    Star Wars just doesn't do it for me. I can usually appreciate why some people would like something even if I didn't, but I've never seen the appeal of that collection of films.

    Yep. Going with Fable on the 17th at 11:45am

    She's not happy with it being so early.

    Kids eh?

    I'm going on the 21st.... apparently the wife seems to think that her birthday on opening night is more important than the new Star Wars movie...

    Tbh, I think those that love Star Wars to obsession are the ones who really need the trip to the doctor.

    It's been reported that a US company sold absolutely nothing at all, online to the public, during Black Friday last. Each purchase of nothing at all cost US$5 to each purchaser. Some people bought more than one amount of nothing at all. This year they made US$71,000 profit on the day. They announced they were keeping every cent.

    Oddly, I feel a certain admiration. :)

    Thanks, I've signed it, although I do have a bit of curiosity as to how he'd do if he was allowed entry as long as he appeared on Question Time or was grilled by John Humphreys on the Today programme.

    They didn't keep all the money, they split the funds raised between all employees and published what they purchased online - almost all donated a sum to charity!

    Really? The main characters include a big hairy lump of a being who mumbles away to himself, a dweeby little berk who thinks women love him and a bloke who doesn't realize just how old he is and wears silly clothes, all zipping about in different modes of transport, some of which looks like it's been thrown together by a drunken welder who stumbled across a scrap yard on his way home from the pub .... I thought you'd love it.

    Oh, that and in 1977, when it was just so far ahead of it's time, your mum, like me, was probably chasing round a playground somewhere :), so you have no chance of appreciating it's beginnings from the perfect age.

    Edit: Having said that, my now 14 year old son was sat down aged 4 for Film 1 in his father/Son bonding plan and has been hooked ever since.
