Raining, and the forecast is more rain for the next few days. We mustn't moan, the countryside & reservoirs need it, and let's face it, we get more than our fair share of sunny warm days here on the CDS.
Took my lady to see 'Skyfall' last night, along with Sis in Law and her better half. Great film, thoroughly enjoyed it. Special effects now are absolutely stunning, and to think that Dan Craig did many of his own stunts - wow! Cinema was full too, which was great. Apart from the usually zombies who arrive late. I've said it before but I do wish the powers that be in the cinema would close the doors as soon as the main feature starts, and refuse entry to latecomers. Is it too much to ask that people show decent manners, and arrive in good time so that they don't spoil other people's enjoyment?
Whilst we're on the subject, why do people not visit the loo before the movie starts? I had to let 2 people pass by me. If they have a weak bladder, fair enough, but they should sit on the front row nearest the blasted entrance door! Maybe film lengths should be determined by the endurance state of the weakest bladder? No! That wouldn't work....young girls go out in two's and three's every fifteen minutes. Why is that? Do they need someone to stand outside the cubicle door like the Queen's Lady in Waiting to ensure no telltale 'tinkle' can be heard? Or is it to debrief on which boy looks hot in Row number 6?
The villain of Skyfall was someone I've never seen before. He was excellent. The film industry is a bit like Anne Robinson, always looking for a new face. I think they have struck gold with this new guy, he was really good.
Nearly finished 'The Saturday Pledge'. Last few chapters to go. Every time I say that a new plot idea hits me that I just can't leave out. I'm already on over 100,000 words. There's more twists and turns in it than the Coalitions policies.
A Tory Home Secretary once asked me what they should do about the Pornography Bill. I told him to pay it.
I can't stand innuendo. If I see one written mistakenly in any of my books, I immediately whip it out.
Whilst in London recently I saw Jeremy Clarkson crossing the busy road. I prayed and wished and prayed and wished, but alas, he made it safely to the other side. Bugger!!!
My daughter doesn't think her sixteen year old daughter is ready for the pill, so she keeps giving her a placebo.
My dad told me about sex just just before I got married, He said, "The Woman goes underneath and the man on top". For a year my wife and I slept in bunk beds.....
Soon be Christmas, I think it's always really lucky that December the 25th always falls on Christmas Day.
