    Avatar fakes...

    Thought I should warn people if you are offered any version which is claimed to be 3D or letterboxed at 2.35:1 it is a fake. All official releases are 2D and completely fill a 16:9 screen. They also have subtitles for the sequences spoken in Na'vi which are a considerable part of the movie.

    Graphic Design

    Still using Photoshop CS2 myself, it would take me too long to get used to any newer version. Hell, am still discovering new features in this one. Can someone please tell me the purpose of Image Ready? As far as I can tell it merely duplicates what Photoshop already does. Also it has a nasty...

    I expect the full story was reported in today's Telegraph?

    Things need to change

    If not from selling our best player then where is the money to come from? Gate receipts? I don't think so. SISU? They must already be thinking "Throwing good money after bad".

    What do you want to see on Sky Blues Talk?

    I normally have javascript disabled for security reasons and the enter key doesn't work without it. The paragraph breaks show in the preview but are then removed when the message is submitted. It's okay now that I've enabled javascript for this site.

    Retro gaming...

    Age of Kings: The Conquerors and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds (Clone Campiagns) which is based on the same game engine. So in effect have been playing the same game in one form or another for 12 years now. How sad is that? I have tried the newer games from the same studio but couldn't get...

    60's

    Ripping the shirt off a visiting supporter's back would probably be considered trivial today but at the time it was quite shocking. Also remember a crooked groundman jamming the turnstile with his knee so that the club didn't receive the money I paid for admission.

    60's

    I was, up until the promotion game against Wolves. That's when the "fairweather friends" turned up, many of whom I'd never seen before at Highfield Road. Also the hooligan element raised its head for the first time at that game.

    Retro gaming...

    Seeing the advert on the front page here for old games consoles, thought I would mention that I previously owned a couple of the types being offered. The first was Sega Master II. This was a very underrated console. All of the major games made for its upmarket 16-bit cousin the Megadrive...

    Favourite & Least Favourite Films of all time

    The Flight of the Phoenix (1965 version) The remake is a good action movie but doesn't have any of the drama of the original. "If you needed more water why didn't you just come right out and ask me for it?" "Because you wouldn't have given it to me." "You're damned right I wouldn't have given...

    Best live coverage query...

    Which website has the best live coverage of City's games, I mean that scrolling text stuff. Is it BBC Sport, Sky, Coventry Telegraph or some other website? I haven't seen the Sky version yet but the Telegraph's commentary-cum-blog looks like a total mess to me.
