We went to see St Trinian’s 2, the Legend of Fritton’s Gold on Sunday in Bradford at Cineworld. It was fun to watch, but sadly, it was definitely a sequel, it failed to live up to the sheer audacity and stupidity that St Trinian’s
Well, the good news is, the X-Factor single didn’t reach number one, no matter how you look at it, that is a good thing, it would have been yet another year, yet another X-Factor winner – many people are sick of that. However, the Christmas number one is now Rage Against the Machine – Killing in the Name – why? The couple who started this (the same couple as last year) chose a completely non Christmas related song, not only that, but one that contains quite a bit of swearing, so it can’t really be played while the family are sitting around opening presents now can it!

The excerpt I was just reading from BBC News goes as follows:
A Christmas card has been withdrawn from two Tesco stores in York after complaints that it makes fun of children with ginger hair.

At the weekend I finally caved and bought Super Mario Bro’s Wii, I loved the older Super Mario on the SNES and the Wii version seemed to go back to Mario roots with this new game – at least, the advertisements made it look like it did so I would have been royally pissed if it didn’t – but it did and man, it’s great. Below are screenshots from the old SNES Mario and the new Wii Mario, the Wii is clearly improved graphics wise, but the key thing to note here is the fact the new version still plays the same as the old version, horizontal scroller style.
Oh this is just adorable, reminds me of when our cat was just a baby.
Google has recently launched their own version of public DNS servers, much like OpenDNS. After trying them out briefly this morning, the response time does seem to be very quick from an actual user point of view (browser seems to start downloading sooner than it used to do.)
Every time I see the Oasis of the Seas, I am always in awe of it. More and more I want to be on it now, but alas, I have to wait.
Yesterday, we went to Leeds to do some shopping in preparation of our upcoming big day (yes, getting married soon!) At lunch time we decided to go get some food and a drink, we wanted to go to Starbucks but both the Border’s Starbucks and the actual Starbucks shop on the street were packed (20+ queues.) So we decided on Costa Coffee, 93-97 Albion Street (near Harvey Nichols) for our mid-day drink and snack…I wish we had queued for Starbucks.

I love the Muppets, always have, always will. So I was delighted to find this on Youtube. It’s Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody re-imagined by the muppets. Not sure if it’s actually new, but the 1080p quality certainly is new and it is pretty stunning to watch it stream.
I watched 9 last night and while it certainly was emotional, I was left feeling somewhat let down and confused at the end of it. I’m going to talk about specifics in the film here so if you’ve not seen it yet and intend to, don’t ready anymore.
