Why does it have to be sad!!!!!!

Last night I sat watching bits of a film called "Marley & Me" it is about a couple who have a labrador and as anyone who has had a lab knows they can be real handful. It was SO funny I really laughed I was definitely going to buy this DVD so that I could watch it over again. Later in the evening I turned on the TV for the news and caught the end of the film...................the dog dies!!!!!!!!
So that's that, I shall definitely not be buying the DVD now, enough sad things going on all the time I just wanted to be entertained.

You dont get entertainment these days, where everyone lives happily ever after.

Its either total reality or total fantasy.

 

In Gardeners Corner Land, Marley & Me just end up having lunch together & practicing Archery with Armandii as a moving target, so not all bad endings, except for Armandii if he don't duck quick enough.

 

Don't buy Terms of Endearment then!

 

The Bucket List will give you a few ideas to make the latter years a bit more interesting - It'll take a few quid to do it as well as Jack Nicholson though!

 

I bet you struggle to get the rubber ended arrows off that armour though Armandii.

 

Digression alert

I've fired a real long bow once. When I was 16 the youth training scheme I was on sent us on a week's 'outward bound team building' course.

Imagine a load of 16 year old lads standing in a field not taking the safety briefing seriously and sniggering at the idea of firing this primitive weapon where the arrow will be lucky to get anywhere near the target, let alone smash a massive great hole in it.

Imagine also how quickly my opinion changed when I let go of that string, and the recoil nearly knocked me off my feet and the buzz was so loud it sounding like a bee had mistaken my left lug hole for a flower, and the arrow was just gone. It didn't travel from the bow through the air to stack of straw bales 50 yards away. In the same instant it stopped being in the bow, and started being many yards away embedded deeply in the target and the bales of straw behind said target. I decided right then and there that I'd never mock a primitive weapon again.

 

but I see your point, Val. Tired myself of sad and scary movies. I like to end my day with some light hearted fun, or a nice love story.

 

She is an absolute scream, SO funny!!!!!

Have a look at Cheech and Chong films if you want something that doesn't follow the standard formula, and is a good laugh.
