Congratulations to The Sun who have managed to show, yet again there skill in reporting - namely total lazyness and just stealing others work!
Many of these images are taken from B3ta and other sites, and all the sun needed to do was credit them…but maybe the words were too long?

I’m all on my lonesome this weekend as the Wife has gone to Scotland with the kids to visit the relatives.
Because of this I overslept this morning
The house is very weird when there aren’t any kids in the house. Quiet…too quiet - even the dog was slightly freaked out!
I had the oportunity to have a bit of a MarioKart session online with Si, James Krez and Olex. All good fun and I gained many experiance points for my online ranking!
Also as an online game i would also recommend iSketch which is a fun online game where you say what you see! - I’m usually in the B3ta user created room!

Tonight I am having a Mario Kart a thon! - The good thing about Mario Kart is that it can be played online with up to 12 players!
If it goes well this may be a regular thing as playing against humans is more fun than the AI - Humans are nastier and more erratic than the AI controlled players. For example you can always judge where to leave banana skins with the computer because they all take roughly the same route - humans don’t.
The other good thing about playing online is that I can play in my pants and no-one will notice!!

A bit of a movie thing recently…

From Box Office Mojo’s list of Top 48 Sci-Fi Films Based on a Book (or Story) (1980- present). Some of the titles on this list look suspicious. (Was Cocoon really based on a piece of written fiction? There’s a difference between an adaptation and a novelization.)
Here are the rules.
- Copy the list below.
- Mark in bold the movie titles for which you read the book.
- Italicize the movie titles for which you started the book but didn’t finish it.
- Tag 5 people to perpetuate the meme. (You may of course play along anyway.)
And now, the list…
1. Jurassic Park
2. War of the Worlds
3. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
4. I, Robot
5. Contact
6. Congo
7. Cocoon
8. The Stepford Wives
9. The Time Machine
10. Starship Troopers
11. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
12. K-PAX

14. The Running Man
15. Sphere
16. The Mothman Prophecies
17. Dreamcatcher
18. Blade Runner(Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?)
19. Dune
20. The Island of Dr. Moreau
21. Invasion of the Body Snatchers
22. The Iron Giant(The Iron Man)

Or Bank Holiday Monday!
It is always nice to have a nice lie-in on a Monday….the last time I had one must have been about 10 years ago!!!
*Sigh*
Oh well - I’ve had a bit of a quiet one this weekend. Going swimming at guildford Spectrum with the kids wore me out and I did sleep well!
We went to Richmond Park with the dog today and that was good fun…I can’t help wondering if the place would be more fun if they released some wild wolves, bears and beavers there though - as it used to be!
Oh well!
