Okay so finally Andy and I got around to watching Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. We had been going to see it all weekend but ony managed it last night. So we ended up in Wimbledon Odeon. We had tried the Kingston one the night before but got waylaid enjoying dinner and it got way too late to see the movie.
So anyway back to Wimbledon.
Five minutes before the end. I know this because realistically there can’t have been much more left before the opening scenes of the original Star Wars, the film stopped. It wa slike someone had hit pause on the big DVD player. Then the announcement started and the sirens.
We were being evacuated from the building.
So we got the excitement of firemen and fire engines and standing ina big crowd waiting to see if we could watch the end or not. We decided to go for the seeing it again some other time option and headed back to Surbiton.
So I still can’t say I’ve seen the whole film.
Ah well better luck next time!

You smell!
No really and apparently gay boyz and straight boys smell differently. Scientists get paid to research anything these days I tell you.
playing it straight
Okay so I know it’s lowbrow but Playing it Straight has been one of my must watch TV programmes of recent weeks (alongside desperate Houswives and Dr Who).
We think we have seen Lee on gaydar but then this weekend it turns out that the face you think you know you actually do. It turns out Ben was Mr Gay UK in 1998.
When and upgrade is actually a downgrade
Okay so I’m all for progress and don’t get me wrong I’m not one of these people against change. I’m debating whether to upgrade to Tiger now or wait until I have bought a mini to justify it. I think my cube will need to be relegated to a server for the flat.
So anyway back to my point. I’ve been getting the upgrade to Quicktime 7 messages all week so finally did last night and hey presto no discernable difference. Oh no wait. Loads of features that used to work in 6.x no longer work in 7. How is that an upgrade? No more opening more than one movie. No more full screen. That is not an upgrade in my book. That’s a downgrade. Loss of functionality is never a good thing.
strange colloquialisms
So don’t ask what Dave and I were chatting about but…
that’s what we call it when you piss your pants
you “fire trucked”
So I learnt a new kiwi phrase today ;o)
stupid religious americans
I know that some people are blinded by religion but then to try and promote your hate on the internet. There should be laws against promoting hate and religion and narrow mindedness on the internet. Free Speech should not be at the expense of others. So anyway I give you (via The Peculiar One) Traditional Values – some neo nazi religious foundation no doubt – Homosexual Urban Legends. See and you can tell it’s far right bigotry when they refer to it as homosexual. Pah
