    I've been volunteering with an animal recue charity whilst on the bench.

    The home visit part is me vetting potential adoptees of cats

    Hopefully I'll be off the bench as of this week, have had a couple of interviews that went well.

    In so much as recent vampire movies are generally a bit rubbish - just another excuse for some action sequences - I actually quite like the Underworld series. But not enough to go to the cinema - another one on the lovefilm list.

    Hmm, not sure I'm convinced.

    Although naming them Jobbies would have been funny.

    Keanu Reeves spoils The Matrix for me and I think it's overrated. It's also hard to have any respect for a sci-fi film where the enemy ships are called "Squiddies". WTF is that all about?

    It's right up there with "King Willy" from Predator 2 for inappropriate character names...

    Actually, sounds like a good evening next time the wife's out...

    Not forgetting the tight PVC/Leather outfit she wore!!!!

    That costume should have got top billing.

    Interestingly enough though, during the film preview section, they had a preview for this....
