Hope you are well. This morning my train was canceled and the next one was delayed. It is 14*C outside with scattered showers...The rain has been relentless and i blame it all on the fact that the Wimbledon tennis tournament has started. The price of a first class stamp is 46p.
The 'Green Lantern' movie opened at cinemas this past weekend and i spent a happy Sunday evening a group of geeks watching the film in 3D. I say group of geeks, there was an elderly couple sitting next to me who didn't have the foggiest idea what was going on...lucky i was there to help them! just as i'm here to help you lucky reader...
The Guardians of the Universe are one of several races that originated on the planet Maltus, and were among the first intelligent life forms in the universe. The Guardians dedicated themselves to combating evil and create an orderly universe and relocated to the centre of the universe to the planet Oa. they tried doing this with robots called Manhunters...this didn't work out so the Guardians decided that their newest force of soldiers for good would consist of living beings, ones who had free will and strong moral character. They called them 'The Green Lanterns'. The weapon of choice created was the 'Power ring', rings of inconceivably-advanced technology that allowed their wearers to project green beams of energy with which the bearer could conjure objects of any size or shape, limited only by their imagination and willpower...therefore if you were about to get beaten up by 4 huge blokes you can imagine a giant Monty Python-esque shoe to flatten them and because your wearing the power ring it would actually happen! The movie is the story of how Hal Jorden becomes a member of the Green Lanterns...It was pretty awesome!There's loads of detail i've missed out and i'm sure if you ask nicely i'll fill you in. I've become quite a comic book geek in the last couple of years so as i'm sure you can imagine it was a great evening out for me. It had been a busy old weekend, you see, it turns out Chris is coming down to stay with me Saturday so i've been finding places to hid my ever expanding comic book collection and shopping at Ikea for things to make my place look presentable. While he's here we'll do a couple of Podcasts so if you have any topics you'd like us to discus let us know before the weekend.
Anyway mate i'm off now to check on the latest news updates and put the finishing touches to this weeks Podcast... It's a 'Fast and Furious' special.
Take care buddy,
Yours,
Little Dave
