Well, it’s official – I am now Dr Handley. Got my bit of paper on Friday morning, and got to dress up in a fancy gown and hat! I know it’s all a very serious matter and all that, but it is a bit silly – doffing hats left right and centre, processing up the […]

Very speedy update – our Ben got home from Cornwall with his Mum yesterday, and he’s really grown! Got himself 2 teeth too (although he already had 1 nearly out when he went down. Also had another thought about speeding, which was one further reason for a speed limit is, of course, environmental in that […]

Here I am, blogging on the train again. This time I’m on the way to my cousin Emma’s wedding, in Gt Misssenden (which is Aylesbury way – we just left Rickmansworth, where I believe PGL Head Office is, and are now at Chorleywood, home of Soul Survivor. LBC not far either). Anyway, the inspiration for […]

Must have beeen desperate – three entries. Two nice suprises yesterday – firstly Blockbuster Video have got a new rental deal, whereby you can rent 3 older videos or DVDs for 7 days for 5 pounds. I guess it’s in response to operations like Lovefilm (indeed, I understand that Tesco is to do something similar). […]

There seems to be a bit of an Emmanuelle Beart renaiscance going on at the moment. Saw in Blockbusters that Nelly and Mr Arnaud is being re-released, and her new film Nathalie was being plugged in today’s Metro. If you’ve only seen her in Mission Impossible then you may wonder what the big deal is […]

Well having the lights re-wired at home, which has meant I’ve had to turn off my linux box. Having horrible withdrawal symptons about not being able to tinker with my website, so much so that I’m writing this on the train into my new(ish) Palm thingy. Will power her up tonight to regurgitate my aimless […]

Just found out that the next Harry Potter book is going to be called Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (who is neither Harry nor Voldy, apparantly). It’s on J.K. Rowling’s website, so it probably is true! No ETA, however. Also very excited because I got my letter of appointment to my new job […]

Well, finished Two Towers – got really into it by the end, and feel like I’ve been left hanging. Must visit video shop and get Return of the King. My half-hearted attempts at losing a bit of weight continue – I’m currently spot on 80kg (12 stone 8 in old money), which is fine for […]

Updated my to-see list again – dropped off King Arthur and The Terminal after considering that I’ve got more than enough films that I really want to see without adding ones that I’m not sure about! I’ve also taken Two Towers off – not that we’ve watched it yet, but we have started (are about […]

Another one bites the dust – Final Fantasy this time, thanks to Channel 5. Don’t think I’ll bother doing a full review – would have been wowed 3 years ago when it came out, now – not so sure..
