WELL THAT WORKED.

Chris Evans | 15:07 UK time, Wednesday, 7 November 2007

Good film discussion yesterday and it all means that...

...basically I print out every film title that appeared on yesterday's blog (including gorgeous george's top 100) and watch them over the next few years, yes that seems to have definitely worked.

So Autumnwatch last night, apparently NOTHING happened, well that's the chance you take I suppose. We made the mistake of watching the current episode of Spooks and then next weeks which you can get to see over on ´óÏó´«Ã½ 3 half an hour later. This is just basically one huge mistake for two reasons. Obviously we have't got one to watch next week now and secondly I was so tired I didn't really enjoy the bonus episode anyway AND it all finished so late, I was knackered when i woke up this morning.

Too much, too damn much.

Simple, simple, simple what's wrong with me ?

Tonight staying in The Big Smoke so gonna chill out at the cinema and then not have to rush back 60 miles home for another bleary eyed desperate attempt at some shut eye.

Just been on the biccie run, settled down to a nice cuppa and realsied that I've picked up the wrong packet of biscuits in the shop, some weird white chocolate and fruit flavour. Gutted.

    Oooh Dear CLP not like you to be at 6's and 7's is it? In a way it's good to know that even you have days when you're not firing on all cylinders though no doubt it won't sound that way once you're on air at 5!

    I'm going to celebrate my friend "small person's" birthday this evening, just pop round to her house, take her a bottle of bubbly (the flowers were delivered earlier) and have a girlie chin wag. Bliss!!!

    Bleurgh, white chocolate, bleurgh again!!!!! That is so disappointing. Can you not smile sweetly and get someone to go out again??

    No more film talk then - just to say Scent of a Woman will make you want to take up the Tango!

    You did make me laugh last night CLP, talking about how gross you'd look with a tattoo! And Jonny's theory that you have to have strong arms to have a tattoo, no matter where it is on your body ha ha ha ... and where's Sal's tattoo????????? Hmmmmmmmmm????? That could be a new party game, pin the tat on the Sal ...

    Chris,

    I never, ever, (no matter how tempting) stay up to watch the "bonus" episode of anything. For the very reasons you have quoted. However, you learn from your mistakes and move on!

    And it's good you are staying in town tonight - enjoy your evening and then you don't have to drive home at some ungodly hour.

    I have a fabulous evening lying ahead: cook a chicken stir fry; clean kitchen; iron; clean bathroom. Couldn't I just come along to the cinema with you and Natasha, instead?

    Christophe! What a wizard wheeze! You are in for some lovely sunday afternoons in...when you and Mrs CLP aren't dashing about like the blue-bottomed flies we all know...

    Ah yes Missy. Definitely Sundays.

    But, CLP, I refer to my comment earlier today regarding last nights Autumn Watch.

    Bill Oddie's "Snatch of the Day"

    followed by

    Kate Humble's "Let's take a look at the Beavers"

    Worth every second of non-event for the last 5 minutes!

    Mrs Brit Out Of Water hasn't seen a single episode of Spooks in her life, so the DVDs now sit on our shelf, awaiting to be used as part of the next stage of my ongoing Education in British TV for Spouses course. We're still on the "Life On Mars" section of the syllabus right now though...

    Debbie, hope you feel more cheerful and better soon. Don`t worry about having a moan or expressing your emotions here, I`m sure Christophe and bloggers won’t mind. I expect I have got on loads of peoples nerves with my rantings and woe`s at some time or another. Sorry guys.

    I think we are in for a windy few days, according to the weather forecast.

    Christophe enjoy the big smoke, I`m enjoying fresh air!

    I love tim burton's films especially big fish and corpse bride, really fantastic.

    Morning all,

    The only annual fim I have to watch is Love Actually and I watch it in the run up to the Christmas period. This year I'm going to let my girls watch it as I feel they are old enough and it is going to be a big family event.

    Actually I'm glued to Autumn watch - like hazel love I'm enjoying all the snatch & beaver talk - how can they say that without laughing or maybe it's just me?

    Do any of you have favourite words? Mine at the moment is undercrackers - I heard someone use it instead of knickers or pants or what ever word you use. I just love it and try to get it into as many sentances as I can. How about guys am I the only one with fav words?

    Saw GP yesterday re: knee, no better advice other than I need to try and avoid this surgery at all costs??? I am seeing physio again next week then have appt with work medical staff to decide on way forward. I'm going to ask for a 2nd opinion from another surgeon I think.

    Happy thirsty Thursday! Have decided to stay dry tonight, as have been drinking every night this week and feel like a need a rest. And I'm only 23, how sad.

