Went to see The Sapphires today. Excellent movie, thought provoking without being heavy and a great performance from Chris O'Dowd.
My favourite line is when Dave, (O'Dowd's character) is trying to explain the difference between Country & Western, and Soul. He describes C&W as '... lost everything, now you're at home whining about it...' [snicker]

Here's the trailer:

Last night (night before?) I was dreaming I was staying at someone's house. The room I was using had a private shower that was basically just the plumbing coming out of the wall near the window and spraying directly on to the floorboards. No shower curtain, no recess, and no drainage save for what looked like a hole in the rotting skirting board.
I shifted the furniture out of the way as far as possible, so it wouldn't be splashed, and was prepared to put towels down to soak up the water.
Also, I'd bought a whole frozen fish to nosh on later. [shrug]

Holiday breakfast :)

Interesting that they're not promoted anymore as 'part of your balanced breakfast'...

There were also exhortations on the cereal box about exercise and how playing outside is fun!!!
Since the rise of hysteria over the 'epidemic' of childhood obesity, all of the food companies that target children - and their parents - are doing this sort of thing, so that when the righteous finger of indignation is pointed at them for contributing to the 'plague' they can claim, hand on heart, that it's not their fault, see? They're promoting a healthy lifestyle, see...?
