One JR safely picked up and deposited back home, I had time to play around with the buttons on my new car stereo while I was waiting for him. I know how to use the radio parts of it now, but as it has no CDs in, the disk multichanger bits of it are as yet still unexplored.
But I did discover I can pick up Derby classic sounds, so I had plenty of cheesy 80's pop to listen to on the way home.
Yey! 80's cheese!
Now maybe if I'm lucky I can settle in and do something with the rest of my evening.
Have to remember to pop into the city on saturday. Need Total Film, Empire, my comics and some new CDs, darnit.
Now though I really do have to ask... the story synopsis for Unlimited #44 on the Marvel website;
The bi-weekly action continues! Not all of the battles the X-MEN fight have the fate of the world hanging in the balance - some are much more important. This issue, the X-MEN take a stand against animal cruelty.
Is it me or does that just sound painfully hokey? I mean really REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel kinda' bad?
I think I might have been onto something with the monstrously silly ficlet from the other day. They used up all the clever ideas already, now they need to think up some new spiffy adventures. ;) *gets all Enid Blyton*
["It's just not fair," sighed Scott. "It's such a glorious day and we're stuck inside helping mother. It really is perfect weather to go exploring. Or for a swim in the cove."
"I wonder if we finished our chores quickly mother would let us go and see the traveling circus that arrived last night?" asked Kurt excitedly. "I heard they had lions and tigers in big brightly coloured cages, and a man who can put his head in their mouths!"
"Rather!" replied Jeannie. "Poor Wolvie's fed up with being locked in the kitchen too, aren't you, Wolvie?"
Wolvie barked loudly and wagged his tail...]
It's like in the Radio Times this week it has a little bit about the most PC character ever created for EastEnders. A disabled black single mum who was also a doctor.
It was considered seriously by half the creative team before being dismissed by the rest as "just too silly".
Not that there aren't disabled black single mum doctors, but the chances of one ending up in Albert Square? Just a tiny bit unlikely there...
She'd probably end up murdered or having a severely neurotic time... just like everyone else on that program in fact.
