The Counting House
The Counting House is part of the Wetherspoon's chain of pubs, which you don't really notice from the outside. It's located in the centre of Glasgow on St. Vincent's Place, which is across from George's Square. It is located in a really good place, it's so close to the main shopping part of Glasgow and George's Square looks gorgeous around Christmas with all the lights.
From the outside, the building is amazing. It's quite similar to a lot of the architecture around Glasgow which I love. Inside, there are high ceilings and it looks really quite beautiful, you do feel like you're in an old-fashioned, stately home.

Advantages: Great mixture of songs, very talented band Disadvantages: None for me
Counting Crows are an American band that never really made it big in this country which is a real shame as they are so talented! They were formed back in 1990 and are still together after all these years! They tour the UK every couple of years and although they are my favourite band of all time I have not yet seen them in concert as I am not a fan of crowded places!
The album 'August and Everything After' was released back in 1993 and it was the soundtrack to my youth, blimey that makes me feel old now! I listen to this album on a regular basis even today and never get bored of it as it is still my favourite!
The tracks are as follows:
1. Round Here
A brilliant guitar riff opens this track which is repetitive throughout but not annoying. The song is very simple yet effective. Some great lyrics such as "we talk just ...
Advantages: Tense, Atmospheric Thriller Disadvantages: Hardly upbeat! (Is a positive for some!)
Now i'll turn my hand to a little video nasty! Hardly but a little more of a creepy one than I usually review.
So what's it all about?
-------------------------------
'Session 9' is a film made in 2001 and is directed by Brad Anderson (The machinist).
The film is a psychological thriller set around Danvers State Mental Hopsital and is focussed on a team of asbestos removal specialists who are somewhat obstructed in the path of completing their work by a few odd occurances in the old Hospital.
The team are given a strict deadline that their leaders Gordon (Peter Mullan) and Phil (David Caruso) are in disagreement over the realism of the goal. Gordon is going through some personal turmoil and seems determined to take his mind off of this by getting his team working extremely hard.
A subplot to the group dynamic is that Phil ...
