Go visit Heather and wish her a speedy recovery :). I think the 6 flags took it out of her for sure..
Get Well Soon Heather.

A Film Review: The Da Vinci Code
I'm not gonna reveal too much incase ya wanna go see it, I'll just reveal enough as make you interested.
Hmm Well Im sure you've all seen the clip in the gallery with the dead dude, Yeah?
I tell you about him he's the curator of the gallery and the grandmaster of a secret organisation that's protecting something that well let's just say could chance the way people assess faith.
He's dead, the cop who is sent to look into the murder is naturally part of another secret organisation that wants to remove this secret and keep they "myth" alive that jesus died and had no kids (i.e not mortal like man) and he wants to arrest the main character for murder but has to do it convincingly, put into the mix the dead dude's "grand-daughter" I say it like that as well she isn't, any such thing, but she knows codes and cyphers and between them, they need to escape the gallery and take the clues given by the grandfather, written in UV pen, and code and track them across paris, ,london, and eventually Scotland. Of course they have to stay one step ahead of the law, as well as this albino monk, who is a little "nutz" and who also shot the grandfather in the first place. Oh yeah he works for the same organisation as the police officer. Now add in an expert in all things pretaining to both organisations who the lead trust and well you have it or do you. All of course is not as it seems, never quite know who you can trust and who you can't.
All this to protect a tomb, but who's tomb and why.. I hope this snippet has given you enough insight as to want to watch the film without giveing too much away...
Thanks to those who have voted so far, many thanks to DB & Junebugg for leaving comments (I should have said I'd like comments as well :P - maybe I did)

The Scottish Cup Final
What can I say, little Grenta FC came so far, and took the opposition all the way in the final, it went to a penalty shoot out which Hearts won 4-2..
I did post about this ages ago, but Gretna is like in "Division 2", Hearts they are 2 leagues up in The "Scottish Premier League", and they took 2nd place in that, so you can see it's quite a feat for gretna to even be in the Final let alone take it to a penalty shoot-out.
Mind you Gretna can go away from this final knowing they took the game to their opponants and because they are in the final and due to some rules they are in the UEFA cup next year, okay it's the qualifing rounds but hey they are there that and they will be playing "Division 1" football next year as they basically stormed through Division 2. Full Story on BBC SPORT.

I just realised!
Well i was looking a Wahwer's Blog, and it got me thinking when is my "blogger birthday", my 1st offical blogspot post can be found here. I did how ever import all my old DD entries the ones that survived a DB crash (and a poor revcovery due to the fact that the site admin had to do it solo with only DD diariests giving him a had, so a few entries got lost in the recovery (some of the most painful got lost :|, unfortunatly - I can't remember what I wrote then) so that technically means it's the 13th June, as seen here, I'll let you make up your mind.

A film Review: Mission Impossible 3....
What can I say,
plot impossible, improbable but some how it still works, they tech-geek from MI & MI:2 well lets just say I want his toys! Oh yeah it also brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "bullet to the brain" - go see for the explaination of it. Also don't ya just hate it when there is a mole in the works, the one who you think ya can trust, I mean really trust and then he turns out to be working for the guy your trying so hard to kill. It's a good film, go see it if you've not already..
This is another one to go in the DVD collection, which Im gonna have to STOP adding to as well last count 130+ DVD's that fill a small bookcase that i did buy to store books but well it now stores DVD's as it's just about the right depth and it's spilled over into a bigger bookcase I got beside it - they kinda sit in one corner of my room which I think needs a redesign / re decorate but hmm not sure on colors / exact what I want, it's currently part mahogony effect, part beech wood effect, with silver and a pine lamenate floor to boot. Walls well they've not been redone for oh a good few years but the effect still works well in here for some reason, it's half lemon, half lemon with a blue/red/green stripe down it, and a blue/green/red pattern on a lemon background as the border between, it works well. I got a look in my head but I can't see it working for some reason!

The View from my Office
This is the tree outside my office, it all it's spelender, just thought I would share it with you, so you know even although I can't actually do very much online at work (due to something called "Websense") I do have something nice to look at, it helps keep me from going to sleep...... Sorry what was I saying oh yeah it helps, well that and large amounts of caffine, technical support can be boring sometimes. I have found something even more boring and that is stocktaking, I do feel sorry for all those people who have to do it, at least you don't have to do a full inventory of what you have with no actual idea of what is being classed as stock and what is this and that, so Im writing it all down the accountant can sort it all out :| oh i Now strongly dislike accountants. As to why Im doing this, well Im the only one who is available to do it as the others are out finishing off some contract work we have.....
*Yawns and stretches* Right Im off to go get some food since I'm not long in from work... Cya.