    Cathmel - I'm a lover of words - 'undercrackers' is a good 'un. I tend to call knickers 'grundies'. I've been trying to reintroduce regional colloquialisms into my everyday vocab and, being from Leicester, these include "ooh ya date" (= "ooh ya devil" or similiar) and "you daft 'apporth" ( = "you silly thing" etc).

    Thursday again. Em M it's the Truman Show. I thought it was superb until it seemed like they couldn't think of a way to finish it! Mind you, I couldn't think of a way to finish it either...

    ...missed Autumn Watch last night, but I'm sure there were a few in your endos tossed about...

    So, Kiera Knightley. I LOVE Love Akshully except the bits with her in. Likewise Pirates of the Johnny Depp. She reminds me of Susan Tully who also used to walk about with her mouth open all the time and just one blank expression. My Gran'ma would say she looks like she's catching flies! Good luck to her all the same. Can't be doing with Andie McDowell either or Patrick Swayze but then it wouldn't do if we all liked the same things now would it?

    Now then. Is it me? I keep coming across things I thought I'd done but haven't. Nothing earth-shattering or of vital international importance...just stuff...

    Just popping in quickly, thanks for being so kind guys. Will be back later, have lots to do before take little man to school. My reasons for feeling so awful don't even seem like good ones, which makes me feel worse. I would love to explain more but you never know who's lurking (regular bloggers, I'm sure you know what I mean!) I will attempt an edited version when I have five minutes!

    Gingembre - please don't "think" about it - get a second opinion. We are too polite when it comes to the medical profession and we tend to think we shouldn't make a fuss. You are getting conflicting advice, so make sure you get someone else's opinion.

    Hazel - When those adverts for hair colour come on with Andie MacDowell, I have to mute the tv. Either that or I will scream in pain - that voice! And Andie - you are the worst actress ever, love!

    Yo CLP & ALL Blog Dudes,

    Bingo Star ere.

    Clodagh - Aiyaaa Yaaraaight!!!!!!!!

    General Chat - It was interesting ter see all the different film titles pop up again.

    Dan The Man - I thought your post on yesterdees blog was very impressive - listing the Top 100.
    Must 'ave taken ages to writ Dan man!!!!!

    CLP - Dat iz commitment ter the blog friend!

    I'VE GOT A PROBLEM - I don't know what ter do over me astro.... I don't know what sign ter start with!

    The obvious choice is the leader of the blog, CLP's sign aka Aries.

    But then that will mean Pisces coming last which, pisceans being sensitive, might send them over the edge.

    But then if pisces are last then they might get the most professional write up as i'll be more experienced at writing up astro after 11 previous write ups.

    But then that could mean my least professional would be Aries which is an insult ter our blog leader CLP.

    But then maybe i'll be trying 'arder on my first & 'ence do a better job of it.

    But then that, again, could mean by the time I come ter the last, aka pisces, i'll be so laid back after doing 11 previous that pisces will get a write up full of mistakes. They say familarity breeds contempt!

    Tell yer wot.... i'll start with the sign of Mercury.

    'old on, old on. 'oldddd on..... am just getting a message in me ear piece..... am geting told "Mercury iz not a zodiac sign"!!!!

    I don't know what ter do CLP/ blog friends..... am totally confused, any advice?

    I'm off out tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday night with Horse Riding lesson on Sunday - Monday looks promising for a rest......

    Sorry for my absence of late. Brief catch-up:-

    Show in West End last Thursday was OK. Not the best musical I've ever seen but it pleasantly passed two hours.

    Weekend was fun and filled with beer and fireworks.

    Chubby Club: it's still coming off. 12 in total now (pounds, not stones!)

    Hugs to all blog friends with things on their minds. I've been lurking and thinking of you. Honest.

    missy/Hazel: today I'm wearing my new black and gold cowboy boots from "that" auction site. A bargain at under a fiver but they're higher than I'm used to so I look like I've been on the gin every time I attempt to walk anywhere. And it makes me about 5'10" which is kinda scary for the little men in the office - but really funny!

    Films: every Christmas I have to watch Love Actually. And I cry every time. Can't be doing with the Keira woman either. Have a meal, for goodness sakes!

    Also love Pulp Fiction, About a Boy, Notting Hill, My Best Friends Wedding, Bridget Jones Diary, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the daddy of them all ... Dirty Dancing.

    CLP - if there's any of your white choccy bics left please pass them this way. I love white chocolate and have another week until I have to face the scales again!

    Right, I'll pop back later to catch up again.

    Love hugs and kisses my dahlings!
