Re Auntie and Uncle previously mentioned.

They've split up again. I'd give them 6 months before they get back together.

Would they please make their bloody minds up, I'm sick of everyone else having their strings pulled. The rest of the family do not need this stress.

And now that all the bitching is out of the way

Would someone explain to me why, as a loyal Boromir girl, I always get Aragorn on these things.

Oh yeah, because Boromir always wanted to be Aragorn.

Just like to recommend a band called Violent Delight. Completely guaranteed to piss off any right minded feminists (I get far too much of a kick out of doing that). On top of that they're a band made up entirely of snotty teenage Essex boys.

I love them. I love them from their oversexed libidos down.

Praise Be, Sherlock Holmes lives

Okay, I'm a Sherlock Holmes nut. And every time there's an adaptation, I nitpick. I pick the tiniest nits you have ever seen.

I've just seen a version of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' that was that good that I don't want to nitpick, even though huge liberties have been taken with the text.

Mainly, because there's a Holmes who is right, right hair, right attitude, right snooty arrogance, right oddball sense of humour. He's even got the right laugh. (He's played, incidentally since he's not recognisable from it, by the Duke from Moulin Rouge)

Then you have Watson (Ian Hart AKA Professor Quirrel). They didn't make him a bumbling fool. Finally. In the books, he's a kind hearted man, who is very useful. The only person who makes him look like a bumbling fool is Holmes. And they kept with that.

He also has absolutely the best scenes and lines.

But it was classic. Brilliant. It'll probably have got lousy ratings, but I don't care. We have a decent Holmes, finally.
