Does anyone want to go and see Watchmen over the weekend? Saturday, Sunday - might be a push to get Friday night tickets. State a preference for day if so, and I'll book them. -
The baleful influence of Paxman
I've been watching and listening to lots of news broadcasts lately, and it seems whilst it's arguable that the news is dumbing down (Radio 4 et al still seem to have be pretty solid to me, not sure how TV News matches), it's unarguably that the journalists are *ruder*.

" a joyous refrain..."
I watched Singing in the Rain last night. What a glorious film. I wasn't expecting to be quite so enjoyable.

Bacchus - the Main Course
I'm going to just put up the photos and a brief description of the rest of the lovely food. That's the (only) problem with 7 courses, petit fours, amuse bouches etc. It's all a bit much (in the best possible way).
