I have A New Room

Room 2 for the iPad that is. I greatly enjoyed the original game "The Room" - which I couldn't stop playing until I had finished. Now I have  set a limit of 15 minutes a day for myself - to let me enjoy the sequel a little longer.

Don’t Panic!

We are enjoying a rerun of all the nine series of Dad's Army and really, really enjoying it too. How is it possible that a comedy series which is 35 years old still is a funny as it is and not "Doooooooooomed..."? The cast is probably the answer - they are a perfect match for their individual characters. DA was also a movie, theatre show and radio series - maybe nice to listen to the latter.

And the Oscar goes to Tom Hanks for Captain Phillips

Wow: based on a true story this "Pirate" movie is really intense - especially the last half hour or so. It has everything to do with Tom Hanks, in his best role ever. It is an emotional roller coaster which grips you the moment the pirates get aboard and only lets you go when Hanks is letting go... Surely the best performance of the year.

How to sell air...

Would you like to breathe the air of the picturesque French town ofMontcuq? For just 5.50 euros (plus another five for shipping to the U.S.), a 250ml tin full of that air could be yours. And it is a big success. By the way in France the name Montcuq is frequently mispronounced as "mon cul," which translates to English as "my ass. So actually  "Air de Montcuq" is something like "the wind of my ass."  Well: you get the drift... On the label: "Fresh air of Montcuq is 100% organic, it immerses you in the depths of the city to refresh your ideas. Ideal when you are in need of creative inspiration. Attention: irreplaceable content, consumable once. Do not leave it open..."

Hmmm...