A Tale of the Unexpected
Well, I got a surprise this morning. I went downstairs there was a letter waiting for me in a nice bright yellow envelope, the handwritting I recognised as being from one of my friends and the post mark told me exactly who it was from. I hope it up and as Im pulling it out, Im confused as it looked like a card of some sort, check pattern on the part I could see, thought, not my birthday, and a bit late for an easter card. I remove the card and see this wonderous cute baby picture and now Im really confused. There was a letter neatly written on the inside, it was from my friends Jenny & Gregor, who I've known since I briefly went to university about 12yrs ago, they met during fresher week and well they've been together even since, we used to call the the "elastic couple" as they were never far apart, they just clicked, it was wonderful. They got married about oh 9 yrs ago now and were happily settle down somewhere near Oxford. Gregor is even more a geek than me, that is when I talk to him ,lets just say we could talk computers all day. Jen is just well Jen, maths is her forte but she helps kids out who are struggling with maths or english as she's part of the "KUMON" program, with helps kids like that, it's not that expensive to put you kid in and well any time I've talked to Jen about it she's been fully enthusiatic about it. Anyway back to the point the little man, I now know as Harry, staring back to me in the photo wasn't exactly planned and as Jen puts it "either the unexpected or the enivitable occured and we made the silly step into parenthood", they did meant to mention it sooner but well the past 9 month for them has been a bit of a tough one, as Jen's mum also wasn't feeling great but thankfully grandma is all better now :) and is Harry's Number one fan. Im sure a lot of you out there know exactly what they are going through and what is to come, I do a little, it's gonna be a fun next few years for them. Only thing is it's yet another birthday in MARCH! ARGH!!! I'll survive, oh and could you please make sure no more births in March Please I have enough cards to write out and remember :P.
Anyways Im off to go and do something else, with a skip in my step, a song in my heart and with a smile, not something that happens often.

I did a quick look around the Park
I took a quick look around my fellow BWTP blogs.
Okay, 1 dead link - I figured that much
I've left comments on some that I read and understood so if you've not got a comment from me recently then I can't figure ya out...
All I have to say is those that I didn't comment on were impossible to decypher (chewy) or not update in a while (Church of Steele) or just erm Im sorry Chief Slacker I just don't get your blog maybe I need to read more.

there are a few visit via my blogger profile page and a few page visits directly many of which show a 0 second visit guessing - couldn't wait for load or they were robots.
I see Miss Zooty visited obviously to see what all the "blog tagging" was all about.
Some Searchs the find by Blog:

Let's all have a big old game of blogger tag.
Okay, I've had a mad idea that will make sure that well other blogs are visited, our own is possibly more visited..
Okay the rules, now there are simple:
You can tag whoever you like as long as
1) They are not the person who tagged you or
2) The person who tagged them (i.e. the person who tagged the person who tagged you)
Example:
I tag - Millie Helen who tags Heather, now Heather can't tag me or Millie Helen but can tag anyone else she likes.
got me now I'll start I've not decided who Im going to tag yet, oh the tag can either be on the Message Board or via blogger comments (i.e. something that the blog writer will pick up on)
Also could you link back to this post and leave a comment on who you've tagged (URL if possible) so that I can see how far this is going, It's kinda like the snowball thing but only funnier (possibly!?)
Okay I've decided by Random Choice that Miss Zooty is the first person to be tagged. Go visit ;)
** Edit 10th April **
Additional Rule: Can the Tagee (the person who's just been tagged) please post I've just been Blog-Tagged By to let the person know you've seen that you've been Tagged - Thanks.

Fairytales do come true...
Totally Random Posting:
Now most people in the UK if you ask them what they know about "Gretna Green" they'll say it's the place couples go to elope, and people still do that and get married properly in "The Old Smithy", the Local Blacksmith shop, as that's what kids used to do was escape to and get married so their parents couldn't do Nothing about it. Im sure there are places like Gretna Green all over the World..
Well now it's gonna be famous for something else. You see it has a football team, which was until a few years ago in the lower division of the english league system. One day this pony-tailed guy with a ciggy in one hand, came round wanting to see the manager, who was cutting the grass, yeah that's how small the club was, that and the local baliff's had been around a few times to check up on the kit locker to see what was there incase they need to sell stuff to help settle debts. The Guy was Brooks Mileson, that day he left a cheque for £ 20,000 to help the youth team as that's what the manager had said really needed to the money not thinking he'd get a bean. A year passes , same dude comes around, managers still cutting the grass, and the guy goes "what to want to be Manager or Groundskeeper?" and the dream started. He put money where is mouth was, not spending huge amounts of cash but giving the club players insentive to play and win. Someone came up with the idea well were close enough to scotland to play in the Scottish League, why not apply and we'll see, they got in to the Scottish 3rd Division. Brooks Mileson has a dream of playing in the Scottish Premier league one day soon, he's building a statium to match the premier league rules on minimum size etc. They won the 3rd Division title last year and were promoted to the 2nd Division this year which they have already won with games to spare they are that many point ahead of 2nd place. Dream come true, I mean what other team boss says you score a hat-trick this week and you get my Austin Martin to drive for a week, he did and his main scorer Kenny Deuchar did it last year and got the car for a week as well as the match ball as that's what happens if ya score 3, you get to keep one of the match balls as a souviner. Now your saying what's so special well they are in the Scottish Cup final against Hearts who are in the Scottish Premier League the top division, they have had to put out opponents for the divisions above them to reach the final. Well the semi final that put the there was last Saturday and what did the boss man do, he go celebrate, no he went to the animal santuary he has to help out as well it's lambing season and well one lamb was born that night, and it may just become the most famous lamb since "Larry" as he said he might get it to lead the team out at the Hampden Park - the scottish national statium. This is the first time anyone from the "lower division" has made it to a cup final in many years. They got a slim chance of winning but even if they lose, they could end up playing again the Elite of Europe in the UEFA cup, total fairytale. The guy behind it all is even gonna let the guys go away for a few weeks after end of the league proper to recharge for the final on him, he even paid for a load of tickets and transport to make sure the supporters could go see the team in the semi. I mean you all know what it's like you support your local team be it football, baseball, basketball, american football, ice hockey. You should at the ref, the players, the TV when they do something STUPID. It's all in the passion, that man is going places. If someone had said to me to put a bet on "Gretna FC" in the Scottish Cup Final back in August when the leagues kicked off the season I'd have laughed, now I'd be crying because I'd have made a MINT.
Good Luck Gretna FC and Good Luck Brooks Mileson don't worry you'll be able to smoke all the way back home.. (Since there is a smoking ban in place now all over Scotland)
From another Black n White Fan - That will be "The Pars" like but come on Kenny put one in the net.

