Thumbs Up or Down

Ok, enough with the Legal orientated doom and gloom. Its Friday, so here's three things to make your life more fluffy and three things to avoid like a bagpipe recital:

Thumbs Up

1. Iplayer on the Wii. Oh no, I missed this weeks Shooting Stars and Victorian Pharmacy, what can I do? Watch it on my teeny tiny PC screen? Hell no, fire up the Wii and watch it on a big screen just like you were watching it off of the Telly live! The best thing since Mr Hovis took a large lump of cooked dough and decided to cut it into smaller bits of cooked dough.

2. Leddra Chapman- Telling Tales. Buy it! On CD..or on Itunes...its folky (but not too folky), its poppy (but not too poppy) and its like summertime encapsulated in one shiny musical disc.

3. Cold Case. People drone on and on about how great The Wire is, how brilliant CSI is blah blah blah (usually the same people who insist Skiing holidays are the only holidays worth going on). But everyone seems to overlook this fantastic US crime series. Sadly now finished but there are constant repeats on Sky 1, 2, 3.

Thumbs Down

1. Sick. Or rather the increasing number of people who use the word to mean "great" or "wicked". It doesn't sound very nice. Stop it.

2. 3D. Everything is in 3D now. The cricket's in 3D. A film isn't complete if it isn't in 3D. Really? Ok, well I better never watch the Godfather again until someone makes Marlon Brando jump out of the screen. Conversely, go and get me a copy of Jaws 3D because that was such a fantastic film. It's all James Cameron's fault.

3. Budget Airlines. Wow, my flight is only £2.00!! All I've got to pay now is £25 for my case, £20 to check in, £18 for using my credit card and £20 so I can actually sit next to the person I'm travelling with. And worst of all, £6.00 for a sweaty Ginsters sandwich. No thanks.
