What a fantastic game!! I’m loving it – highly addictive, superb pitch of difficulty (puzzles get progressively harder – almost none are manageable at first attempt, but all of them are possible after several attempts, and can usually be beaten before you get naffed off / check the Internet), and awesome graphics. Well worth obtaining […]

This is a very long film – I’d strongly suggest seeing it somewhere that a) has no kids, and b) has an intermission. After about 2 hours I was getting fidgetty, and starting to mutter “get on with it”. To be honest I wasn’t greatly impressed with the film. Nothing wrong with it – very […]

Loadsa reviews to do! Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Rings. This is a very long film – I’d strongly suggest seeing it somewhere that a) has no kids, and b) has an intermission. After about 2 hours I was getting fidgetty, and starting to mutter “get on with it”. To be honest […]

Tomb Raider was actually better then I was expecting, because everyone had slated it so much. First of all the DVD is packed full of extras, which we like, and the sound (dolby digital) is reasonable too. It seemed to be heavily biased towards the bass, and the dialogue didn’t really seem to be loud […]

Sandra Bullock really shines though as FBI Special Agent Hart, who has to enter a […]

Been a little unwell of late, so no gym. Other excitements – started to knock down a wall in our new house – converting the bathroom and toilet into one. That’s a new experience for me (and a vvery messy one). Seen a couple of films recently – Tomb Raider and Miss Congeniality. Tomb Raider […]

Went to the gym again yesterday – did 15 minutes of running on the treadmill, followed by 5 minutes of rowing, with a couple of weights mixed in. Felt good actually – going to try and go climbing tommorow, and then the gym again on Friday, combined with some crunches at home on the alernate […]

Few bits and pieces. Firstly, two series well worth watching – Smallville (Channel 4, Sundays, about 18.30) about Superman as a teenager.. and secondly Enterprise (Sky 1, Mondays @ 20.00 and repeated Sundays @ 16.00) the prequal to Str Trek TOS. Other news – well started going to the gym again.. getting off to a […]

Just time for a quick plug – just moved my eutony domains to 123reg.co.uk, a very cheap and excellent company, it would seem! (see ad at far bottom left)

Happy New Year
