X-Men 3

Thumbs up from me. Beaut special effects. Everyone is amazed at the CGI which shaves years off Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen’s faces in the flashback at the start of the movie. You might be offended if you’re a comic book purist.

World Cup Fantasy League

The World Cup is just around the corner and that means Fantasy League is also starting up again. 5 pounds to enter. Our friends & enemies league, the not-named-by-me “Kransky of the Overflow” league is forming – PIN 1129 if you want to join.

BTW it’s half-time in the Australia-Greece friendly and we’re up 1-0.
