Films I wanna see...

There are some great films coming up. OK I know they are not deep and meaningful, but who cares...

All trailers are child safe, any you fancy??

Knowing

Monster Vs Aliens

Transformers 2-Revenge of the fallen.

Race to Witch Mountain -Can anyone remember these Disney films from years ago? So excited they have made another.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Shamlessly postponed form last year this finally gets released this summer.

These are just some I'm gonna enjoy watching on the hige screen

Fire them all!

The Apprentice returned last night. A bunch of people with the egos the size of Britain.. Not only do they not have a clue they would sell your Granny and turn on each you and each other in a instant to get ahead.

Add to that the two stooges.

I know it's early days, but maybe they all should be fired?

Let's see what happens....

A tale of 2, 3 or 4 cities...

I'm not much for London really, I like going down there to see a show for the weekend. We've seen the sites many times and they are impressive but to be honest all I think about when I go down there is how rude the people are, how crowded the place is. Not too mention how expensive it is (£33 for 5 drinks I'll have you know!) Plus why are people always rushing?? The amount of times people actually push past you is laughable.

My favorite city in the UK is Edinburgh. Even though it's a capital city there is a charm there that I don't find in many places. The people are friendly and it isn't that expensive.

I love San Fransisco when was there a few years back. Picture prefect, with that charm factor again and people who are just happy to help.



Las Vegas is totally different, bold brash and like nothing you have seen before. I can totally understand why people say they hate it, but to me it's a great place to go. It has a different kind of charm and as long as you accept it for what it is you'll be fine. The Edinburgh and Las Vegas pics are from the Internet, I do have some stunning ones....somewhere! Where are your favorite cities to vist?

Fabulous...

We all had a great time in London this weekend. The hotel was lovely with a not so bad view ( the tip of that domed building as seen in The Apprentice was the view from my window!) With a big fat breakfast buffet to boot....yum!

Priscilla Queen of the Desert.. Was one of the best theatre productions we'd all seen in a long time!

The screen to stage version transferred over really well. Concentrating more on the comedy, it was still very moving in parts. Jason Donovan was terrific, but the real star was Tony Sheldon who played aging transsexual Bernadette. When the show started the first half just flew by and it was impossible not to sit there smiling. An absolute feel good show.

There has been a lot of criticism about this being another "jukebox musical". It was much more than that, the musical numbers didn't seem to be just there for the sake of it. they really added to the story (Don't Leave Me This Way was sung at a funeral) and the way they were delivered made you think they were done especially for the show.

We all loved it, and really wanna go again!

Theatre trip...

Off to London in about an hour for the weekend, well one night to be exact. Going to see the new musical Priscilla Queen Of The Dessert! One of my fav' films has had a theatre makeover and by all accounts it's pretty good (I'll tell the truth later) But there's a sample here (child safe don't worry)

Staying in a hotel near London Bridge and the London Eye so I hope we have nice views, not pretty car park or wall scenery.

Bah humbug!

What is it about jobsworths?? I work in a shop and serve the public. We, from time to time get asked to do things that are by far the norm. Is it a pain? Well yes sometimes, but I always do what I can so the customer goes away happy. With things ranging from Soda Bread with no butter, sugar, milk in to a ginger syrup sponge without the ginger and syrup. OK things can't always be done, but other things we try to do.

The binmen at work won't empty one of our bins because they are not supposed to (even though they are emptying a bin that contains the same sort of rubbish) You see we pay for that one to be emptied, the one they leave is next to that one, but still remains on the side of the road untouched.

Went out for a meal and the vegetarian choices have the option of either salad (boring) or jacket potatoe. "Can we have chips instead?" I ask. "Sorry sir it's only salad or jacket on those options". "But the meat eaters get the option of all three...chips salad or jacket" I reply. "If you want chips you'll have to pay the extra". The meat eaters don't have to pay I say getting a bit more angry "not really fair is it?". "It's the till you see sir, there's no option on it for us to change the side order for you". Getting even more annoyed I ask "well can't you just replace them?". "Sorry no, this is from head office".

One word-Arrrggghhhh! It's not like this everywhere of course but it does seem to be getting more and more common.

Why are things like this so much trouble, and are they really too much trouble? We really should take a leaf from our American friends where nothing is too much trouble.

3 hours of my life I won't get back...

Went to see Watchmen last night. At nearly a bum numbing 3 hours it was hard going, and totally not worth it. 3 hours of my life wasted!
