If they really felt sorry, they would have given you free gas

First flaw in that plan is the lack of Slurpees available in the UK.

I can remember buying Slush Puppies here as a child but the machines don't seem to be in shops much now.

The last series was fantastic. Natalie & I both enjoy watching Torchwood, even Dr who seems to have raised bars & has taken a new approach.

I dont think the US needed to be involved in the production, I am wondering if rogue is right with the series becoming a little numbing or maybe the girls shall be given new suits to show more cleavage... A usual US trick

this is intentionally the way its set up.
you will never see the devils responsible for the evil.
you will only ever meet their prole underlings who will be nice and sweet so you don't murder the guy who signs their paycheck.

From what I have heard, they did need to be involved in the funding or another series wasn't going to happen. It has done well in the States but had been decreasing in popularity here. With good reason really because until that last series it had been a bit silly. They cull of so many character was very needed. At last, Torchwood was being the adult cousin of Who because of its content rather than just sex and swearing. There is one scene in particular in the last series (involves a father and kids..trying not to spoil) that was jaw dropping in intensity. Until then they had just been more a teenager show. We shall see how it goes but I do sort of wish they had killed Gwen too and just left it Jack.

ArsewithClass · 06-09-2010, 03:11 PM

Jack is a fantastic character, but lol I do like Gwen also...

Looking forward to seeing what the US has to offer to Granada (i think???).

I figured that could be a possibility when I posted it. Surprised they don't have them. We have Slurpees, Icees, Slush Puppies etc... They have these guys that ride around with ice cream bars in bike coolers, not sure what brand they are but mainly in the mexican neighborhoods and whatever brand they are those kick ass.

Clearly I do not.

Yeah we feel strongly about it here in new orleans, my family runs multiple different businesses that are completely shut down right now, its affecting beaches I planned on taking my wife and child to this summer, it has multiple people I know unemployed and affecting every bit of water surrounding us. Yeah, i tend to feel strongly about it.

As others we are boycotting BP, its putting many in my family not only out of work, but no work in forseeable future. Family has worked these waters for over 200 years and now BP has shut us down.

Fuck BP, until you come down here and see it first hand you dont know how bad it is. The fact you made a thread about going into BP station shows how out of touch with those affected and the situation you really are.

I never warmed to Gwen. I tried but she just always feels false to me.
