Sorry Lighters, can't do it, I'm changing the subject. Even "cor, the weather in January in Britain is crap, eh?" is more interesting than this.

So how about that local sports team, then? Go them!

Sports teams are even more dull than the weather.

Last night I had mahooosive chili sausages...

With kidney beens inside.

Yummy yes, however the belches / guffage they subsequently provided could indeed be deemed chemical weapons.

In fact I can almost hear them calling now to be evacuated...Better get the stirrups for the bog...

I'm not too fond of kidney beans, but they sound good.
Were they quite heavy?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Thu 26 Jan 2012, 9:27, Reply)

Indeed...

Not a massive fan of kidney beans myself but they worked when part of this ensemble.

However, the first few 'quacks of doom' have begun...and I don't think they're going down too well with the rest of the people in the office...(some of which are now trying to cut their own noses off with their keyboards as we speak).

Never less than thoroughly entertaining
and there's one sequence which is genuinely stunning. The ending will be apparent to anyone with a passing familiarity with the books after about ten minutes, but as far as this sort of fare goes it's top-notch.

It had a couple of decent moments. Although now I've said that, I struggle to remember what they are. I do remember thinking 'Oh, actually I didn't hate that'.

Not a patch on the new TV version anyway though.
