Meg and Kath raved about this movie so when I saw that
Ross had it on the hard drive I decided to watch it with
Cliff.
Given the fact that you are accepting that a stuffed bear
can not not talk but walk and think and in fact act like
a human I think they were stretching the envelop with
some of Ted's behaviour and the interaction with humans
when Ted was '27' years old.
I'm talking about a boss who hires a talking toy that
insults him and gives that toy a promotion everytime the
toy does something sexually inappropriate, which in real
live would have him fired and being hit with sexually
harassement lawsuits.
The majority of the film is set in 2012 so how can the 'fat'
kid Robbie lose weight and grow up to be Tyler Lauder who is
already an 'adult' in 2012 and been in the Breaking Dawn movie?
So the movie goes from the mildly amusing and grossly offensive
to ridiculous.

Quiz Games (Part 2)
It turns out that these are very popular. They
are usually downloaded to IPhones and the answers
are on the internet, but they are not the scratch
off one I was doing or the other one but the
answers do help with mine.
However I do have a few bones to pick with whoever
does the scratch off quiz. Firstly in the movie
section a scene is shown with Homer walking a pig
on the ceiling this was from the film "The Simpson
Movie" but according to the quiz this WAS NOT the
CORRECT answer. I checked the USA version to see
if it was called something else there but no it
was "The Simpson Movie in 3D" so I tried that but
NO that was not correct either so we used the three
clues only to fine that the answer wanted was "The
Simspons". I'm sorry but that answer is WRONG!!!
That is the name of the T.V. show and NOT the MOVie.
Then in the Characters section there was a picture
of Charlie Chaplin as the Little Tramp. So I put
in "The Little Tramp" nupe WRONG! so then I put in
"Little Tramp" nope! so then "The Tramp" nope finally
just "Tramp" nope used the three clues and the answer
wanted was Charlie Chaplin!!! Sorry you were wrong
again! Charlie Chaplin is the REAL NAME of the actor
NOT the character!!!
Lastly in the landmark section there was a picture
of the Brandenberg Gate, but that was the WRONG answer
the answer they wanted was Bradbergen Tor (which is the
German for the Gate) yet all the other answers were in
English so why have this one answer in another language!
The quiz should be consistent! Also they showed a
picture of a modern building in London I put in the
correct name but that was the wrong answer, the answer
they wanted was the 'nickname' "The Gerkin". NOt
consistent at all!!

"Zoo" by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge
This was a pleasent departure fron his usual genre.
I had to say up till 4.30 a.m. to finish reading it.
It was that kind of book, but I did find one inconsistency.
The story is mainly told by the 'hero' Jackson OZ. We
assume it is being told in 2012, though as Jackson says
it really started two years before when he noticed something
'strange' 'odd' that he could not let go of and has been
developing ever since.
On page 142-143 he says-"Charles Groth...one of the world's
leading gorilla experts...THREE years ago was suddenly
attacked by a 400 pound gorilla..the ape broke all the
bones in his face, tore away his nose, lips, one of his ears,
eyes, hands and right leg from the knee down." Thus we can
conclude this event took place in 2009.
On page 201 Chapter 50 begins with the words FIVE YEARS LATER.
On page 217 Dr. Goth is cooking and we are told "The male
gorilla who had attacked him in his primatology lab at
Johns Hopkins THREE YEARS AGO took his left hand as well as
his nose, his lips, his right eye, left ear, and his right
leg from the knee down."
So in 'reality' if the story started in 2012 and it is 5
years later it is then 2017 and the accident with the ape
happened in 2009 that makes it EIGHT years ago and NOT THREE.
Just a small error. Most people would not even notice.

Quiz Games. (PART 1)
I have been going around to Karen's as she has helped
with with the programs on the tablet.
Still can't get Angry Birds to work.
As for "Doors" I think that there must be a fault in my
game as on floor 39 I am suppose to shake balls that fall
from a tube into 3 other tubes. It took about 20 to
finally get ONE in the first tube, 100 balls later I still
had not got ONE in the second tube.
They seem to be falling between the tube and the wall.
Karen's does not do this THEY NEVER FALL BETWEEN THE TUBE
AND THE WALL!!
Gave up in frustration.
Can't go on with with this game as yu need to complete each
floor to reach the NEXT one!
