen the collapse of Tower 7 please give me your thoughts.


Suggestion: Lookman

He appears to be a bit part player at Everton at the moment. Would they be interested in selling and would he be interested in coming back to London?

Quick, very young and could work well playing off Benteke or as another option on the wing.


Rumour: Jason Lokilo to Charlton on loan

James Nursey in the Mirror reporting that Charlton want Lokilo on loan. See absolutely no reason why it wouldn't happen if it's accurate. He's been in excellent form for the U23s this season. Will check it out myself.


Scott Dann injury

Looked like a bad one based on the stretcher and the obviously anguished expression. Probably been mentioned in some of the post match discussion but deserves a thread of its own.

So anyone heard anything more about the injury?


Any chance of yesterday’s game in full coverage?.

Any chance one of you clever sods can put the whole game up on here? Especially if it’s mobile friendly. Night worker and was asleep during game.
Would be very grateful if someone can help. Cheers in advance :p.
Forget the penalty miss it’s an amazing result.


Home cinema experts?

dimanche 31 décembre 2017

Thought this would be the best section for this but we are looking at a variety of options for upgrading a smallish cinema room (6 seats) that we gave up our garage for a while back. Pretty sure some of you will know a lot more than me so....

We are interested in upgrading our projector to 4K HDR and I will come back to that later if that’s OK. We ‘may’ also upgrade to Atmos from the 7.2 we have today. It’s all sounding a lot more expensive than we expected but would rather look at doing it ‘properly once now’ if we can so we can just enjoy it rather than do it incrementally. Can’t take it with you etc once we have added it all up we can downgrade components to fit what feels good value. We have had an Oppo 95 and had planned to upgrade to their best new model but are being pushed to look seriously at a Kaleidescape system. Basically a proprietary system comprising hard drives/Blu-ray player, digital shop that sells legit Blu-ray downloads etc. At 4K hdr or anything below. The idea that this would be used for the blockbuster ‘showoff’ Movies but other sources for the run of the mill stuff.

So long intro but I thought I could add further questions later if there are gurus out there.

1 - My first question is that iTunes have 4K movies but does anyone know how they differ from say the 4K hdr Blu-ray. I.e. are they cut down versions? I noticed that the 4kHDR Blu-ray cost about £25-30 and on Kaleidescape can sometimes be over £33. But iTunes are nothing like that currently.

2 - does anyone on here have Kaleidescape and if so what do you think?

3 - considering 3 different Sony projectors. The new laser one and the 2 models below that. So quite a price variance. Anyone know anything useful about these? The laser is pricey (cheap comparatively in am assured) but doesn’t have the hassle of bulbs and dimming etc over time and sounds remarkable by all accounts. If we do that it may trade off against quality of sound upgrades though.

Any insights welcomed. As info also being suggested we swap out our Anthem DV2 for an Arcam something or other. :) sheesh. :)
