FILM - UNSTOPPABLE

Just been to see the preview of this film tonight, which I would rate as a good watch, on a rainy blustery night.

The film is essentially about a runaway train. and stars Denzel Washington, and Chris Pine. 
The subject matter doesn't sound particularly enthralling but it kept us on the edge of our seat for around 90 minutes.
Lots of action from the beginning but eventually has a satisfactory outcome.The likelihood of various towns and cities being wiped out is always present, as the freight train hurtles along minus its driver at speeds in excess of 70 mph.
The trains cargo consists of particularly nasty chemicals and petrol, which guarantee an unpleasant outcome if the train cannot be stopped..
Go and see it. It's probably more of a film for the lads, but my other half said she enjoyed it...probably due to seeing Chris Pine's six pack torso at the start of the film!

HM Customs & Excise - Preventive Officer Cap

This style of cap bearing the Queens Crown essentially stayed the same until the demise of HMC&E, when many staff transferred over to the newly formed United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA), and those that remained were merged with HM Inland Revenue to form HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC)


Keeping watching this page as I intend to add more pictures of caps!

Hectic Day

Just got to the end of a hectic day looking after my 2 x 5 year olds G/c.

Due to unavoidable circumstances when G/c #3 was taken into hospital last night with breathing difficulties, and suspected Chicken Pox (CP), I got the job of amusing the twins.

It seems that a certain type of CP can cause chest infections as well as the usual spots. Anyway he and his Mum were discharged today, since the hospital didn't want them around with the possibility of spreading C/P to other kids.

So, back to today...

0905 - twins dropped off at our house by their Dad

0905 - 1100 - playing board game and a spelling game

1100 - 1300 - off to an old quarry (now a visitor centre) for games on the grass (hide the dinosaur), and a walk

1300 - 1500 - visited an old tramway museum, where we walked (in the rain at times) and had rides on an old Leeds Tram from the 1930's

1500 - 1600 - drove back home via the shop to buy food

1600 - 1630 - cooked dinner for the twins (plently of protein, fruit and milk)

1630 - my wife came home early from work. 

She said she could tell I was exhausted when she spoke to me on the 'phone. She took over and watched a video with the twins (Wall-E)

1830 - twins went home to see Mum and Dad

1900 - me feeling rung out + headache

Never mind

All good fun and what Grandparents do...eh?
