Well you do get an added penguin short, just like the old 2 films at the cinema for your money history. And as a short it’s rather good and then there’s the Nat Geog ad for a penguin film.
However the big thing is the sheer number of screaming, swearing little hoodies at the cinema. Go in the afternoon when they are in school, not this week of course. Or the middle of the night!!
As for the film, it pressed all the right buttons, it was funny but it was missing something. And that something was originality, sorry but it’s not new. Or maybe me just getting old. Where’s Team America when you need them 🙂

The Next Big Thing

I know it’s a bit early but it’s only 9 weeks to Christmas (or so I was told). So what’s going to be the big thing in 2006. Well, in 2004 it was RSS and this year it was Podcasting. So my thoughts for 2006 are that things will just expand, especially with the Apple Nano and it’s video support. 2006 will be the year of the Video Podcast, no great shock there 🙂
Â
And the other big thing is that everything will talk to everything else wirelessly.  Either by Bluetooth or WiFi or more likely both. WiFi cameras are already here with products from Nikon & Kodak.Â
Â
Mmm more convergence!!
Â
More less money 🙂Â

Unlike the musical, no singing. Unlike Pride, no dancing. Rather dark, well shot countryside scenes and perfect for the autumn. No Helen Hunt references.

As they start and as they finish. Good old Five Live (DAB) had the qualifying for the Chinese GP on this morning. The last of a much better season. And in the warm autumn sun this afternoon, I plant my summer onions, Senshyu Yellow. Finished eating this years and now on my 99p Focus reds.
Â
Anyway onto Mr Grumpy. 20 stone women and dissing Formula One. I’m with Larry on this one.Â

Nothing to do with Gwen but Autumn is finally here. The leaves on the trees have changed colour and the road are full of those who have dropped from the trees. There’s a nip in the air and just in case I’ve gone to 10.5. The smock is clean and ready to go.
Bonfire night is just around the corner and next Thursday Lidl’s start to sell fireworks. My summer onions are here, so it must be Autumn.
Dream Team starts again this weekend 🙂

Well, Patch Wednesday in the UK. 8Mb of holes fixed, maybe? Up early to get them while the USA sleeps. Still better safe than sorry. Oh yes, bought my first roll of Christmas wrapping paper today.
Church Street to become a F1 circuit?

The weather not me. Dark all the way going upto Ebbw Vale, misty, drizzly sort of weather. And what about the North Atlantic oscillation? Anyway Lidl’s start to sell fireworks from the 20th. May get my new year ones at the same time. Funny how things keep turning full circle. And then there was Christmas 🙂

Well why not, apart from the money and leave. In the mean time, it’s Sunday, the sun is shining and I’ve won a tenner on the lottery (no begging letters please).
