this is going to be the most significant televisual event since Quantum Leap

My reaction to the two matches

My reaction to the two matches

Well the rugby was not so nice this weekend. I missed the start of the Wales v Scotland game, but was delighted to find out how well the Scots were doing. Until the end. Damn! that’s a hard terrible way to lose a game. Wales should count themselves very very lucky. Personally I’ll be shouting for their opposition in pretty much every match from here on. People of Scotland, you have my sympathy.

Course I also demand yours after the France Ireland game. Urgh is my well thought out and balanced report on that game.

Le sigh.

I didn’t watch the England Italy game. Himself isn’t a rugby fan so I didn’t think it fair to inflict 3 games in one weekend on him. And of them all I figured that wouldn’t be the prettiest. I have heard that Italy did a good job but England won it in the end. As expected really.

In much happier news I recently bought the British tv show Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace[1] and it is quite possibly the best spoof 80s horror show I’ve ever seen. Was in fits laughing from the very start.

Unfortunately there are only 6 episodes, and I’ve now watched them all :( Still have to watch them with the commentaries though, and they’re supposed to be great, done in character and everything. Here’s a taster:

    I've wanted to see Darkplace ever since seeing Matt Berry in the IT Crowd. I really like him a ton. But Netflix doesn't have Darkplace!!!! This upsets me so!!! I wish there was a better, quicker exchange between British and American shows.

      you need to get yourself a region free DVD player :)

      I've considered that a million times, and have even looked into it. They're not that expensive, and I've even heard there's a way to change the codes on regular DVD players. But laziness (and lack of funds) prevails. I guess I'm not THAT upset, am I? :D

    No, you are not. At least one of those exclamation marks was too many! tut tut
