Transformers

Saw this last night - thanks to Amazon DVD rental.

I really enjoyed this film, I thought it was great - if slightly too long for my liking. I think they could've taken about half an hour of action out of it and it would've been the better for it!

Effects were great, it was pretty well acted, good bits of humour, even if Bumblebee did make me think 'Herbie' initially - all this despite some continuity issues.

Anyone know if they're doing a sequel?

Injured?

Went for a run this morning as part of my training to run the Bath Half marathon.

Unfortunately about 3.5 miles in, I appear to have done something to my lower calf/achilles tendon area. It's quite painful, though not when I'm not using it (which I guess must be a good thing). Hopefully it won't take too long to heal as I can't really afford to get too much more behind training.

Pointlessness

I just stumbled across this on the BBC iplayer website, while I was looking for Planet Earth.

Can anyone please explain to me the point of this being on there!? Surely the very fact I'm there suggests I know about the magical iplayer service.

Also - why use that advert at all when the content is not even on there?! The Top Gear iplayer advert actually makes sense as you can get Top Gear from iplayer...
