I saw 127 Hours the other day. I thought I’d write about it and include images from the film which might be a bit illegal. Ooh danger! Read on. Don’t worry, it won’t spoil it… too much.
Danny Boyle is hoping to make it two Oscars in a row with this true story about mountain climber Aaron Rolston whose arm was trapped under a boulder for five days before he eventually cut it off with a blunt blade. It stars James Franco. Is it bloody great, or just bloody?

Christmas shouldn’t be about spending money or who splashed more cash on who. It should be about family, togetherness and being nice to each other for one day… and all that schmultzy guff. I for one just go crazy for those pigs in blankets! Why do we have them just ONCE a year? We’re all idiots. If I’m PM someday (If? When!) my first policy will be ‘more pigs-in-blankets on plates’. So, is it possible to do your gift shopping and not empty your wallet? Read on and see how I took on Christmas spending and beat it. Or did I? You decide.

My housemate Jodie first noticed the mice. She’d left chocolate out in her room – which is shockingly untidy for a girl, it’s like Basrah in there – and she spotted the unmistakable nibble marks on the bar. To be honest, I wasn’t that bothered. I thought “well, you shouldn’t be such a messy git”. She left the bar out twice more due to astonishing laziness, both times the mouse came back. It wasn’t till I heard a squeak late one night in my own – slightly less warzone-esque room – that I took the whole thing seriously.
