Going to do a 'click and collect' from Tesco. Getting son Call of Duty for Xbox. Any ideas for a good movie DVD? He likes an action packed thing. Plus he likes stand up comedy, a bit off the wall, but not Frankie Boyle  Somebody like Peter Kaye or the like. Any suggestions? Thanks. I have been throwing hints at him, but nothing clear!!

He nearly 20 x

Youngest son was on the phone and he suggests Greg Davis or Kevin Bridges, but he doesn't think Kevin has released a new dvd this year.

He said if you go on HMV website and go into the New Releases section, you might get some other ideas.

Oh thanks Yogi, i have been trying to think of Kevin Bridges name!! I remember son was in fits of laughter one evening a while back, and i went into his room. He said he was watching Kevin and found him hilarious . Thank your son for me 

Skylark, I doubt if I would be of much help in suggesting a good action movie DVD for a near 20 year old as my idea of a good action movie would be something like Guns of Navorone (1961) which would seem boring to many young men nowadays. I play computer games but nothing remotely as violent as Call of Duty. Squiggle may have a better idea as she has bought games for her grandsons.

Again, I'm no use on suggesting stand up comedians as there are very few of the modern ones I can stand. The only off the wall one I do find amusing is Bill Bailey.

I think they are moonie, they were in use in Ilford 20 years ago or more.  But the posture thing is still the same, the angle of his back means he is storing up trouble for himself whether he is pushing hard or just lightly.  My hubby used to be a postie himself, and indeed trained young postmen and women, and they are taught how to lift and how to protect their backs, the postman in the picture has forgotten what he was taught.

Movelat has a slight smell but nothing compared to Ralgex I would think.

El, Call of Duty not my idea of fun either to be honest, but a sign of the times. It just has to be keeping up with his peers, i think. He isnt aggressive by nature and understands its not real, as such. I still dont like it myself, but... 
He does enjoy movies of all ages though, so thanks for that xx

Plus i like Bill Bailey too, not sure if my son knows his work too well though.

Will do.

I should have put Guns of Navarone rather than Navorone. there was a sort of sequel made years later called Force 10 from Navarone but that's more pedestrian.

Yes i knew what you meant x

Have to get off now. Hopefully be back tomorrow sometime. I am spending the day with my daughter but will try to pop in sometime in the evening. 
Take care everyone 

Skylark,

 Enjoy your day with your daughter tomorrow.

Thanks for the info Squiggle

*comes into Buddies singing....*

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day....

*leaves hastily*

Consider yourself slayed

Not heard much of that song this year for some reason El

Hi Yogi

How's your day going?

At least it wasn't Fairytale of New York

I prefer this one myself

Spent most of it sitting down.

How's you day been?

beautiful

Awww how is your back now?

A bit more productive for me, for a change Got all me cards sorted and posted. Paid bills, not guaranteed to make me happy Didn't get wet once either

One of my favourites.

 Well done on a productive and dry day.

Hubby bought me Voltarol ointment and it seems to have helped a bit.

Fankoo

Oh! well done Mr Yogi Glad its helping

Thanks Moonie. 

Besides Silent Night, one of my favourites is In the Bleak Midwinter.

Sung by my local cathedral choir, the words were written by Christina Rossetti (sister of the artist), and the music was composed by Gustav Holst who lived in Cheltenham.

Hello, back for a bit. Was having a friend coming down, she cancelled.Can i say, thank goodness . Sorry thats sounds bad, but sometimes you just arent in the mood.

You been a naughty boy, moonie?  Dont worry, i always like to think the Good Lord has blessed us all with a sense of humour. It gets us through, doesnt it?

Good Mr Yogi, got you Voltarol, and it seems to be working. I was worried he came back with the iffy stuff and had to sleep with Keira 

Lovely, just listening now xx
Well trying , flash player, again 

Skylark, I hope you are able to watch my video clip as it is a particularly nice recording though might make you cry a bit with its beauty.

Yes i did, and yes i am. Truly lovely El, thank you 

 Mr Yogi knows better than to bring me the stinky stuff.

Beautiful clip, El, very moving.

An owl picture with a difference - ouch!

 Run, mouse, run!!!!

The owl wont catch the mouse  Too fast 

I hope you're right.

Simply beautiful EL The church setting makes it more special and the choir and congregation together give it a rich depth.

I love all Christmas music from dear old Bing, Dean Martin, Doris Day, Nat King Cole The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) through to Wizzard 'I wish it could be Christmas every day'.  My hubby's personal favourite was The Christmas Alphabet by Dickie Valentine which he used to sing every Christmas.  We play it every Christmas and think of him.  But of course the carols are very special aren't they?

I love Christmas Carols, and agree that they are special.

I am upstairs, lying in bed and hubby is downstairs. I can hear him caterwauling singing Christmas carols. Poor Keira, her ears will be bleeding!

Yes very special squiggle, in a different way to each and all of us
