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

ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
