Good on you, 'Mumbler.  You should make Dredd heads your latte-art speciality! Swans are for grexnixes.

so after another failed attempt to get hold of vol 1 of Transformers The Definitive G1 Collection and being told by WHSmiths to try another store I went down to the entertainer to get a World of Nintendo 10cm Link in Goron Tunic Figure which they dont have even there where house is sold out so they cant get one in on the plus side I did manage to get the smyths staff to reserve me the 4 30th anveresey amiibos and I found these whilst I was walking round the shops so today was not a complete loss.

So this evening, after a rather forced early Christmas Dinner (on the effin' 11th!) for family who are heading off on a month-long round-the-world honeymoon (their choice of dates, but my 74-year old mother who got leaned on for the peri-seasonal catering... had I known this would actually involve the full Turkey'n'Ham show, I would have stepped in), I unwound with an electronics session with the Boy where we got the arm servo for his robotic snowman decoration working to order*, and with eventual world domination assured, we then settled down to our scheduled Christmas Movie, Die Hard, the Boy's (10) first viewing. 

Despite a reputed total of 47 'fucks' in addition to the 3 memorable 'motherfuckers' and a single set of boobs, we didn't think it too many.


*I kid you not when I tell you it's programmable with homemade punch-cards - and if we can get the bloody amplifier circuit working tomorrow will have a light show playing in time to  Jingle Bells! Arduino may be just be the single greatest thing in the world.

Huh. There are boobies in die hard? (Not belonging to Bruce Willis, I mean. Not that the stringy vest is that revealing.)

Two full sets, if you count the naughty calendar and discount the Brucie Bonus.

Personally I felt the potential for moral corruption afforded by a brief waist-up glimpse of workplace party nookie was more than offset by the most damning portrayal of drug use ever committed to film: if Ellis doesn't put you off snorting coke, I don't know what will.

Yippie-Kye-Ay!

My girlfriend is minding a pal's house while he's away so last night I spent a good hour fucking around with his range of fully assembled Lego Technics stuff. This truck was my favourite.
