Just finished Withnail & I - he forms part of one of the most awkward scenes in film! Great actor.

Aww hope she's alright. Any plans for the weekend? Maybe some gardening now the snows gone? Not too early to plant those pansies.

Figure 8 knot? I'm on it.

Very good thanks, I just learnt how to tie a bowline. Thought it might come in handy when global warming strikes and I have to trek across a frozen Europe to rescue you guys.

How about you DL?

Useful for when you come climbing with us, except that we use a 'figure of 8 knot' now. Not too bad myself, just about recovered from a 'granddaughter' induced cold and I've got the day off babysitting today as it's a Bank Holiday ;¬)

Had to wrestle the Wii U controller away from my eldest who didn't want to stop playing Lego City.

Sad to see Richard Griffiths go. :(

I'll post a review in that thread if I end up getting it. I think it had some tough competition in the cinemas so wasn't a huge success.

Anyone seen Rise of the Guardians? Was it any good? I ask because it still hasn't even been released here (in cinemas) yet and I noticed I can already get it on itunes UK.


Not seen it yet, but the kids want to watch it, so I'm sure we will at some point. Think it got fairly good reviews.

[i]By the way Paul have you played the Ghibli game Ni No Kuni yet?

I have. Very good game in some respects, others... horrendous. The art, story and characters are all postiive, the battle system woeful (think Pokemon, but with AI like your pet goldfish...).

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it's a case of getting a certain set of familiars, then using whatever tactic makes that battle easier so that you can compensate for negligent AI. Samey.[/i]

I saw some lets plays of it and I really love the Ghibli art style and characters. The battles did look very confusing though. I'll give it a go then. Thanks Warhunt.
