Was re-reading some of the earlier blogs - seems that some folks were not too impressed with the the movie The Mist. Philistines the lot of you!!

No doubt if I mention The Dark Knight and Hellboy2 you'll all be ooohing and aaaaahing.

And that's the thing with movies. Mention the name of a film and you'll receive the full range of opinions. Movie taste is so personal, much like music - you can't please all the people all the time etc, etc.

Until the next time... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/100-back-again.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/60-oh-dear.html Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:32:19 GMT Well, looks like the end is nigh. My wife has decided to join TSF - probably just to find out what I'm up to. But, she has become addicted already to several threads in Offline. Reckon I'll rarely see her now...:grin:

Went to the physio again this week. Making progress and I've now managed to get hold of one of those stress balls. I need to start strengthening my finger muscles as much as possible before I go back again. It's sore, but hopefully worth it.

See you soon... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/60-oh-dear.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/55-new-year.html Mon, 07 Jan 2008 22:26:49 GMT ...and a new finger - well, hopefully.

I survived my little operation and my finger is now straight (well, reasonably straight, as long as I keep doing my exercises).

First 4 days I was in a half plaster cast and a sling. The rest was enjoyable, even if my wife did moan about me not being able to wash dishes etc.:grin:

The final bandage came off at the weekend just past, so I can now make people sick by showing them my zigzag scar.

Back to work as well...ho hum...... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/55-new-year.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/41-back-again.html Wed, 12 Dec 2007 20:53:14 GMT You didn't think I'd given up, did you? :grin:

Not much to report actually.

I have my daughter's Christmas concert at school tomorrow evening, so don't worry if I'm not around until later. She's singing and playing the cello (and no, not at the same time...). The school has various bands and orchestras and they are quite brilliant. I have no idea where she gets this musical talent from, as I can't play any musical instrument. One of life's great mysteries, I suppose.

Must be in the genes....somewhere.... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/41-back-again.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/38-its-weekend.html Fri, 07 Dec 2007 22:45:38 GMT At last! Been a busy week at work. Was looking for disks for my daughters laptop and found a bag containing 3 Easter Eggs - yummy! Well, two eggs and one of those Lindt chocolate bunnies.

My daughter is not that keen on chocolate yet she still receives almost a dozen Easter Eggs, so I feel obliged to help out.:grin:

Heaven only knows what else is hiding in her room. I'll do a proper expedition one of these days... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/38-its-weekend.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/35-did-you-miss-me.html Tue, 04 Dec 2007 22:24:43 GMT Just realised I hadn't posted a blog entry for a couple of days - what's the point of a blog if you don't post?

It's too early for Xmas decorations - there's nothing worse than seeing Xmas trees in houses in November! We'll do ours later, probably on the 15th/16th. My wife wants a new tree :rolleyes:, but I've convinced her to wait for the sales. :grin:

That's all folks......... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/35-did-you-miss-me.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/24-alright-now.html Tue, 27 Nov 2007 21:47:12 GMT Well, we did go to Casualty, but no X-ray. They don't X-ray for ribs! After some prodding the doctor decided that, at worst, my wife perhaps had a hairline fracture. And that was that. She would have been better attending the TSF Surgery. :laugh:

BTW, Christmas is nearly here....just thought I would depress everyone. ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/24-alright-now.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/20-another-fine-day.html Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:07:38 GMT I can't believe I'm now doing this - writing a blog, that is.

Tomorrow might be more interesting - may have to take my wife to hospital for an x-ray. She fell at the backdoor steps and thinks she may have cracked a rib. Local GP merely said take some pain killers - don't you just love the NHS?

Let's hope we have more luck at the hospital.... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/20-another-fine-day.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/14-horrors.html Sun, 25 Nov 2007 21:06:03 GMT The Fog was an old John Carpenter film and not related to this movie (or story, as far as I'm aware). The Fog was also the first novel by British horror writer James Herbert - an excellent read - and no monsters! The only monsters Herbert describes are human beings themselves... ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/14-horrors.html http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/9-interesting.html Sat, 24 Nov 2007 22:09:44 GMT .....I think. I don't usually read blogs (don't have time) so I guess this is something of a first.

Why anyone would want to read my insane ramblings is beyond me but....

Just found out the other day that a new film, called The Mist, is one I have been hoping someone would make for years. It's based on a Stephen King short story and I think it's one of his best. I still get shivers when I read it. Looks like I'll have to go and see it on my own though - my wife hates such films and my daughter is still under 18.

Well, hope you enjoyed that. :grin: ]]> Glaswegian http://www.techsupportforum.com/blogs/80104-glaswegian/9-interesting.html
