Is "COOL RUNNINGS" (a jamican bobsled team) Based off of a true story?
It is about jamican bobsled team, the very first one, and they make it to the olmpics. Is it based off of a true story?? thank you soo muh for your time and help


Yes, the movie was based on a true story, of course when Hollywood gets involved you are never sure how much truth remains in a story.

In Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics Jamaica really did have a 4-man bobsleigh team that qualified.

I am sure movie stretched the truth for dramatic purposes.

Why won't my boyfriend stop saying it when he knows it winds me up? Do I look like noel fielding? (link fixed)?
I love my boyfriend to bits and things are going great with him so this is going to sound incredibly petty but it’s a recurrent arguement between us.

He keeps saying I look like Noel Fielding from the mighty boosh, a few people have said it before aswell and it does my head in. I say to him that he’s saying I look like a man but he says noel fielding looks like a woman so he’s not. He calls me pretty and things but if he says I look like noel fielding how can he really think i’m pretty? i’ve told him I don’t like him saying it and tried to stop him but he just laughs it off.

Is he not saying I look like a man? How do I get through to him how much it upsets me/

Here’s a pic of me do I look like noel fielding or a man?

I think your Boyfriend needs Glasses , Or it is! wishful thinking on his part! LOL
Legion | Feb 05, 2010


try stopping the conversation at once whenever he makes a mention of you like that. this will definitely make him think that he has irritated you and that u r sad. elso just leave the place at once bidding him bye so as to make him realise his mistake. saw ur pic, u very much look like girl and pretty too with a beautiful smile. keep it up. and show him his way, when he disrespects your feelings. he who does not understand others feelings and who under estimates it cannot be a good human, rather not even a boyfriend. pls decide what to do. either try to take on the right path or chuck him out of your life and mind. ALL THE BEST :-)

ASHLEY | Feb 05, 2010

Johnny no hats | Feb 05, 2010


Either he needs to go to Specsavers…Or he secretly fancies Noel….lol
Steve Uk | Feb 05, 2010


You’re much prettier than this Noel guy is! You look like you could be distantly related, though…

Don’t worry, I’ve been told that I look like a (male) rockstar before. -.-;;

Stationary bike, health and fitness questions. help?
I bought a inside stationary flywheel bike recently. Do you think riding 14 km (9 miles) a day will help me lose fat on my stomach and love handle areas? will it help tone my legs and thunder thighs? and will it get rid of a forming double chin?
im not fat or over weight i just want to lose some of my unwanted fat on different parts of my body.
please help.
thank you !


It will help you lose weight all over but it will probably only tone your legs. It is a good cardio exercise. Personally, I run and it helps me stay fit all over but it only tones my legs and butt.

IMDB rating: 6.90

Plot: A moving tale about the power of the human spirit, Peaceful Warrior is based on Dan Millman’s perennially best-selling autobiographical novel, Way of the Peaceful Warrior. In the film, Scott Mechlowicz plays Dan, a talented-yet-arrogant college gymnast with Olympic dreams and a golden future. The athlete thinks he has it all: bookcases of trophies, endless friends, fast rides and disposable relationships. But all that is about to change. One day, Dan’s world is turned upside down after a chance meeting with a mysterious stranger he comes to know as Socrates (Nick Nolte)-a man who holds the power to tap into new worlds of strength and understanding. After he suffers a debilitating injury, with the mystical help of Socrates and an elusive young woman named Joy (Amy Smart), Dan will grow to realize that strength of spirit is what leads a man to his true greatness. From a screenplay by Kevin Bernhardt, Peaceful Warrior is directed by Victor Salva and produced by Mark Amin, Cami Winikoff, Robin Schorr and David Welch.

Is she leading me on?
This may be a little on the long side, so bear with me. A couple of days ago, I took advantage of some unexpectedly nice weather and made the hour-plus drive to the beach. While there, I noticed a gorgeous redhead sitting on the sand, so I walked up to her and introduced myself. We chatted for a few minutes and I found her to be just as nice as she was beautiful, not to mention super-smart (she’s an anesthesiologist). Eventually, she had to leave, so as she was getting up, I asked her if she would have accepted my invite to dinner if we lived in the same area, and she replied, "Of course!" I used her answer to ask her if she wanted to stay in touch, and we ended up exchanging phone numbers. The next day (yesterday), I found her on Facebook and sent her a friend request to make sure she hadn’t forgotten me.
Here’s where the problem comes in. I went to Google a little later and looked up her number to make sure it wasn’t fake. The good news: it was her legit phone #. The bad: she had two last names, the universal sign of a married woman (she didn’t have a ring on when I met her). Surprised, I went back to FB and looked her up again, and sure enough, on her friend list, there was a guy with her same (second) last name. She never mentioned a husband during our conversation, so you might understand if I was a little pissed off. So many questions to ask:
Was I right to Google her phone #?
Why would she give me her number if she was married (assuming she is; for all I know, she could be separated or divorced)?
I told her I’d call her this weekend; should I follow through, and if I do, should I mention what I discovered?
If she isn’t married anymore, is it worth it to have her as a friend in the hopes it could develop into something more?
Am I making too much of this?
I know it’s a lot of info, but you guys come up with good answers more often than not. Thanks in advance.


She sounds interested in you. Even if she is married there doesn’t sound like there is anything there with her husband, no ring and all. I would definitely call her and see whats going on. The whole marriage thing is a good question for a first date assuming you get that far. Sounds like you’re thinking about this too much. Bottom line, if she gave you her number, she’s interested.

The guy with the same last name could be her brother. And check her status on facebook and see what it says. If she is married, you should stay away.

Turn tail and run before you get attached.

I can bet you, that nasty taste will crop up again at some point.
Borayda | Oct 30, 2009


yeah you always want to make sure it’s legit. No dont’ discover thats for your own record keeping. You see you just met her. So a question like that shouldn’t really spark until later on when yall really talking and bonding on a friend level. She just probably a nice girl that wants to makes friends or is willing to cheat. SO YOU REALLY dont know. Just play it cool and if she isn’t who she say she is then bust her
haitiancreole101 | Oct 30, 2009


DUDE, please don’t interrogate this woman, you just met her! Knowing what you know, why don’t you let it come out if you continue to talk to her. If it doesn’t, then you know she’s hiding something. She also might get a little creeped out by you tracking her down on the internet. You sound like a very forward person, which is fine, but there are times when you need to back down. She probably enjoyed the attention. But give her the benefit of the doubt first. SHe might be going through a divorce. Get to know her, through her, not what you find online.
*** | Oct 30, 2009


just call her like you said you would
and tell her what you found out.and ask her if she is divorced or separated. and if she says she is still married tell her you wanna be friends. or if she says she is in the process of divorce then still go out to dinner with her
Kaity | Oct 30, 2009


ok dude. dont overeact . if you say she is nice and smart i doubt she was lying to you. her parents might not have been married so she had a double-barred name and that boy you were talking about on her friends list.. he could of been her half brother. of couse your accusations make sense but dont accuse her of anything too soon. let her explain.
