Me, Angry Man, Ugg.

On the 23rd of November I went to the cinema with K to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, seemed like a decent film from what I saw of it …

It just so happened that the tallest guy with the fattest head on the planet was sat in front of me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m 6ft 3 and can appreciate that if I sit completely upright at the cinema, the person behind me isn’t going to be able to see the screen. Yes I can appreciate that it’s bad to slouch but a little consideration wouldn’t go a miss.

So I sat there, for 2h 30 minutes while I played “dodge the fat head in view”, He seemed to have a knack of moving just as I did, I should have said “excuse me, could you slouch a bit” , or perhaps slap him on the head, but I didn’t, as I’m British.

While I’m having a moan, a couple of weeks ago we went to see “In Her Shoes”, Me, K, my sister and cousin (I was the only bloke so I was bullied into seeing it). Throughout the entire film we had a running commentary from a guy; we shall call him “Mr Camp as you like”. Every scene where something pivotal was about to happen, he would pipe up and as loud as he could “Oh, she’s going to die now”, after about 2 hours of this (yes another long film) K piped up and said “I don’t recall paying for commentary too”, just loud enough for him to hear. Yet he didn’t shut up, even my sister was in evil stare mode.

So in conclusion fellas, “In Her Shoes” is worth seeing for Cameron D’s arse and the new Harry Potter film is good as long as you can see it.

Driving, Phones and Other Stuff

Driving
I recently went to Edinburgh to a wedding, which was excellent, But driving to and from was a nightmare, I don’t know if I was suffering from a case of road rage but everyone seemed to have forgotten how to use their indicators, after being cut up on the motor way for the 10th time I was starting to get frustrated, Before you say it, No I don’t drive like miss daisy, I do change lanes, indicate accordingly and generally have some respect for other people on the road.

The other thing about motorway driving is the people in the middle lane hanger-oners who just sit there at 65 not really overtaking anything, it’s my road too, get out of my way!

We’ll that’s enough of a rant, didn’t really have a point just found it really frustrating.

Phones
I’ve just upgraded my phone from a Nokia 6230 to a Sony Ericsson K750i , which is ace, 2 Mega pixel Camera , mp3 player , 64mb duo card (not enough for mp3’s but can be upgraded to 1gig for about £60), The camera will come in handy as the Nokia VGA cam was really starting to show its age.

I also read that if I want to I can upgrade the firmware from the 750i to a W800 (Sony walkman phone) So I get all the mp3 extras, The only problem being that it invalidates my warranty, But the best bit is that the line rental is only 1.99 a month .. Wait, there is a catch, In order to get the money back I have to send of my 4th, 8th and 12th bill to the supplier, then I’ll receive a check from them 

Other Stuff
I watched the first episode of spooks Series 4 the other day, I recommend you watch it, all the old cast are dead, not that they were bad, but you won’t need to watch all 3 series to catch up.

A Few things...

Golf
When I was younger I used to play a lot of golf, Its fair to say I can hit the ball pretty well but my consistency is non-existent , the past four weeks I've been playing at least once a week and I can see a noticeable improvement (being a 9 year gap between when I "really" played) , I'm going to try and get my handicap down to 0 over the next year, I'll keep you posted on this blog, who knows you could see me in competition.

Films
Joe Dirt - 5/5 “very silly and I've seen it in double figures now”

A Little background, Joe Dirt is a stereotypical redneck that was left at the Grand Canyon as a child while on a daytrip with his parents; the plot revolves around him trying to find his parents, Hilarity ensues

If you've not seen this film, I recommend you watch it.

Its £7.99 delivered from play, you know you want to … Joe Dirt - The Movie

World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft is a MMORPG , which means that you can have thousands of real people online at the same time, interacting in a virtual world, When I say world I joke you not , check it out http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/map.html.

In this world there are good and evil, these are the horde and the alliance, I won’t go into the back story as it spans three other strategy games.

If you play WoW you can find me on Runetotem most of the time, my name is Smc.
