Induction to destruction

Quotes of the moment: While watching LOTR II, Jim commented:

"Saruman asks his magic 8-ball: Where has Gandalf gone?..."

When the Uruk-Hai and goblins stop for a rest, having hobbit-napped Merry and Pippin:
"Ok - anyone who needs the loo, go now, because we're not stopping from now until we get there!"

LOL...

My Tescos induction this morning was very exciting! I spent 4 hours watching videos, reading health and safety bumf, finding out about the Tesco pension scheme, filling in lots of forms and eating sweets. There were bowls of assorted sweets - Wine Gums, Minstrels, mints, toffees - in quite large quantities... How handy! So I am officially employed by Tesco now, working from 1pm til 6pm on Friday and Saturdays on refilling the shelves after the ravages of the week!

This afternoon I went to the Freeport cinema with Jim and Jimmy to watch Alien vs Predator (AVP). It was surprisingly good! The plot was obviously less than plausible, but the acting was alright, and there were a few amusing take-offs of the previous films in both series. The real stars, however, were obviously the extra-terrestrials themselves. Both Aliens and Predators were classy, and must have been a compilation of CGI and the original style mechanical models... The most entertaining part of the film had to be when the sole surviving Predator and the woman scientist who was helping him have just disposed of the Alien threat. They're standing on a cliff looking down, then look at each other... He removes his helmet, but the pig-like snout and huge teeth must have put her off the classic last-scene snogging! Obviously, afterwards in the carpark Jim attacked me like an Alien, jumping on me and driving his hand into my chest like it was a spiked and barbed tail! Thanks Jim m8!

Sit-Rep: I'm in Jimmy's room, watching The Two Towers on his obscenely huge TV. We = myself, Jimmy, Jim and Jim's elvish girlfriend Emma. It's true, she really is elvish. I've taken a picture of her with ears poking out, just to prove it. I tried to get her to pose next to the screen when Arwen popped up, but she refused. Spoilsport! However, she is t3h cool... Suitably nervous at being in my intimidating prescence, of course. Until I air guitared over backwards on Jimmy's wheely-chair, anyway! She and Jim seem to get on really well... They're both very dirty minded, for one thing! :P

Photos will hopefully go up later today, when I get up. If I can persuade the camera into connecting, that is, and if I survive attempting a morning weights session! It won't be too strenous though: pumping with one arm while the other holds a book! Also conditional on me making it back home in one piece! YAWN...
