Well I don't know about you folks,
but I've had drinks with the girls, and that's fine, I'm cool. In fact I'm so chilled out that I'm actually enjoying study now that I'm actually doing it.
What are your plans for the day?

First I heard of the expression was from Sir Les Patterson.
So you have little excuse for not knowing.
I think the song went:

I'll be parting the old beef curtains.

Without getting too Geeky, it could have done without Hawkeye pretty much all the way through, apart from him being needed to really make it 'The Avengers'. And, in a non spoilery way, the big bads could have done with being a little more distinctive and threatening. But Loki was fantastic, Ruffalo showed it's possible to make an interesting character out of The Hulk, the dialogue was cracking, the Black Widow interogation scene was amazing and the whole film was properly funny. Oddly it does seem like we have the same problems with it, but I liked it in spite of them and for you it seems they took away from the rest.
