You really can’t beat a good 50s/60s “Swords and Sandals” epic, can you? Everything’s brightly coloured, the enemies are evil beyond belief, the heroes are manly beardy and the girlies swoon and flutter like swoony-fluttery things! And then there’s the awesome Harryhausen creations – in Jason we have a giant bronze statue, harpies, a hydra,

Oh yes! I am off on my hols until a week on Monday! Splendid! Not going anywhere specific, but I want to at least get to Blair Drummond Safari Park in Stirling (cos Stirling is ACE and the safari park has munkys), as well as some day trips out and about. Linlithgow, natch. Also Beecraigs

So I got a new phone, courtesy of my employer. They want to be able to contact me at all hours of the day and night and I need to be able to spring into action like a bagful of kangaroos and fix whatever it is they’ve broken in my absence. So, requirements are: pda
