Highlander 2 - The Quickening is on youtube
There's my afternoon sorted

What are you up to this afternoon? I've just had a jacket potato and a Crunchie ice lolly. What have you had?

I'm working the late shift all this week, so I've been houseworking like a mother.

Are they still video games if they're on the pc?

I was so excited for that film when it came out
I think I convinced myself I liked it at the time because I so desperately wanted to. It had a shitload of production issues but that's no excuse for ruining the mythology of the first film in favour of having them come from the Planet Zanussi.

I'm off to Scotland soon and I'm visiting a castle specifically because it was used in Highlander. I'm also visiting a telephone box for similar reasons. /intofilm

I had a meeting in the local office this morning which involved having to 'get dressed' in 'clothes'
And this afternoon now I'm back home I have 2 teleconferences, one of which is my '1-2-1' and not in fact 'arse-covering horseshit'.

To calm my murderous rage I spent an hour down the allotment at lunchtime and harvested my Charlotte potatoes. I've got literally fucking millions of them.

The first one is OK, with an excellent soundtrack
The second one is irredeemably shite.

Never seen the third but imagine probably similar to the second looking at the summary. If you're lucky it might be like the TV mini-series which was below average.

Some films should on no account have sequels, and Highlander was definitely one of them.

Yeah. When I worked for an oil company it took days for someone to get permissions to our application as it went though so many hands.
And despite us supporting the app, we weren't allowed to grant it.

Our Marketing department needed a particular Google+ app.
So I sat down, worked out what was needed. Just a pretty simple OU set up and an app rolled out to it. Except I've got no rights. I tell the one global guy, he gives me a smug "I know", then has a conversation with an American who opens it up to the entire company.
