Formula One Themeparks

The official Formula One website has revealed plans for the first of a number of F1 themeparks - located in Dubai, with the opening scheduled for 2009.

If this is a success will we see more around the world?  I can only hope so.

A bit fishy…

Spotted on the BBC News site by a friend…

I walked out of Borat.

It’s very rare me to walk out of a movie.

However the utterly dreadful “Borat” earns that dubious honour. I’ll admit, I probably don’t get the joke, as everyone else in the cinema seemed to be howling with laughter as two (already established) homophobic male characters wrestled naked on a hotel bed (whilst smashing the room up in the process) - but I just don’t find it funny. Nor did I find the incredible levels of racism acceptable (yes, I understand it’s a joke) nor the scatological humour, or the polite American hostess explaining to Borat how to use a toilet.

It’s an 84 minute film that’s 83 minutes too long (timings taken from the IMDB, I walked out at around the 40 minute mark). The character and jokes may work as a 30 second TV sketch, but not a near 90 minute movie.

Utterly dreadful.

Ouch

Well, I finally managed to get to a circuits class at the gym, and it wasn’t fun…

However, I will be going back next time, as in the words of the song - “things can only get better”

Update: Well, it’s now 8am on the morning after and I ache everywhere.

Recharging

A few days away at my parents place, and I'm recharged - plus I've lost weight to boot!

Update: an hour back at work and I feel like I'd never left - it doesn't take long for the pressure and stress to come back :-(
