Luke - Super boy

By Day... mild mannered child (yeah right)

By Night... SUPER BOY!!!

Julie's new friend Huey

Last night Julie and her friend Katie went out for a few sociable drinks.

Me being the "dedicated and good" husband that I am stayed up and picked them both up and drove them home :) When Julie got back she had a good night and wanted a nice cuppa... which I promptly made ;)

However... as we were both sat enjoying a nice cuppa char, Julie suddenly launched herself up from the couch and ran to the toilet.

I was then entertained :) with sounds of "HHHHHEEEEUUUUUUYYYY" for an hour. During each visit to "the bowl"... all I could hear was... "but I've only had five drinks".

Lets say a good night had by all (or some of us).


WII UPDATE
***********
I also tried to con Julie into letting me have a WII last night whilst drunk... and she still said NO!!!!

I was trying yesterday evening to be a goog husband, and encourage the purchase of the best console on the market: making tea, giving lifts, making supper...

And still she said NO!!! :(

Luke Using the Force

I don't think your going to fit in there Luke!



Use the FORCE son... use the FORCE

Robin Hood and Hartshead

Bleedin' eck! Whilst researching Patrick Stewart...

Apparently Robin Hood is/was burried somewhere in my local village: Hartshead on Wikipedia

Patrick Stewart and Mirfield

Recently I had a convesation about Patrick Stewart "Jean Luc Picard on Star Trek" coming from the village 2 minutes down 't road from me.



And I think I wasn't believed :D... and for the Doubting Thomas:

Patrick Stewart on WikiPedia

Something I didn't know was that he was a journalist for my local newspaper... The Dewsbury Reporter.

Keep on trekkin' :D

YouTube: Star Wars 30th Anniversary

Found this Star Wars classic fan video:

And we all know that Star Wars and Lego go hand in hand:



Eek Star Wars and Monty Python


Lol Star Wars vs Star Trek


Lol... What happened after the death star blew up


Lol... Star Wars Help Desk


Star Wars Mistakes

OUCH!

My son to all outward appearances is quiet and loveable... however as most children he has his moments of "madness".

Anyway... I was peacefully lying in bed this morning (asleep) to be woken up by Luke grabbing me by the eyeball!!!

And I have photographic evidence of the injuries:

The Zutons - Excellent Cover Track

Since hearing this on Radio 1 sometime ago I have been trying to find it and et voila...

"Higher and Higher" - The Zutons cover on the Colin Murray show on Radio 1.

The Zutons are ace and this track is a bloody brilliant cover... search this page and click the play button :)

Tracks from TV and Movies on iTunes

I did post these last night between 11-12 in the evening whilst quite drunk on lots of lovely Stella Artois.

I woke up for a call of nature at 5 a.m. like you do after a night on the town... and realised I had made loads of "drunken" posts and immediately paniced and rushed to switch the PC on and disabled the posts (luckily I did :)).

Anyway... here is the condensed version without any drunken drivell.

Song from Lost
Watch Season 2 of Lost and the track which Desmond is playing in the bunker is quite catchy - "Dream a Little Dream Of Me" - Mama Cass:

Song from ER advert:
I keep seeing this advert for ER... I hate ER, but the backing track is quite catchy :)
Download and enjoy "Away from Here" by The Enemy, from iTunes:

Song from 50 First Dates
Think Wizard of Oz meets Hawaii and what do you get:

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I first heard this on the Soundtrack for 50 First Dates and to be honest it is excellent.

Download it and listen, its one of my current favourites and def. worth a listen:

Nostalgia...

I was in the pub last night, supporting the darts team (actually getting drunk and pretending to know what I talk about... actually this is what i do most days at work, except sober :D).

Anyway... heard this classic track from An American Werewolf in London ... and to be honest its still ace after nearly 40 years.

Anyway... download and listen: "Bad Moon Rising" by John Fogerty. I challenge anyone to disagree ;) and its a 79p Bargain on iTunes.

Here is the link (if you have iTunes):

Luke's First (?)

It seems like the Nintendo revolution is underway... everyone I know (friends and work) have all been buying or ordering WII Consoles and Accessories.

To celebrate the revolution and because I have had nowt to do all night and DON'T want to watch "Grease is the Word!"... Here are some funny WII related videos care of YOU TUBE.

WII Hazards

WII Boy

WII Safety Video

PS3 vs WII Argument

Maybe Santa will bring me one :)

Dear Santa:

Luke's First Car

For the past few months Luke has been obsessed with "The Wiggles" an Australian Kids show... We made the unfortunate mistake of buying some Wiggles DVDs, to then have Luke repeatedly watch them (over and over and over again)!

It has been driving me and Julie slightly mad.

The Wiggles have a "Big Red Car":

Whenever Luke sees a Red Car he gets excited and... "Wiggles! Car!". The other week whilst visiting his friend Jack, he played on his "Little Tikes Cozy Coupe" and loved it. We kept showing him the car in the Argos catalog in the following weeks, and each time it was "Wiggles! Car!".

Being the big softy parents we are Julie and me rushed out and bought him his own Big Red Car (although we made him use his own pocket money ;) ).

He loves it... and every morning he wakes up "Wiggles! Car!" (no joke).

Beep beep... chugga chugga... Big Red Car... Happy driving Son :)

Lego Batman

Apparently the next Lego game will be... Lego Batman! and is being written by Travellers Tales the authors of the Star Wars Lego games.

Can't wait for this one to come out :)

Spider-man 3 - A huge disappointment

Oh dear!

I would only recommend seeing this film if:

a) You want to waste 2 hours and 40 minutes of your life
b) Want a cure for insomnia
c) Fancy Kirsten Dunst ;)

It is more interesting than this review though ;)

The film (as everyone says) is about an hour too long. And this is because it has too much padding and focuses on the alter ego-s of the super heroes, villains and friends. In most films a bit of this is acceptable but they have gone a little too far in this one.

All three villains are good, but the film doesnt focus on them enough and doesnt have enough fight sequences between them. To be honest... they should have had one or maybe two villains like the other films and given them proper screen time.

And the final nail in the coffin... The dance and the John Travolta strutting sequences in the middle of the film uuuggghhh.

Bruce Campbell saves the middle of the film with an outstanding cameo (as usual in Sam Raimi's films :)).

4/10 ... only watch this on DVD and only if someone lends you it or you find it lying abandoned in the street.

My new BLOG!!!

I finally got around to creating a blog site... but unusually for me I have absolutly nothing to say ;)
