Frozen Planet - A Must Watch

I never thought I would say this, but for all of you who haven't watched Frozen Planet, you should really do.

This was one of the gifts I got Sin for Christmas as he likes to watch wildlife programmes and always when its on TV and there is another programme on like 'Don't Tell the Bride' I always win and he never really gets to see it.

This was mentioned a lot on Twitter when it was first shown and I thought Sin would like it.  He made me watch it with him the other night and I thought this was going to be the longest two hours of TV I would have to sit through.  However as Sin does it for me, I'll do it for him!

I was amazed at the effort put in to make this series.  The camera men risks their lives and a lot of time making this beautiful series.

I've learnt so much and how the animals in the Arctic and Antarctica survive, and its so cruel but its reality I guess.

Some of my favourite scenes in the series......

There were originally 3 baby polar bears, but the third one was born quite small and didn't survive :-(

Charmed, The End of an Era

Sin decided to order the Box Set Charmed last year after seeing a bargain on Play.com.  Although many of you probably know I do watch a lot of American Series ranging from The Vampire Diaries, to Gossip Girl to Hellcats (not Thundercats!), however Charmed was one series I never watched, not really sure why.

So we started watching it late last year, and we were speeding our way through each season.  Season 1, to season 2 and before you knew it we were on season 7, the penultimate season.  Thats when we started to slow down, and started to watch other stuff.  Today finally I was able to put in the last DVD on the box set into the Playstation.

Yeah!  I love endings, sometimes I even fast forward just to see what the ending is like and then go back...I'm not good.

So a bit about what Charmed is about, well its a series that started off in 1998 that lasted for 8 years.  The series follows 4 sisters (although you only get to see 3 at any one time) who are perceived as normal women but are in fact witches and are part of a line of very good witches going back in time.  Their destiny is to protect the innocence against evil which could involve demons.  As you can imagine life is never easy and they not only have to deal with evil they deal with normal day to day activities such as death, love and work.

So what would I give the series, probably a 7, only because sometimes there was such a build up to the episode and then it just cleared up within a few minutes if not seconds, which to me was not good.

So if you are looking for something to watch, let Sin know, I know hes looking to sell his box set now as we've watched it all.

Glee!

What can I say about Glee?  Where do I start? I guess one thing I do want to say is, if you haven't watched it, where have you been?  Glee is probably one of the best shows around at the moment, even Sin watches it and my brother which I think says a lot!  (Ok sometimes I do have to make Sin watch it with me ;-)!)

I even have Glee songs on my iphone! (I do like the One Direction version of this song as well, just to add).

Now these songs are so addictive, although not the usual group of singers you would normally rave about in the charts, these guys can actually sing.  Not only that they do a good dance too!  Who saw the Thriller dance?  Wasn't that good?  If you haven't seen it, you need to!

Even Simon Cowell has been talking about it!

And thanks to Sin, I'm seeing them live in concert!  So excited! I love Finn....(don't tell Sin!)

Who's got the X Factor?

O2 yesterday was bombarded with screaming teenage girls and their mums and then there were 5 of us, 5 twentysome colleagues who probably did not fit into the X Factor fan category!

We started off the evening by enjoying some dinner at las iguanas.  The menu was a laugh or maybe I was thinking in a weird way.

I thought the menu said you could ask for a girlfriend (gf)!  Bobo, a Brazilian Classic....but however after a few seconds I realised it meant gluten free! Silly me!

We even managed to squeeze in time to be silly!

Can you spot us?

So anyway back to the main topic...who in our eyes would have the X Factor tonight? Was Wagner going to impress us for once? What about Katie, would she throw a strop or actually sing?  The line up included Matt, Rebecca, One Direction, Cher, Mary, Wagner, Katie, Aiden and Paige.  ONE DIRECTION!!!!  Cher opened the show and after a few more songs she was on again, with no sign of One Direction!!  Where were they??  Well they definitely left the best to last!  Finally when they got on, they did not disappoint!  They sung Rhianna and Kelly Clarkson, two of their best songs on the show.

Chris and Dom having a good time! 

Rebecca was amazing and stunning while Matt took our breath away! Even the boys were shouting 'I Love Matt Cardle'!

Although after hearing such amazing voices on the night (excl Wagner and Katie!), the real stars who had the real X Factor had to be this bunch........
