As for the series the effects are impressive, but really? 6 milion pounds? Was that really necessary?

The ending IS cheesy indeed :lol:

I have to admit, apart from the cheesy moment with the close-up of the tram driver, i found it pretty damn impressive.

Any thoughts?

Not a Corrie fan but that was certainly more impressive than the Easternder's fire. Couldn't see it was 6m worth though

6 Million was the quoted figure but was probably bluffed a bit from 5 or 5 and a half million. Certainly they pushed out all the stops to cause carnage, i thought the back end of the tram was particularly impressive. Just a shame there were survivors. :(

But, although it sounds impossile, it can get even worse:

Yes, it's taken from a song of Ella Fitzgerald. I've heard other versions of the song, but her's is the best IMO :)

Yes, 2010 sucked. I'm glad it's almost over.

Nice animation :)

Here's something from me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0aXY2pM2sA

Last summer I found an old casette from 90's and this song was on it. I didn't even remember it and when I was listening to it I didn't even speak English, so it was quite a shock when I listened to it now. Plus the video was another shock for me, but of course it made my day :lol:

Ha that was a trippy video, it actually looks like something Aqua would make (of Barbie Girl fame) but i dont recognize it all, best kept in the past eh.

P.S Can i call you Got or Mrs. That Swing? Your choice!

Yes, it's pretty Aqua type of song. But I find it more hilarious. Go cheetah get banana, hey monkey get funky - what kind of text is that? :lol:

Got sounds weird :P Like God in German if you add one t. Maybe just Swing, it's easier.
