Is this going to turn into Gas Guzzling Money Pits by another name?

Anyway, about them car warranties, eh chaps....?

Only joking.

I saw Insurrection on Blu Ray last night, thought it was excellent, though must confess I'll need a second viewing.

Predators was pretty rubbish though, gutted. I love that kind of thing normally, even when it's obviously a bit rubbish - I even loved the Mortal Kombat films.

No, I think we're going to eat Werther's Originals and moan about 'those' young people.

Inception, shirley.

Fuck me, so much for my film critiquing skillz - yes, I need said second viewing to get the name of the film right.

So, 5 year rule not applying, how's about a 1997 Merc E230 estate, then?

Watching my family on the Wii Fit nearly makes me wee uncontrollably.

I had a go on one of these Christmas before last. I was laughably shite at most of the activities, most especially the hula hoop. Plus, it said I was 'obese' for my height - apparently, you can't enter width.

Good fun though, especially after a few beers. I must admit, I think the Wii is particularly good for 'family gatherings' type stuff?

Yep, we were all widdling ourselves watching whoever was on the thing on New Year's Day after a few bevvies. We were all present for the initial weigh-in and balance tests, which caused much amusement on their own, before we got anywhere near the actual exercises. So far I've only tried the snowboard, the weird balancy thing where you have to get your balls in the little holes,

Some science. For MaliA.

And I've been meaning to get more active and have a GP first round appointment to investigate trying to find a more permanent solution to my near constant back problems, which hopefully will help with motivation to get back into shape.

Anyone else going on a diet, then? I bloody well am, and if there's one thing that gets me down more than any other, it's frickin' diets. I love my food.

It's no good though, I've got a right 'food baby' belly now, post Xmas excesses. So, porridge for breakfast & tinned white crab meat and various other high protein/low fat foods for lunch and tea - nearly all of the tinned fish variety - and redoubled gym workouts, here I bloody well come.

(I wouldn't mind so much, but aforesaid fish diet has an unfortunate 'fart like a bison' side effect, too. Deep joy. Arses!)

Me too, a bit. I'm not fat or anything, at 5'8 weigh 12 stone tops, but I do feel like I could shed a stone and look better. Aim to exercise more too for general happiness feel, as I don't have too much stamina and feel sleepy half the time.

Except taller and a bag of sugar over 12st.

Likewise. It's a fucking big bag of sugar, mind.

Two episodes into The Pacific and it is very good.

Famous and Fearless, less so.

Reminds me, I saw a tin box set of Band of Brothers DVDs for £15 in tesco earlier. If it gets any cheaper, they'll be paying people to take it away.

That is very good, too.

I almost bought it years ago, priced around £80, then nearly jumped when I saw it for £50, then again when it was £25 in the post christmas sales last year.

I have never owned it, nor watched the series from start to finish.

According to my wife, it is not considered normal to absent mindedly reach for a cotton bud and start clearing out your ears whilst standing, having a piss. The weirdo.
