I'm Back with stories to tellFirstly David Llyod the artist of V, he lied when he said about 80% of the book is in the movie.Its still a good movie but I am too close to the source material to be objective. i will have to talk to someone who has not read the book. I will say, and this will mean something for the people who have read it, the Valerie segment is the most perfect thing I have EVER seen on film. Shame they didnt do more of the direct translation from book to screen.I will do a proper review on Monday...too many thoughts spinning around at the mo
Ok lets get down to it boppers
Remember RememberHmm well today I was going to have a discussion on my Depression over the years (not that I'm down) but I have a feeling that it will take a long time. Last weeks holiday was a period of reflection for me and I finally understood hopw my sad days/weeks/months and my trouble with money are all slightly interlinked.SCARY BISCUITS!!no today dear friend I am excited. You see I have taken a few hours off work later on today to go and see V for Vendetta at the 11.30AM showing at the cinema just 2 minutes from my work. Thanks must go to my work for not throwing a hissy fit when I asked for the time off.I am excited and prepared for dissapointment at the same time!!I will give my verdict later on this afternoon.Freedom! Forever!

I tell ya, this getting old lark aint that funny! My ma's cat just kept leaping about and attacking me and trying to fend it off with half my mobility gone (ok a bit of a lie!) is not fun.Well my work should be quiet today as there is a big conference in Dundee today. Now being an Aberdonian, I despise Dundee....no real reason for it to exist but who am I? I did have a stag night there once that was quite fun. In the morning we went to McD's and then went to watch some multi-story flats being demolished. I have a feeling that if I went back, this would not happen again, so I would be dissapointed.

Hi I am Back and I am pissed off!!!!!!!!
Your Luck Quotient: 68%
You have a high luck quotient.More often than not, you've felt very lucky in your life.You may be randomly lucky, but it's probably more than that.Optimistic and open minded, you take advantage of all the luck that comes your way.
How Lucky Are You?Na not really. back here to cause trouble and look good. V is out on friday, I hear pirates are doing the rounds and I am now wanting to get a pirate before I go and spend hard earned cash....not good.Well you see I am not really into the piracy thing, I think if something entertains you then you should recompense the creator. But with so many god-awful movies, music and video games out there, it doesnt suprise me that so many people use piracy. And we are talking about normal everyday people who do not care if the piracy money is being used for bad things. They want to see movies before the cinema release and if its an awful copy, then they accept it. Society needs to realise this and REDUCE prices all across the board. I am not sure about other places but here its nearly £7 per cinema visit. Now that seven pounds could be used in so many other better ways. If I enjoy the movie then I dont mind the cost, If I hate the movie then I am annoyed. If I watch a pirate then it will cost me less than half that and if I like it then I will buy the dvd, simple as that.Sorry dont know where that came from...must be a reaction to being on holiday!!So how are you?

Oh politics sucks
We have a new leader of the Liberal Democrats in Britian. He is called Sir Menzies Campbell, he insists that he is called MING!! In Scots the word Ming means a really bad smell.
Sums up politics really.
Sums up politics really.

Just ripped this from Warren Ellis site
Spook For The Mouse

Some of you may have felt a little underqualified to become a manhunter for Special Operations Command. Never fear. An anonymous pal has found a job almost as good: “Intelligence Analyst” for the Walt Disney Company.
Yeah, you read that right: a spook for the Mouse… “highly developed Internet skills” and “US Government security clearance (at least Secret-level) desirable.”
Employer: The Walt Disney CompanySector: PublicType: JobStatus: Full-timeLocation: Burbank, CATitle: Intelligence AnalystTHE SITUATION: Basic Purpose and Objective of the Position: The Intelligence Analyst anticipates and assesses threats that could harm, or make vulnerable, The Walt Disney Company (TWDC), its employees, guests, or assets…
WHAT?????????????????????????????????????
maybe the world has become more bizarre while I slept. The NWO told everyone but left me out!!!
Typical

Tuesday rant time
Snow bloody snowIts official, the world is coming to an end and we are all going to die here. In a day when the main news story was whether or not we should give the right to vote and partake in political activities to 16 year olds (why? Would anyone actually care!?!), an advert in a sunday newspaper showed a woman in a surgical mask thing. It was for some company that makes these things. The tag line was "Provides Varying levels of protection against flus, like avian"So in other words what you are saying isIt might work, it might notFucking great. Lets panic people with the possibility that we are all going to catch this and die, then offer a possible solution that looks like it will help but wont. AND PEOPLE FALL FOR THIS TIME AN TIME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!Britian has its fair share of thick people but this was in a quality (their term) sunday paper.Educational reforms, banning smoking and now emergency measures to stop terrorism......but dont worry you might die before any of this happens, so let us do whatever we want and when the panic has passed, we will be so far down the road to totalitarianism (is that a word??- fuck it)that you cant stop us. Smile for the politicians honey, they might kill us if we dont.The "Whoops Apocolypse" movie maybe wasnt that far off the mark."I know what causes unemployment. It's goblins, not the pink fluffy ones, the horrible green ones"I sometimes wish I didnt live here, then I think it's getting this bizarre everywhere now!!
