Where does the weekend go? I cannot believe its already 6:30pm on Sunday evening. I am sure that weekends were longer when I was a kid.
Still Christmas will soon be upon us. And I see that Tesco's are celebrating by creating the first ever Musical Sandwich.
The sarnie will serenade buyers with a medley of Christmas tunes, including Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.
I wonder if they can make it so that it plays 'The Long and Winding Road' when It comes out the other end!

A cop in the US has had a replacement bionic leg fitted after an accident. he now says he can run faster.
All Kevin has to do at the start of his shift is tap his foot three times to set the leg into run or jump mode.
This leads me to my next question. If you could have any part of your body replaced by a 'bionic' part. What would you choose to replace?

PS: What we really need now is a load of blogs about online casino's. I hope someone does one.. or two... or seven.
The one I have linked is not the best, but it's definitely number 2!

Nursery Crimes

Mary Had a little Lamb

Keeping Mum
Plot: Vicars wife Gloria Goodfellow is a desperate housewife. Her husband, the vicar (Rowan Atkinson) is very boring, her 17-year-old daughter, Holly, is a raving nymphomaniac and her son is being bullied at school. Gloria is getting so desperate that she is considering an affair with sleezy golf pro Lance (Patrick Swayze). But things change when the new Nanny turns up. What they don’t know is that the new nanny, Grace (Maggie Smith) is a convicted murderer and also Gloria’s mother. Grace does her best to help her daughter, but in her own homicidal way.
My Thoughts: This film is a typical british comedy, a mixture of Shallow Grave and Miss Marple. It’s not laugh out loud like comparable American stuff, but the humour is gentle and slightly ‘off beat’. Grace is a cross between Mary Poppins and Myra Hindley. Patrick Swayze made a good sleazy golf pro but did we really have to see that thong? I think more could have been made of his womanising-perhaps a bit more flirting with Holly. Is it my imagination or does Rowan Atkinson only ever play vicars? But the nicest thing about the film is the change in Walter back to his old ‘fun loving’ self.
Best Bit:When Grace got revenge on the school bullies. Oh and the dog!
Score: 7/10

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Plot: Emily Rose died during an exorcism and priest Father Moore is on trial for murder. The defence lawyer Erin Bruner is out to prove the possibility that Emily was possessed by demons and that Father Brown was doing the best he could, including taking her off her prescribed drugs as they were inhibiting the exorcism process. The prosecution is out to prove that Emily in fact had a psychotic epileptic disorder and taking her off the drugs led to her death. We follow the exorcism via flashbacks and witnesses.
My Thoughts: This is a courtroom drama with a difference. The possession scenes and exorcism scenes are quite harrowing but fairly brief. Jennifer Carpenter, who played Emily, must be amazingly supple considering how often she had to contort her body. The filmmakers could have made more of the demonic attacks on the lawyer but I suppose this was meant to be ‘subtle’. On the whole this was a good drama- thought provoking considering it was based on a true story
Best Bit: The possession and the exorcism.
Score: 6/10
