I am now back home in Scotland waiting on my NOE arriving from the MCA, which will hopefully be sometime soon.
Since there isn’t really much to do up here I have spent my time randomly revising and writing a family tree program for my dad’s web site – which is now finished and will soon be available for anyone to download who wants it. I have also spent the time visiting the cinema and tidying my room – not very exciting.
Jumping back to the NOE, if anyone reading this happens to be a student (or former student) at Glasgow College of Nautical Studies and has a copy of some “orals reports” for the MCA examiners at Glasgow, please drop me an email! Similarly if you’ve sat your Orals at Glasgow feel free to do the same.

So having liked the previous Ice Age’s I traipsed off to the Showcase in Glasgow to see Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Unfortunately they weren’t running the 3D version of it, but I don’t think it would have made that much of a difference to my opinion of the film.
I won’t give any of the story away – even though most of you will have already seen it – but it was shockingly disappointing, there was the odd funny bit – primarily provided by Scrat – but there’s only so many times you can laugh at a squirrel chasing an acorn before its just not funny any more!
Anyway, moving swiftly on to Harry Potter 6: The Half Blood Prince. Anyone who knows me will know that I love the Harry Potter books and generally like the films. This latest film though is terrible – I accept that the books are now to big to fit into one film, but this latest one missed out several of what I would class as important parts of the book!
So here’s hoping the next film on the last book is much better!
