This weekend saw a bit of a Movie Marathon taking place. Not in the Bridget Jones, lock yourself away from all humanity and drink wine but just at the end of the weekend I just looked back and was like ’shit I’ve watched a lot of shit’. Speaking of shit, one of the bottom barrell one’s i managed to dig out was PS. I Love You. It had been a long time coming having dodged the bullet from Mrs Ben to watch it. Of course she had read the Cecilia Ahern book the film is based on, but alas according to a very annoyed Mrs Ben it doesn’t really follow the book enough and this takes away from the whole vibe, apparantly!
The film is about a young widower (Holly Kennedy played by Hillary Swank) who is trying to come to terms with her husbands (Gerry Kennedy played by Gerard Butler) passing after suffering a brain tumor. Before passing on he wrote a series of letters that over the course of the year get delivered to Holly. These letters are to help her move on and get over his death.
I’m gonna put it out there and say that this wasn’t a bad film in theory, there are parts that are quite touching BUT what makes it completely and utterly unbelievable/stupid and what took the whole goodness of the film away was the complete paddy whackary going on throughout the 126 minutes (which doesn’t fly by as quick as one would hope!). It reeked of ‘top o the mornin’ to ya’ and wasn’t short of producing the wee leprachaun with hit ‘pot a gold’.
It features a part where Holly travels to Ireland (AAYERLAND) and the only genuinely believable bit is when you meet Gerry’s Parents and they are Irish people, Irish actors and their accents aren’t the dogs dinner.
An enjoyable flick of sorts, too many plot turns and twists and characters who aren’t needed to make this film what it is. Watch it and ask yourself ‘Why is Harry Connick Jnr. in this film AT ALL!?’. A DVD rental at a push becuase your other half wants it, no more, no less. Leave your brain at the door. . .
Ever thought of arranging your common garden type barbie doll into a Road Traffic Accident gore scene? How about a swingers party gone wrong? With blood splatter a plenty this is a silly crazy fresh idea and i like it. What that says about me. . . Eh pay him a visit and enjoy . . I would say NSFW but that depends on where you work . . your call . .
This guy officially has far too much time on his hands.
This will save many a man eye strain when relaxing poolside on the next holiday. No more more squinting at bikini clad babes whilst pretending to read the book you bought in the airport.

This is very similar to Rick’s Post Secret but some of them are a good read! One of my fave’s
When I was 5 or so my mom would tell me to lie down before she tied my tie and I just now realized at the age of 19 that she did this because she’s a funeral director.
Very few things excite me these days but i have to say I was looking for this a couple years ago. Wouldn’t it be worthwhile, in a day and age where a lot of the prepay phone services such as Vodafone / Meteor and O2 offer free texts and calls between their own networks, that by simply clicking a button on your phone you could make a call through your preferred network. It seems like effort i know but even if you were to have two sims in your phone and top each of them up by 20 euro (the amount you would usually have to minimum top up) you would have free calls / texts to everyone on those networks.What about your friends on another network?
Lets face it, if your miserable and sad enough to use this you won’t have many friends i would imagine . . .
Because sometimes once a week just isn’t enough huh! Bonus hairy linkage! Where as my friday links I try to link to Blogs that i think are worthy of a mention, i do find a fair few links that are worthy of note so here is where they will lye once I compile the list! VOILA!
Safety tat is a waste of time that just feeds on people’s fear of getting their child kidnapped in a Madeline McCann scenario.
SafetyTat is a fun and colorful kids temporary safety tattoo that’s uniquely personalized with your cell phone number. When applied to the arm of your child or loved one, SafetyTat provides an immediate, highly visible form of identification that stays in place even when wet and lasts for days.
I received a phone call from my son’s school camp this morning. “Mrs. H, I was just about to serve your son lunch and I see a tattoo on his arm that says he’s allergic to nuts.” This was shocking to me, as I had explained, in person, in notes and phone calls prior to this trip that my son is severly allertic to nuts and must only have the food I pack for him.
I have to say i’d be more worried about the shithole camp you sent your son to that they don’t listen to you basic ‘keep my son alive’ request! Nothing like good ol fear to earn your yankee dollar on. Gone is the day you would get lost in a crowd, shit yourself and cry for hours. Now it’s ok that someone will come to your aid and oogle yer arm for your slightly hot soccer mom’s mobile number. FTW
Through a flyer that Dell sent. It’s ex-vat and delivery but it seems fairly decent for a laptop. Gone is the day when i paid 1100 euros for my HP Pavillion!

Hairyfish is a compilation of the worst and best on the web. It is sometimes personal, sometimes funny, but never late.
