How to deactivate a cat

Had this link kicking around for ages, and thought I really ought to get round to posting it. Sarah - y'might want to bear this in mind next time we visit your sister...

Grammar Fascist

I like this, but then I am very much a grammar pedant, if not an out and out grammar nazi. I was recently scarred for life by the cover of a recent issue of Radio Times (I mean, the ever-reliable Radio Times magazine, which is never wrong!) - the one with Prince Charles on the cover, which had a quote attributed to Prince Harry - "dont call me a geek". Sic, as they say. It pains me just typing it.

Like finding the remains of a cave man with a transistor radio.

I have this record.. It is, I'll freely admit, not the greatest record ever made - but then, it is essentially for children and not meant to be The Beatles, or even Black Lace. I'm not sure it deserves quite the pasting the website gives it. Although its educational value is severely hampered by its various errors (Sarah took one look at the cover and laughed at the number of dinosaurs that just don't belong together.

I'm sorely tempted to rip it to mp3 and then upload it for anyone who's interested. If you have kids who have an interest in dinosaurs, I suspect it will go down well. And it's a bit of pleasant, lighthearted fun.

Page Eight

Am rather disappointed to learn that this is just a one-off rather than a full series - can't help thinking it sounds like it could be a good series, possibly a decent replacement for Spooks. Mind you, that's based on knowing next to nothing about it except that it's a spy drama with Bill Nighy in it.

I presume it's not actually been on the BBC yet. Anyone know when it's scheduled to air?

Slightly missing the point, but...

...my first thought on watching Source Code was, "OMG, they have double decker trains in the USA? Can we get them in Britain too?"

(Second thought was: Has Donald Bellisario seen this? He really ought to get onto his lawyers...)

Abey the Vampire Slayer

What's not to love about a film with a name like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter? It's bound to be wonderful. Also looking forward to seeing Cowboys and Aliens, for similar reasons.

Oh. Wow.

I knew One Day was being filmed, but I didn't know it was coming out quite so soon. This may influence what I decide to do this week, specifically on Wednesday...
