i watched the Zoltan film today. It is the only film I have seen in months that didn't make me cry, and only because it was the stupidest thing I have seen in many a year. I then watched the reader to rebalance the sobbing quota. |

Yes! The Zohan film! You know, as I was typing that I thought 'I'm sure there was an 'h' in it, but couldn't work out where an h might it in 'Zohltan', 'Zholtan'. Anyway, yes - the foot guy. Very silly. I have not heard of Lilya 4-ever, Throughsilver, though I am trying to cheery myself up, so won't keep an eye out to watch it quite yet  Are you especially little, Albino? |

Have you worked out your signal/noise ratio?  Had Left 4 Dead in the post today so I've been giving that a whirl tonight. Played through the first campaign and um, it's ok I suppose. I'm only playing it in single player though so that might be why it's not really grabbing me so far. |

Old Michael Foot died yesterday... Met him in 2003, aged 90, and he looked impossibly frail and ancient even then, so he seemingly had the longevity gene to keep going those extra years. |

I'm at work outside a client's that I rushed like fuck this morning to get to at 7:30am appointment only for them not to be here. Forgot me bastard phone as well - luckily their wireless reaches the parking bay outside so I can look at Amazon for the 'Gaywood-Pic-A-Tron magic people capturing device' and decide if I should buy that or a condenser for my daughter's bedroom. Opportunity cost here is marriage basically. Tough one. |

Basically do I buy that rather nifty camera Gaywood has or something that will get rid of the condensation in my daughter's bedroom? My appointment turned up 25 minutes late and it was just a simple drive mapping issue. That's not going to pay for a new camera now is it? |

Buy the camera and give your daughter a picture of a condenser. |

I was going to say "buy the camera and open the window"  By condensor you mean dehumidifier? Also: get some wall insulation added if you don't have it, and stop drying clothes on radiators if you do that. You knew that already though

Correct. Someone pointed out that they have a newish record called "electric car". It's.. a bit odd. Really good video though, I think it's on youtube, worth a look. |

Yesh. It's from Here Comes Science which is their latest (sigh) "kids" album. Worth picking up naturally. I hated Electric Car when I first heard it, but then somehow it grows on you. |
