Kiera Knightly in pride & predjeduce
Agreed
Disagree. The missus had the last 45 minutes of it on yesterday. Kneightly spent most of the flick walking around looking confused and uttering preposterous nonsense. I much preferred the blonde bird. Had to make herself switch it off it was so shit anyhow. We stuck on Mary Poppins instead.

[font=verdana]The events that led to Malloy’s death began in January 1933.[/font][color="#0000ff"][1][/url][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-blum-2”][color="#0000ff"][2][/url][font=verdana] He was, at the time, [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic”][color="#0000ff"]alcoholic[/url][font=verdana] and [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homelessness”][color="#0000ff"]homeless[/url][font=verdana].[/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-read-1”][color="#0000ff"][1][/url][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-blum-2”][color="#0000ff"][2][/url][font=verdana] Five men who were acquainted with Malloy, Tony Marino, Joseph Murphy, Francis Pasqua, Hershey Green, and Daniel Kriesberg (later dubbed “the Murder Trust” by the headlines), plotted to take out three [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_insurance”][color="#0000ff"]life insurance[/url][font=verdana] policies on Malloy and then get him to drink himself to death.[/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-read-1”][color="#0000ff"][1][/url][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-blum-2”][color="#0000ff"][2][/url][font=verdana] The first part of the plot was successful (probably achieved with the aid of a corrupt insurance agent), and they stood to gain over $3,500 (more than $61,000 by 2011’s standards by the [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Price_Index”][color="#0000ff"]CPI[/url][font=verdana]) if Malloy died an accidental death.[/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-read-1”][color="#0000ff"][1][/url][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-blum-2”][color="#0000ff"][2]

To remedy this, [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze”][color="#0000ff"]antifreeze[/url][font=verdana] was substituted for liquor, but still, Malloy would drink until he passed out, wake up, and come back for more.[/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-read-1”][color="#0000ff"][1][/url][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-blum-2”][color="#0000ff"][2][/url][font=verdana] Antifreeze was substituted with [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turpentine”][color="#0000ff"]turpentine[/url][font=verdana], followed by [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse”][color="#0000ff"]horse[/url][font=verdana] [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liniment”][color="#0000ff"]liniment[/url][font=verdana], and finally mixed in [/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_poison”][color="#0000ff"]rat poison[/url][font=verdana].[/font][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-read-1”][color="#0000ff"][1][/url][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-nydailynews-4”][color="#0000ff"][4][font=verdana] Still, Malloy lived.[/font]

[font=verdana]When that failed, they decided that it was unlikely that anything Malloy ingested was going to kill him, so the Murder Trust decided to freeze him to death. On a night when the temperature reached -14 °F (-26 °C), Malloy drank until he passed out, was carried to a park, dumped in the snow, and had five gallons (19 L) of water poured on his bare chest.[/font][color="#0000ff"][1][/url][url=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Malloy#cite_note-blum-2”][color="#0000ff"][2][/url][font=verdana] Nevertheless, Malloy reappeared the following day for his drink.

David Hasselhoff and his girlfriend Hayley hit the Etihad Stadium
Premier League champions Manchester City were given extra incentive to hammer Stoke on New Year’s Day – they were determined to impress ‘The Hoff’.
American TV legend David Hasselhoff met the City squad in the dressing room after the 3-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium, with the former Knight Rider and Baywatch star even squeezing into a club shirt, although sadly he appears not to be a household name with the City kitman – who wrote ‘Hasselhoff’ 10′ on the back.
Unperturbed, the Hoff buddied up with the likes of Joe Hart, Carlos Tevez and the Y-front-clad Javier Garcia. The 60-year-old , who is starring in pantomime as ‘Hoff the Hook’ in Manchester Theatre’s Peter Pan, said: ‘I’m into the spirit. I know how the city is separated between City and United.
‘I’m torn between the two clubs. I want to wish everyone a ‘Hoffy’ New Year.
There was no confirmation whether the lads joined in a rendition of his seminal ‘Hooked on a Feeling’’ track to welcome in the New Year. Or left in KITT, Knightrider’s famous car.