A Film Review: Duma
What can I say be well directed and brilliant film. It's about a boy and his best friend a cheeta who he raised from a cub after his dad almost running over it one night after it's mother had been killed by lions.
They live out in the african wilderness, farming the land. Many names for the "pet" are tried but only Duma seem to fit, we see duma grow up learning to run like a cheeta should, reaching the speed of 80-90 kph in seconds it's breathtaking. It reaches the point where Duma must return to the wild. The boy's dad however takes ill and they plan to take Duma back to where he came from and released. However like many thing in life his dad doesn't see his plan to the end and dies, his mother realising they can't run the farm so they have to move to the city to stay with his aunt and Duma is supposed to go somewhere to be looked after. When the get to his aunts the man who's picking Duma up isn't going to be there for a few days, so duma stays too, but escapes when he gets frighten after chewing on a TV remote, only due to the fact he scares the aunt who runs out the door, this is of course seconds after his mother has left to pick him up. Duma follows the truck and well causes chaos at school when he turns up naturally the boy is not bothered, just scared for Duma safety.
The boy then decides to forfil his fathers wish and return Duma to the wild, on the way running into a drifter who's out to make a fast buck maybe but then realises that it's not the way once he gets to know the strange pair and decides to help but not before being stuck in an old diamond mine when the pair realise he's trying to make that fast buck. After getting himself out the mine, he catchs back up to the pair after duma gets cuaght in a trap and agrees to take them to the mountains, however drifter gets sick as he's bitten by something nasty, the boy saves him by running to a nearby village in the dark and with lions about, tying duma up to protect the stranger but duma escapes and finds a mate but comes back to say goodbye one last time. I highly recommend you rent / buy this movie.

Happy Birthday to My Mum
It's my mum's birthday today, I won't reveal her age even although she doesn't know how to work a pc (dispite years of my attempts to teach her).
Unfortunatly the weather isn't the nicest, it's raining has been most of the day but then again it's March in Scotland and thus I can't expect anything less.
One wonderful thing is that this Sunday is Mothering Sunday here in the UK, hmm nice double presents...

Why......do........I..........even...........bother!
Now dear reader a semiantly-reoccuring theme of my "life" (ha now that is a joke - I don't have one or rather very much of one!) I do sometimes just think "Why do I freaking bother!" Example tonight "dearest" mother said she's seen the griter lorry out gritting the road and said so, you might get have a bit of trouble getting out in the morning - to which I go "I don't think I will, it's going to be ok" now was it something I remotely said - Do I need to go see a "shrink" now I know I'll be fine due to wonderous tool called "ForcastFox" the accuweather.com extension for Firefox, okay so -3C (27F) overnight isn't exactly tropical but expected for time of year. I hear mutterings from mother! I think i should just maybe not say a fucking WORD, so I go to try and smooth things over by saying that I've checked the weather on the computer (that and I do listen to the radio on the way home and catch the local weather forcast). Now my mum isn't into computers and never will I've tried for past 15+ yrs to get her to try and use 'em but to no avail - it takes her to work the freeview box & the Video/DVD combo player that is downstairs, so PC's are beyond. I was told "in future I'll not say a word even if there are 10 gritter lorries...."
Hmm oh that and a good friend seems to be ignoring me in a game Im back to playing even although I said "I was giving it up" I can't I've tried - they coding hurt my head too much, still is because Im determine to finish the id3v1/(v2)/ mpeg frame find and read php class (ID3v2 spec is erm well ya interesting!)
Now Im away to watch "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" on DVD which I got today.
