Do you have a male or female brain?

If you have a spare 10 minutes, this is an interesting wee test to see if you have a male or female brain, you will need a ruler (not for that!).

Apparently, maybe, if your ring finger is longer than your index finger then you have a male brain as this may mean that you were exposed to more testosterone in the womb. Lots of top sports people have very long ring fingers.

I have a 50% more female brain, by the way.

Barcelona

Me and Brian went on holiday for a week to a small place called Cap Salou, just next to Salou. Cap Salou appears to be a favourite holiday resort for over 65's so we went to Barcelona for 4 days as it's only about an hours drive from Cap Salou. We stayed right in the heart of the city, just next to Las Ramblas so there was loads to do, and the beach was 5 minutes away. On our first day in Barcelona, we went down to the beach and seen this filth:

There are plenty of decent places to get a drink in Barca. This mojito definitely deserves a mention. I know it looks like it has spaghetti hoops in it (that's ice) but it looked the part on the night, and most defintely tasted the part. It was zingy.

On our last day, we visited the Sagrada Familia http://www.sagradafamilia.org/, I kind of felt obliged to more than anything else and it was rather boring really but the view from the top is spectacular. It's so high, I felt dizzy.

To recap, don't ever, ever go to Cap Salou and do go to Barcelona.

Bloody Typical

So that's me about to go on holiday for a week to sunny Spain and I woke up this morning absolutely loaded with the cold. Well I say I woke up this morning, I actually woke up several times during the night with drips falling out my wet nose.

I can just tell it's one of those colds that ends up with a really annoying tickly cough that is very annoying to the person with the cough and anyone near them. I should get that just in time for boarding the flight. Yippee.

This is England

Am I the only person in the country who wasn't very impressed with this film? I thought it was all a bit 'I've just graduated with a degree in film-making and here's my first film, it's really gritty'.

I thought 'Dead Man's Shoes' - http://www.godwillforgivethem.com/ was superb and 'A Room for Romeo Brass' - http://www.britfilms.tv/index.php?id=3244 was quite good too but 'This is England' was cliched and obvious and the bit where the wee guy snogs that older girl was just downright wrong.

Just Another Day at the Office

Thank F*** it's Friday!

Amen to that.
