Sleepypete's Pillow

Dropping by from cq’s place to wish you a happy day 🙂
Love the flowers you sent to her, how kind of you!!

Going to have to visit that shop again sometime soon, not been back there for ages. It’s in an awkward location :

Park in town – gotta walk plus the car parks are a rip off
Park at Borders – gotta go down and up a hill

Trip back from mum’s and dad’s place was pretty easy. 3 hours to do 180 miles, without too much moron annoyance. Now watching an episode of Space 1999, which is another series that passed me by when it was originally on. So I’m catching up with it being shown on ITV4. They’ve got to the end of season 1, so the next ones to come on will have a treat in the shape of the giggling Catherine Schell. Still playing “Spot the continuity error”. We’ve had Eagle 1 try to take off and fail, with a different centre pod to the one it took off with a few minutes later. They mean well though. It’s not up to the standards of shows like Farscape and Babylon 5 but has a very good try considering what they had available when making it.

A workmate and I used to try and keep up with some hobbyists who are keen on Space 1999 but we’ve been driven away by their policy with non-registered users. Which is to only allow them to view a highly limited number of posts before they get locked out. Not particularly interested in giving a username, password and email to people who use a policy like that … A shame cos there’s a few people in there that are amusing.

Seven Swords will be taping soon, we watched that in the cinemas a couple of years ago and it’ll be well worth watching again. Not tonight though – I’m pretty tired after the weekend.

The flowers you sent Crazie Queen are georgeous!
What a guy….!

Oh – dinner last night was good. And the dog enjoyed the remnants of my steak.

He didn’t gobble them down, he INHALED them.

Yey 🙂 Both deliveries came through ok. I was getting jittery when I was ordering because Lastminute.com were having arguments with my credit cards …

May have to fire them again next year and go back to Flowergram 🙂

Just came from CQ’s where I saw a picture of the BEAUTIFUL Flowers you sent her for Mother’s Day….Lovely of you to do that every year! Hope you have a marvelous Mother’s Day Lunch with ypur Family!

(Mothers Day her in The States is in May…..Funny, isn’t it?)

Hmm. A little research later 🙂

Looks like my first upgrade is likely to be speakers & amp. A PS3 has its digital output going the optical way, my current speakers/amp only take digital in through a cable. So speakers will be the first target 🙂

It’ll let me hook up the skybox anyway … Cos that currently goes through my telly. The Samsung I have looks ok but the sound is pretty awful compared to my Creative Audio 5.1 set.

Lol – you know more than you let on there 🙂

Hey Son, Michele is the Mistress of Fate, sending me to see you tonight 🙂

I hope your mum has a lovely mother’s day tomorrow, with her family around her 🙂

No point me discussing IT with you – ‘cos you know I don’t get IT (geddit?)

I already have a Sony Bravia and PS3 and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that the difference is huge. The detail and clarity of image are amazing, and blacks actually look ‘black’.

I would plump for the PS3 if I were you, basically the PS3 is a better bluray player than most standalone bluray players. To get the same standard at the moment you would have to spend over £600. Oh, yeah, and some of the games are good too, and you can play PS1 games on them!
