Catching Zzzzzz's...

Well when I finally got home from work last night I caught a program called Nap Attack about Narcoleptic's [A disorder characterized by sudden and uncontrollable, though often brief, attacks of deep sleep, sometimes accompanied by paralysis and hallucinations]. Now although very funny seeing people fall alseep instantly at any given time I did feel sorry for them also as they had very different lives. This also made me think that maybe I have a slight form of it also as I feel tired most of the time too! So if anyone really wants to avoid work today just fall asleep and use this as a bloody good excuse, come on it's just there waiting to happen!

And in other news... Check out the Shadow puppets in 'Go look at' ------>
I laughed until I, well stopped laughing.

Film Critic...

Anyone who knows me will also know that I enjoy a movie or 5 and with the power of this wonderful internet thingy, I can watch anything at anytime. Trouble is the one thing that I cannopt get the PC to do is choose which movie is worth watching!
I have even taken the steps to try and find someone else online who has watched a load and reviewed or marked them in anyway.
So come on people of cyber space... Your mission, if you decide to accept it is:
What is there for me to watch [or what can I watch that my better half would want to watch as well!?]
This message will not self destruct in ten seconds, actually it's gonna last for ever on here.

The perils of Cocktails…….

When it was suggested for us to go for cocktails after work on a Thursday night I knew that I really should have said no. Started of very civilised until we found out it was 2 for 1 happy hour. Of course the sensible thing would have been to share the drinks out between us per round, but no, we decided to have 2 each per round. Think we managed to get through 6 rounds (that I remember). What I want to know is why the more alcohol I have the more I want to call people or text them talking complete and utter rubbish………..sorry if any of you were one of them. I even managed to waffle anyway to my trainer and haven’t got a clue what I said or if I have booked any session with him, so am going to have to call now and admit to going out drinking to much which I promised I would stop now I have started training. Yes it appears that Si is not the only person trying out healthy living, God knows how long it will last. Right I’m off to the pub…think I might leave my phone at home this time!

[80's] Popular Corn...

The movies, now we all remember these even those of you born after the event or are older than colour television! Why? Because this was the decade of some of the greats... Cults were born, legends were made. So good in fact that I have downloaded some of my favourite childhood movies for my son to now enjoy, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Back to the future, ET, The Goonies (never released on DVD over here to my knowledge) and of course Star Wars (again we are still waiting for the DVDs). Thats just some of them... Karate Kid, Rocky, Rambo, Nightmare on Elm street (remember how scared you were meant to be), Superman, Ferris B's Day Off, Police academy, Jaws and Short Curcuit to names but a few. Yes there were also the sequels and in some case prequels and more, some good some terrible. Now all of these are not as great as I remember them but most are, one thing they all have in common is they were definately all corny, fun and you wanted to be in them... well I did!

Cold Turkey...

OK after my failed atempt to start jogging each day and I maintain that it was only due to having to work away that this stopped. I have now started a diet, yes the dreaded 'D' word that so many women rant on about. I'm not one for eating like a pigeon and have always known that if I cut out the snack food I may solve the problem but that's easier said than done. No it's not the Atkins, instead I opted for the much more healthy South Beach Diet. If you haven't heard of it [and I hadn't until last week] it's based on eating the right kinds of food, Bill Clinton has been on it and lost loads of weight I hear... Trouble is he's now in hospital having heart bypass surgery! I'm sure the 2 are not linked.

Online life...

On a recent trip down the M42 motorway I was suprised to see a huge billboard advertising something completely new. Now I have seen many advertising 'Earn a fortune from Home', 'Car show here on...' and the normal 'Eat British beef' or 'Ban Hunting' aimed well at the 1000's of fed up business motorists. But this one was different, Online divorce from £23.99! How many motorists are fed up with more than just driving?

Seasoning...

i don't know what's happened to old mother nature but summer is over so the rain has stopped and the sun's shining! What always makes of laugh is as soon ah the sun is seen you're bound to see people dressed as if it was a heatwave... Oh and tomorrow count how many pink sunburnt bbq smelling people you meet! Right i'm off to a bbq.
