two films i really really really want to see are Kill Bill Volume 1 and Intolerable Cruelty, both look very cool and great fun!

also great way to escape this crazy world.

Half Term break all next week, joy to the world! need to catch up on sleep and revision :( ( I have exams in Jan, 2 retakes and 1 A2 mod) so busy, busy, busy (plus assigments), no rest for the wicked ;)

My stance on the war: Did not support it mainly because the intentions were less than hourable not to mention being cynical of the whole operaration. Iraq was not a major threat to the west, in fact it barely registered in people's minds, so why attack it now?

America made 2 tatical mistakes in Iraq - 1) they disbanded the army, which is a real bad thing to do since you don't want unpaid, hungry, well armed men running amok and 2) Destroying whatever little infrastucture Iraq had left (even the Romans did not destroy they conqured terroity infrastrutre - these 2 mistakes have made Iraq a quagmire.

well thats just a shot introduction, will hope to post more.
