A moderate film; not really enough plot or action to satisfy, and only one significant car chase in a film where 50 high-performance cars are stolen!

Meant to say – saw Shrek last week at the cinema (superb film – go see!), and then Gone in 60 Seconds on DVD (a moderate film; not really enough plot or action to satisfy, and only one significant car chase in a film where 50 high-performance cars are stolen!). Also played my first Playstation […]

Great Enigma (1139: A Simple Addition) this week – took me probably about 3 hours in the end, but it’s the type I enjoy most.

Wow – not written anything for a while – been busy + had a week off last week. After two weeks of naff enigma’s (1136, 1137) last week’s was good (1138: Pedal Power), although I have little confidence in the answer I eventually got! This week’s is my favourite type (letters for numbers). Oh yes, […]
