They don't like it up em you know

Dad's army resurrected for the big screen. Going to see it at the Broadway cinema in Letchworth tonight and not without a little trepidation. Two reasons, it was a classic and there is a risk that it doesn't do the original justice and secondly, sitcoms usually struggle on the big screen and I don't see why this should be any more successful than those that have tried before and failed, including the original Dad';s Army. Oh well, as they say 'the good thing about being a pessimist is that you are seldom disappointed'.

Crap and I mean crap night at badminton last night. It's not unusual for one or two people to have an off night but last night I think we all had an off night and that does not result in a fun evening. Tim and I are playing singles next week. That should at least be livelier although I suspect I know how it will go. He will win the earlier games because he is a better player technically and I will win the later games because - well because I can run around for an hour without flagging. Big question is where the shift happens. If it's before 30 minutes, the night is mine, after and the glory is Tim's.
