I’ve retaken up an interest in learning (British) Sign Language, I first started learning in middle school and then dropped the interest entirely in Secondary school, partially because there were no obvious ‘clubs’ let alone a ‘Sign’ one. At University I received a bit of a culture shock at the first Freshers Fair; so many clubs and Soc’s to choose from! In the end I whittled it down to 2, first choice was the University of Bristol Guide and Scout (UBGAS) Club, after 15 years of Scouting I was hardly going to give it up now! The second choice was the Kayaking club with the intention of completing the Physical part of my Queen Scout Award (which I now have

I’ve made a snapshot of the imdb top 250 films, I’ve completely watched 105 films on the current list and partially seen around a dozen more. There are several films on that list as someone that considers themselves a casual film buff to not have seen all the way through is embarrassing and they are The Silence of the Lambs, Taxi Driver, Lawrence of Arabia, The Shining, Jaws, The Exorcist and Spartacus. I don’t know what is is that prevented me from seeing them all the way through, but there always seem to be interruptions or distractions that pull be away and I never get to pick them up later. There is one movie that I watched as a child but I’ve not really watched it since, as a Romantic Drama I’ve always wanted to watch it with a girl, sadly I’ve never found one willing to snuggle up and watch it with 
so I consider it unseen despite having watched it ages ago....read more »
It’s doing the rounds and I’ve finally given in; these circulars are silly but they’re also fun to review after a year or so, plus it helps you to get to know me a little better if you’ve merely popped by my blog rather than being an avid reader.

This list is by no means exhaustive, merely a collection of films I’ve heard about or have a particular interest in for either content, continually or composition. I probably won’t go to see all of them at the cinema but quite certainly I will the starred ones, as such I wouldn’t mind accompaniment so let me know about a week or so before....read more »
When I happen across a site with a uniquely absurd purpose, useful in the remotest likelihood I’ll need it again but not useful enough to remember, I save it. I’ve decided to share the best of the feckless bookmark bunch with you for humorous purposes,

For recent design project I spent the better part of a day trying to find out the name of a 72 faced shape. Finding the schema for naming a 2 dimensional shape, also known as a polygon, by its number of faces was easy; wikipedia had a brief naming table. Finding a similar table for a 3 dimensional shape, or polyhedron, was a lot harder (I actually had to use a book!) but very obvious when I found it. ...read more »
