McAvoy has got to be the most famous local resident now?
With Pegg decamped to LA, Aiden Gillan off to Ireland and Douglas Alexander not getting much press I think it's McAvoy's to lose.
I don't think I've ever seen a McAvoy film, but for some reason don't get the impression he's a bell end. I'd say such a Heat style accusation requires qualification at least.
Oddly enough, guys, I popped into the Noble for an hour last night and it was amazing, nobody seemed to know who I was. Coool. This is such a neighbourhood. I was the one in the shades. What's a bell end?

Of his work, I've seen Last King of Scotland, which I liked.
It's a bit like when Russell Crowe was asked what he thought of Ricky Ponting. They were fishing for him to say something rude about him and Crowe said something like "You can't argue with his record and I don't know him as a man".
Seems like the only line to take with celebrity really.
And if that, above, is really James McAvoy (and not, say, tosscat) I'll eat my hat.
I still think of him largely as Mr Tumnus, in part because just after seeing The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe I saw McAvoy in FP station, also carrying a stack of christmas presents.
Although, he was in State of Play (the TV version), which gets anybody some credit.
I rather randomly shared a cab with him from Milton Keynes to London (Virgin Trains breakdown...), just after he had been in State of Play. Nice bloke.
It sounded like such a travesty of the comic that, in spite of my fondness for watching Angelina Jolie shoot stuff, I still couldn't be bothered to watch the thing.
@andy: I'd argue with crowe on that one. Punter has made some shocking captaining decisions recently and his record is about to go down the pan. Crowe is a monosyllabic moron; well boring on the TMS interview.
i think all this hoo-ha around ponting will dry up very quickly if they win at edgbaston.
lords was a very important toss to win - we had by far the best of the pitch and the weather on the first day, the aussies had to bat under cloud and high humidity day two and they got at least 4 dodgy top order decisions. the match was essentially won in those first two days. if the aussies bat first on a belter at edgbaston we could easily be struggling to save the game again - possibly with a very shaky 3 and 4 (bopara and bell/key). the aussies bowling can only improve, and shaun marsh should be opening instead of hughes.
i'm not sure marsh is even in the squad though and it seems weird. he was opening regularly a year or so ago and he plays late, straight and very orthodox - ideal for english conditions i reckon.
