I tried Jaffa Cakes for the first time since the local supermarket opened up an import Aisle. They were enjoyable if a bit dry

Both.

Right now I bruised my right foot really bad. I mean I've had bruises before but it's like 75% of right foot is covered in bruises.

I'm hopeful that something I've been working on and off for 15 years is about to come an end and I'll tell you once I know for sure. It may not mean a lot to a lot of people here but it does means a LOT to me.

God I wish I was smarter. My poor brain doesn't want to think anymore after a day of trying to wrap my head around topics I should have learned over a decade ago.

I'm watching Totally Spies! I remember this when it was a proper terrestrial channel over here, rather than buried on some rubbish kids channel (POP - usually full of Dora The Explorer). I don't know what telly is like in the rest of the world, but once upon a time, telly in the UK was properly ace on a weekend. You'd have kids magazine shows on the two main terrestrial channels BBC1 and ITV, and then Channel 4 would have a teen orientated bunch of shows ('T4'). Then the multi-channel age properly kicked in over here in the last 10 years and ruined telly forever.

Now, the main terrestrial channels fill their schedules with cookery shows, reality telly and soap operas, with endless re-runs of Murder She Wrote (why?), Channel 4's excellent T4 has morphed into E4 and runs no end of Hollyoaks (a really badly acted soap opera that's like Logan's Run as there's no one over the age of 30 in it) and American sitcoms of varying degrees of awful (although I do like a bit of Two Broke Girls) and children's telly is buried in the higher echelons of the channel listings, nestling weirdly between porn and religious oddballs (which may explain a lot...).

ANYWAY! Totally Spies is still totally ace and makes me very happy

I remember Totally spies when it debuted as one of the pre teen action shows that was part of the block to replace Toonami's weekly spot. Was entertaining along with Code Lyoko and the other french and canadian cartoons that dominated that time slot.

Bought some Thomas DVDs before we moved; watching them with the youngster while I'm supposed to be working on stuff.

Thought they were the "Thomas and Friends" modern CGI series that the kid is used to watching but the packaging was a bit misleading and they turned out to be the older series. No big deal, the small one likes them... But Gordon's face kinda creeps me the eff out.

Proper Thomas with Ringo Starr? That's some real culture for her.

"She's gone off a bit since The Spy Who Loved Me.

Said Thomas"

Yes. It's weird, I expected the Fat Controller to be called so on these DVDs, but it runs with the "Sir Topham Hatt" stuff too.

"I am Thomas' representative on Earth. He speaks through me" etc etc...

I'm going to be doing this bit for a week at least.

There is no Topham Hat, only Thomas

Rock Profiles was awesome. Such a shame they followed this up with Little Britain...

Little Britain was alright for one series then it got really bad really fast. I watched it on Netflix and thought it was pleasant enough and remembered all the bits from when I was 12 but then series two came on and I was sick into my hands and couldn't stop weeping.

Only LB sketch I particularly enjoyed was the fella that goes into a shop and asks for stuff they don't sell "Do you have a picture of a perturbed owl?", rest of it was shite.

I am currently having a pepsi within ten feet of Sir Roger Moore.

EDIT: And I'm the only person not taking a picture of him as he's eating. He's going to be doing a Q&A on a stage only slightly further behind him in a minute folks!

So good news to the Dalek lurking the forum, decided to nab his book on my next paycheck but I'll be damned if I can decide on what toy to nab to bring in and start my collection up after so long.

Once you've got The Book you don't need anything else in life.

I also ordered the good book this morning, to read the words of the inflatable one and cleanse myself of sin.

An inflatable boy is going through his teenage years and having a rough time of it. He's sulking in his inflatable chair at the back of the inflatable classroom of his inflatable school when he's called to see the inflatable headmaster.
He goes to the inflatable office and he's given a telling off. As he's sat there, looking at the inflatable floor as his inflatable headmaster shouts at him, something snaps. He grabs a pair of scissors and slashes wildly; at the headmaster, at the walls, running through the school slashing at the cage he feels trapped in. He reaches the end of the corridor and stabs himself.

He wakes up in hospital, patched up and reinflated. His inflatable headmaster is stood looking at him. He sighs, and says:
"You've let me down. You've let the school down. But worst of all, you've let yourself down."

We must all remember that Inflatable Book is love, Inflatible Book is life. Inflatable Book is EXTERMINATE!

Getting pestered near daily about delivering more grandkids=head asplodey.

Edit: I think I've finally rolled my eyes and grumbled enough because it hasn't happened since I made this post. Yayyyyyyyyy.

My kid just ran into the room, stepped on a Hello Kitty colouring book, slid across the floor on one foot, bumped into the bed and somehow miraculously did not fall on her face but rolled onto the bed instead. Then sat up and went "WHEE, FUN!". It was amazing.

Also, my husband is attempting an Irish accent. Does anyone want a slightly obnoxious American? You will just need to pay shipping.

Don't try pawning him off on the rest of us. You smuggled him into the country, he's your problem now.
