Just back from a fabulous night at the virgin Shorts in Edinburgh. Some really good films just off to vote. Great company, lots of free food and drink. What more could you ask for?? Many thanks Yin, wish you could have come too.

Just back from a fantasic night at Virgin Shorts with marjoreen and her fabulous mum! A great night was had. Few good films - short but sweet. Missed Wee Yinster and Arthur the Caterpillar.

Sorry Edinburgh fmukers! The weather was crap and windy so was pretty cosy at home with OH. Wish I could had come. Any good short films this year? Anything is better than last year's winner.

[marjoreemarjora]

yes some really good ones,animation with painter and a bee, the Plotters, the Laugh, The one with the three men can't remember what is was and mum loved the first one with the rocket dog

Great night, look forward to going to the cameo again as they are going to show one with the main feature I think

Went with some mates to the finals day (crown green bowling) at the Waterloo in Blackpool. The weather was sunny, I know Blackpool and sunny aren't usually seen in the same sentence, and this made for a great day. There were eight players playing down down to a winner. Unfortunately one of the finalists became ill and therefore he had to concede the game. I'm sure the winner (Gary Ellis)who has won this prestigious comp three times before would much rather have played but these things can't be helped.
p.s. There's a cracking chippy just around the corner from the venue. : )

Received a spam email and it was impossible to find a link. I've been looking for the right place where to post this but I can't find it.
So here it is, if it is of any good to anyone:
"The brilliant new Jennifer Lawrence film 'House At The End Of The Street' is out this Friday and to celebrate we've teamed up with SCHUH to give one lucky winner a YEAR'S SUPPLY OF ROCKET DOG SHOES AND BAGS plus a private screening of the film for the winner and 20 of their friends.

The closing date for the competition is 15th October 2012, so hurry down to your nearest SCHUH store for more details."
Best of Luck

So.. I ended up b*ying a Samsung Galaxy Ace at the O2 store as I can't afford a better one. Does anyone have this one?
It looks ok but if you have any feedback...

Oh - what a day! Thank goodness I'm home! Have a look at our weather. One picture shows Durham City Centre.
