My spy boy told your spy boy, I’m gonna set you flag on fi-yo.

I said, hey now, hey now,
Aiko aiko all day, jockomo feeno na na nay, jockomo feena nay.

My grandma and your grandma were sitting by the fire
Said my grandma to your grandma, gonna get your tail on fire.

I said, hey now, hey now,
Aiko aiko all day, jockomo feeno na na nay, jockomo feena nay.

I like this film… There, I said it!

For some reason I don’t know of a single other person who admits to liking this film, but I do. In fact, I’ve just bought the DVD to replace the video of it. It’s just a shame that the DVD has a few frames missing on about 3 scenes, which spoils it a little.

Thanks to Kim who sent me This Link from the Guinness Book of records, I now know that this film holds the world record for the largest box office loss.

Well… Nothing like manual labour to clear your perspective!

I’m never sure whether it’s the manual labour itself (and the sense of achievement and lack or required thought) or just the fact that I’m actually capable of manual labour, but it always makes me feel better for some reason :dances:

We got a new steam cleaner today, so I spent several happy hours cleaning the carpet in the front room. I was going to do the sofa as well, but by the time I got that far I was feeling a bit wrecked…

That’s it… I’m moving to Mars… Earth people Suck!!!

The Estate Agent has promised me that Mars is devoid of all intelligent life (well, not much different to here then…) and that I will be quite within my rights to shot all trespassers…

That said, just to deter any potential visitors, I have decided that shooting is to quick, so all trespassers will be shot, hung, drawn, quartered, beheaded, boiled in oil and have their fingernails removed buy a large gerbil!

Now I just need to find the cash to get the signs printed… Wonder if the printer will accept sexual favours instead of cash… I’m a little short right now…

Not many people seem to have heard of this show, it was a cartoon series from late 1987 that has just been released on DVD.

I remember watching it when it was eventually shown here in England several years later, and was always surprised that it wasn’t more popular, since it had magic, mystery, adventure, swords, armour and some cool animal totems… Yet they only ever made 13 episodes, which I always thought was very disappointing.

There are some films that are so bad they are enjoyable… I’m in two minds whether this was one of them or not.

It comes across as one of those low budget thriller/horror/slasher kinds of movies, the sort where all the films in the area share the actors, the sets and the props… These are the films where the acting is more wooden than the sets and the sets have that habit of moving more than the actors do.

Having said that, I should mention that I have a somewhat perverse love of those films, and that, whilst the content of this film falls into that category, the acting wasn’t too bad and the sets/props seemed a higher calibre, so I’m guessing that this wasn’t an especially low budget film.

I was just reading deadcase‘s journal today and realised something… The thoughts he had managed to put words to is exactly the way I’ve been feeling the past week or so… I just didn’t realise it.

It’s that feeling of stagnation, when your life isn’t really moving forward, but not moving back either, it’s just kind of floating there in it’s own private limbo.

It’s funny, when you’re at school you have to make all these choices of subjects, career opportunities etc., and I was just never sure what I wanted to do.

Well it’s that time of year again…

Time for the Eurovision Song Contest.

I’ve watched this every year for as long as I can remember… But this year, after seeing the first song… I’m taping it so I can scuttle through…

There are songs from earlier years that I still listen to and sing along with now… But not for the past 3 or 4 years… It seems to have gone downhill a bit.

I’m just not sure where to start with this film.

It’s one of those that’s not all that great, yet hysterically funny at the same time.

Let me try and explain…

Being the kind of film it is, there isn’t a great deal of depth to it, but then it’s not meant to be a deep and meaningful plot.

I wasn’t going to review this film for several reasons… Firstly it’s an old film and has been out on video and DVD for some time, but mostly because, as entertaining as it is, it’s not really anything outstanding.

But after re-watching it, I changed my mind.

It’s too entertaining to not mention, not to mention the soundtrack that you can’t help but sing along to…

“jump, magic jump,
jump magic, jump
put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him freak…”
