I am a Trend Setter

It's Official

I have named myself as the chief trend setter in paving the way for white cars.  I saw 5 new cars in the space of 10 minutes today, all white and with 59 or 10 number plates.  However, I am now not unique as there is at least one other white Micra driving around Stortford - how dare they!

The Night Out - Robin Hood

First of all NBF* stood us up, we failed to go on a CACTUS** so had to go on an ORANGE*** instead, Empire then had no Minstrels so I had to go for the buttons, which melted during the course of the film, and Pinkele had a fight with the popcorn.  However, Russell Crowe was OK as Robin - albeit a bit on the beafy side and he seemed to mutter a lot (probably to cover up the lousy accent).  Cate Blanchett made a slightly off putting middle aged Maid Marion and the attraction between the two characters was not very believable.  Friar Tuck looked just like Nick Frost (goes off to Goggle) wrong - it was Mark Addy.


See there is a likeness - really




SO consensus on Robin Hood  - Imo thought it was good, would watch it again and her favourite character was King John (this is so wrong).

Result: Imo will watch and enjoy any rubbish so don't take any of her reviews to heart. 


Life in the House of Imo


So I've decided it's time to show a little insight in the house of Imo.  Looking around the house last weekend, Boy No. 1 had a giant space hopper in his room   (he's 14).  Boy No. 2's phone had exploded (only had it since Christmas) and Boy No. 3 was in a box  (he's 8, so this sort of behaviour is  acceptable).



The bed is mine!

 


The Vodaphone shop had never seen anything like it!



Danger - please do not feed


* NBF = new best friend a.k.a. Keith with the pathetic excuse that he was off on a photo shoot to Barcelona the next day.
** CACTUS = cheep as chips Tuesday at the local cinema
*** ORANGE = two for the price of one on Wednesday if you've got an orange phone.   Neither of us had, but it's the thought that counts.

  1. The terrible accents, a cross between midlands (Ok could live with that as Nottingham is in the Midlands) and Irish* killed Robin for me.

    * If it had been different characters I could have let it pass**

    ** Plus I’m sure they broke into an Irish jig at one point….

    What as in different characters and a different story. Oh no, hang on, they did change the story - and in doing so, have scuppered any chance of a Robin Hood 2, i.e. robbing the rich to give to the poor until Richard The Lionheart returns from his crusade!
