My Italian Travels with Spiderman 3 and Umberto!

Just a quick post today, went to Elgin this morning to try and book a holiday to Italy, of course the Travel Agents were mostly closed because of the May Day holiday. That idea having collapsed like a house of cards, we headed for Inverness to watch Spiderman 3, stopping off first at my favourite bookshop "Borders", where I purchased Umberto Eco's "The Name Of the Rose" and "Foucault's Pendulum". Should have bought The Name Of the Rose long ago seeing the film's in my all-time top 3, anyway here's hoping the book is even better. I've often stated in the past that there isn't a film that's been made, which is better than the book it's based on! Although, Gary from College would always mention The Godfather at this point (apparently the book wasn't too hot).

Well, Spiderman 3 was Ok, slow in places, but making up for it with an all-out tag-team finale of Spidey and Harry Versus Venom and the Sandman! Is it better than the first two? probably on a par I'd say!

First exam (Artificial Intelligence) is a week today, gotta get some revision in, but in the mean-time check out the video clip from Big Train, make sure and listen to the commentary. UK sports fans will definitely ROFL to this one, but it should appeal to anyone.
