Things Done

Went up on Dartmoor to watch our local stage of the Tour of Britain.  It was exciting, although I have to confess my grasp of what was going on was a bit shaky.  Fortunately philmophlegm was packed with relevant knowledge.

"Seem to have accidentally agreed to become vice-chair of Oldies Club. Drat."

This is why you should always attend the AGM, so that people do not vote you into office in absentia...

:-D

I was there - well, for a given value of 'there' which means 'present in the voicemail conference'. But we had a problem where nobody wanted to be chair, and then someone said they would be chair if they had a vice-chair, and... *rollseyes*

Am foolish.

Ha, I am glad I am not the only one who find Tristan and Isolde irritating in general. And if it's the version I'm thinking of, Mark was definitely more interesting, although it's been a while and I don't recall the Irish maid.

It was the 2006 movie version with Sophia Myles and some pouting moody-looking bloke. T & I are irritating at best, but in this particular version they made Mark so all round jolly *nice* that T & I's behaviour seemed incomprehensibly selfish and brutal.

This is the Irish maid, she spends most of the movie making this face at Tristran & Isolde :-D

I remember this film, and recall liking the music and scenery. As for the characters, the only thing I remember is that I despised Tristan because he was an inconsistent jerk. First he was all: "You need to marry this other guy because it's honorable and blah blah," and then he was all sneering at her and saying something like "do you like seeing me suffer?!" when it was his bloody idea in the first place. Useless character.

Oh, he totally was. MAKE UP YOUR MIND, POUTY TRISTRAN!
