I'm listening to the first one on audio book... barely two/three episodes in so far in show standards...

Also, I'm reading the complete works of H P Lovecraft on my kindle... that's a long book... think I've taken on a bit much bookwise. *ahem*

No Way! I just emailed my Bro some recommendations for our father's kindle including HP Lovecraft's short stories. There are stacks of them!... should keep you going.

I enjoyed the Colour Out of Space... the only one I've read so far.

I'm at 27% so far... Around 1,000 "locations" until Cthulhu. I await Cthulhu with joy.

Only one I didn't really like so far was this multi-parter about reanimating corpses... until the end were it got more "eldritch abomination", but it took too long to get there. I'm there for the eldritch abominations... and possibly Lomar, I like the sound of Lomar.

I shall look out for that one.

Wiki'd Cthulhu...the pic reminds me of an octopus faced character in one of the Pirates Of The Caribean films.

Yeah... they made Davy Jones Cthulhu-ish, I don't think they gave him wings though. Not a fan of the Pirates movies.

Same here. I'm not a fan of Ikea Knightley.

Just wiki'd Lomar... wow, theres a whole mythology. 

Ikea Knightley! I need to remember that one.

I'll refrain from wiki-ing Lomar until I'm done the book... went and downloaded Les Mis now too... My to read list is getting longer and longer.

 Heh heh.

Oh yeah! ...forgot Les Mis was a book. 

Ikea Knightley came from an email read out on Mark Kermode's R5L film show. She ruined Atonement i.m.o. [ James McEvoy was superb].

Have I mentioned I was in 2 of his classes at school? And he used to go out with one of my friends? And we used to sing Rosie and Jim at her?

Knightly is atrocious. She almost ruined my enjoyment of Mads Mikklesen in King Arthur by simply being there.

Yes I remember you said *nods* how amazing is that! 

KK is atrocious, but keeps getting big film roles. Why? 

Because blokes fancy her.

I can't really tut at them for it though, the amount of crap I have sat through for Mads Mikklesen. lol

Aye that'll be it 

Google imaged Mads Mikklesen  oooh la la

He's going to be playing Hannibal Lectur in the new prequel tv show... which I am excites about.

Although, from promo pics I've seen he's not all long haired, bearded and medieval. I like him long haired, bearded and medieval. lol

 you seem to like 'em a bit wild 

Oh b.t.w. Jezza was on Danny Baker's BBC4 show last Tuesday discussing his favourite 70's rock albums etc. Fairly interesting... you like a bit of prog stuff don't you?

A wee bit yes... dunno if I could listen to Danny Baker though.

Understandable. I ended up watching Wed night too because Grace Dent and Boy George were on the panel.

The children coughed at me all week. I am going into this long weekend loaded with the cold. Children are evil. QED.

Poor Hitch  Schools are a right health hazard... injured backs... colds  

Hope you have some cold meds to take the edge off it. Try to take it easy..

[I had to look up what QED meant b.t.w.] 

They are! They are! lozenges aren't helping much, but Scotland just beat Italy... that make me feel better.

Well done Scotland  Was it a good match?

It was a good match. Wales v France was slightly less so... England v Ireland was a complete dirge.

It was always going to be that way, Scotland and Italy are the classiest teams in the 6 Nations. *ahem*

 Course they are!

Saw the second half of Ireland v England. Dirge is right 

I ended up playing freecell during that second half. *nods*

Nice about O'Driscoll though... his wife had a wee one just before the match. (Unsure if that morning or the night before.)

Well done BOD 

Anyhow, haven't seen TG yet. Got all distracted by the Awardsiness of last night. I shall Iplayer it once I've seen Once.

It was ok not one of TG's best. Though Jezza did a Scottish accent lol,

Kind of... kind of a Scottish accent... lol

Jezza's car was a bit useless.

Amy McDonald wasn't impressed. Hard to tell how bad, when its not your own accent. Irish people HATE dodgy Irish film accents [ eg Tom Cruise  ] 

Who's done the worst Scottish accent, would you say?

Yes, always worst when it's your own accent.

You know, I'm actually tempted to say Sean Connery. *ahem* I know I've heard some awful ones over the years... but I can't think off hand.

Was Mel Gibson's in Braveheart good?

I honestly can't remember. lol Don't think it was the best... sure I've heard worst. Someone recently sounded Irish, can't remember who.

Worst Irish? Tom?

I'd say TC in Far and Away... that line: Shannon... you're a corker! 

Haven't seen it but Kevin Spacey's in Ordinary Decent Criminal was dire apparently.

There are more, but a.t.m. I can't think too, lol.

Brad Pitt's Belfast accent in The Devil's Own wasn't bad.

Oh Far and Away! I hated that movie! lol

On a related note... Les Mis, I mentioned the guy in my avatar was Irish? Right? Someone on Tumblr said "Oh my god! That Fra Fee is the most Scottish sounding Frenchman ever!"... *head desk* My twitter pal from Inverness was all "how the hell does he sound Scottish?!". Oh Americans!

At least Americans have an excuse...being from another continent. Hate it when some UK people claim they can't understand even a soft Scottish or Irish accent eg Dara O'Bran was criticised recently as unintelligible 

Oh and heres another thing [sorry, rant alert] that Michael Portillo was doing his railway programme t'other day and pronounced camogie as cam-o-jeee 

Sorry. How are you?  are you making pancakes?

Dara?! Dara is very clear spoken and understandable.

I'm ok... spent most of this long weekend holiday on the couch ill (thank you kiddie-winks)... Better now, in time for work tomorrow... yay...

No pancakes, you?

Glad you're getting better.

Yep I am making some... might as well. 

2 bakeries around the corner... just not feeling like them.

Enjoy! *sends nutellafor pancakes*

You've a bakery round the corner, handy!!!  

Nutella! *dribbles*

2, but I still prefer my own...

I am scared... we are playing Juve. *cowers*

Good luck Celtic
