November! Went to the Leeds climbing wall last Tuesday, which was great. Going to try and go every week for a bit – at least until moving house issues come well and truly into the fore. No other excitements really – can’t wait to see Harry Potter!!

Just back from holiday (in Greece) – feeling tanned and refreshed, so that’s good. 🙂 Excitements? Well, the oz DVDs all worked (hurrah!), and both the Blues Brothers and Aliens are special editions, with extra previously unseen footage. The Blues Brothers had loads of new stuff – most of the songs extended, plus one or […]

Long time since last update – been busy! Just a quick rave about ezydvd.com.au (R4 DVDs from Oz – the online seller lin ked with dvd.net.au) – I ordered 3 DVDs on Thursday, they were dispatched on Friday, and arrived this morning (all of 3 working days later). They’re Blues Brothers, Aliens, and Eric Clapton […]

No great excitements – did a 3k row in the gym this morning, then played a little on the weights.. I couldn’t muster enthusiasm for anymore!

Long bank holiday weekend over – back to work!! Played Zone of the Enders over the weekend on the PS2 – finally a PS2 game that begins to do justice to the power of the machine!! Also played the playable demo of Metal Gear Solid 2 – WOW. I was blown away by this.. I […]

Saw Cast Away over the weekend – wasn’t really what I was expecting, can’t saw I really enjoyed it that much. I guess it was a good film though; I just didn’t enjoy it. Also played Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2. To be honest I was disappointed; perhaps my expectations were too high? Nothing […]

Finally started going to the gym! Been twice this week (intend to go two times every week).. Am going to do the ergo (rowing machine) – did 5k just now in 23.13 – nothing special but I’m starting slowly (and even that knackered me!!)

Got Enigma 1140 (A long, long road) right – haven’t managed to solve the last three though (1144, 1145, 1146), but I only looked at 1146 (Units fore and aft) for the first time today!

Found an even cheaper source of DVDs – Australia! DVD.net do dead cheap DVDs (mostly ‘cos of the strength of the pound against the aussie dollar – something like 1 UKP buys 2.77 AUS$) Couching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for UKP 13.56, Aliens:SE for UKP 8.41, or how about The Matrix for UKP 10.25, all including […]

Last day of July! Just a quick entry – found a very impressive retailer of Region 1 DVDs: North American DVD. I ordered Monty Python and the Holy Grail on Friday 20th, and it arrived on Friday 27th, with total cost of UKP 15.84 (and this was one of their more expensive DVDs). The online […]
