Blockbuster UK is nothing like it use to be.

I remember on a Sunday afternoon shuffling in with me brother, sister and Dad trying to secure the latest release (Ghostbusters, Gremlins or something)

It has evolved in time, going in now you can buy and rent all games for all consoles, buy the consoles and accessories and buy or rent dvd, blue ray and the like. Buy food, drink, posters everything.. Cyber Geek Heaven!

Long Live Blockbuster -

Your right though it's probably not far from the top of the hit list - Our local blockbuster is always a hive of activity though so finger crossed.

Last blockbuster purchase - Multi-terminal in car 3dsi charger about a month ago.

Could of gone to Tesco but decided to be a rebel!
Fight the power people come on!

Well this morning we have a foot of snow in Derbyshire and it's still snowing!

Easter holidays - kids are loving it - I have some driving appointments today, just going out to the main roads now to see how its clearing up with main road traffic as it always seems worse for us in our little clu-de-sac

We are all learning piano and the red dots are the key notes on labels - part cheating part essential to learning a sheet of music without losing my mind - number one Son goes walking round the house going "CC CD C CD CCD" to the sound of Star Wars Imperial March. it's a funny thing -

In the video i'm playing mostly from memory, it would be better to be able to play from the sheet while reading the music, I can do that but I play like someone talking with a stutter, this way I get to enjoy playing the music (to a fashion) and not get too caught up in the detail - a bit like home cooking V's restaurant cuisine my piano playing is like home cooking, for me anyway.. Lucky for us the neighbour wears two hearing aids..

Here is a link to me playing some of my favourite movie soundtracks (that are easy to play) Keyboard - Portable Grand - Paul Green - YouTube The list goes like this: The Snowman (The Snowman), To a Wild Rose(Edward McDowell), Eternal Vow (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Truman Sleeps (The Truman Show), Miami Vice (Crockets Theme) Glasgow Love Theme (Love Actually), La Petite Fille De La Mer (Stranger Than Fiction), Biltiz. (Biltiz) -
To that i'd add Blade Runner (amazing soundtrack from Vangelis) The Matrix Trilogy and why not throw in Inception just for fun..

I did think this was April Fools when I read this yesterday.. however, it seems like I was the fool Its snow joke! Summer ends and winter arrives - in spring - AOL Travel UK

That does not sound ^stupid^ at all, in fact one of the main reasons people often resist stopping the habit is because they have a fear that they will change, or not be there usual effervescent self.. (as I'm sure Ray appreciates with his roller coaster of a time)

*quite often other people do not want the ^smoker^ to stop either as it may then highlight their weaknesses

**Weaknesses do not exist, only choices, but many clients often refer to weakness as being how they may be looked upon if they cannot also ^change^ smoking, weight loss, nail biting, cussing etc so they can often fan the flames in an attempt to sabotage the efforts of a partner or loved one - (You'd be amazed at some of the stories I could tell you)

The reality is you can only make the decision yourself and for yourself, some people tough it out and 'find a way' to not do whatever it is, sometimes this works sometimes it does not.

For anyone wanting to stop smoking I'd really consider hiring a reputable licensed stop smoking specialist (not just a hypnotist) Hypnosis still has the highest rate of success when it comes to stopping smoking but more importantly the extra training and experience of smoking and all of it's habits, rituals and effects can really make the transition concrete - without having to replace the reactive response with something else (Like chewing gum - you know who you are!) along with and other secondary challenges or tasks that may occur from time to time - "This can be as easy as breathing in and out" - Paul Green Are you listening to me!? - YouTube

When will it be chewing gum?

Same as hdm I had a crack on this yesterday too.. I was nearly sick, then went.. cool!
