Day 298 - Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

There was only one topic of conversation in the city today - yesterday's liquid tempest. The journey to and from work was negotiated with ease though, and the evening consisted of a duet of cinematic pleasures. First up was We Need To Talk About Kevin (7 / 10). A couple of years ago, I tried to read the book, but failed after about 20 pages as I found it interminably boring, but the film was great, with Tilda Swinton surely deserving an Oscar nominee nod come January time. Surprisingly good too was Footloose (7.5 out of 10), a remake of the 80s classic that is very possibly better than the original!

Day 244 - Thursday, September 1st, 2011

September 1st, and two-thirds of the year have elapsed already - amazing stuff. The event was celebrated with a Deal Lunch with Gillian Hugh and Ruaraidh from work, in nearby Bia Bar, where a starter, a burger and chips and a glass of vino set each of us back a mere tenner.

At Thursday Night Darts Club 97, six athletes went to post, where John "The Equaliser" Delaney won his 2nd title in succession, with a relatively comfortable win. Jimmy "The Dark Destroyer" Leach took 2nd and 30+ precious TNDC World Chanmpionship ranking points.
