That's not like you! Well the folk at work have finally decided that we should buy the software I was pushing all along, but it's taken such a long time, and been so draining, I just can't take much pleasure from it. Besides, it's much easier to feel smug when things aren't working because they've chosen the wrong product than it is when you're the one who has to make the right product work. And I've been ill a lot recently (hence my higher-than-normal posting volume, not that anyone would notice) so I need perking up a bit. >Anyway, fill your boots, mate Ta.

I listened to the podcast of Mayo and Kermode's R5 film show yesterday, and the two of them were audibly welling up when they talked about it, and they read lots of letters from people who said the film had moved them to tears. -- Champ We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

I thought you wouldn't be seen dead listening to R5? It has some good stuff from time to time. Their political editor is John Pienaar who is often worth listening to.

Unless of course he wasn't talking about the 3D version. And, similarly, I read Ogden's post as "I want to see Toy Story 3 but not in 3D". -- d.

To clarify, I'm not particularly enthusiastic about seeing it at all, but I flat-out refuse to endure it in 3D. -- ogden | gsxr1000 | ktm duke 2 |
