Another Fab Weekend

Geek Night (must finish that web site) was great on Friday. JTA and Ruth were away in Shropshire, and so I thought I might stand some chance at Settlers Of Catan (now with the Cities & Knights Of Catan add-on. But Jimmy came, and – despite it being his first ever game of Settlers – did wonderfully well; and I just beat him.

Troma Night was a classic: our 1950-themed night was a great success, with the vast majority of people dressed-up in their best middle-of-the-century garb. We watched the (brilliant) Harvey (still one of my favourite films), Sunset Boulevard (okayish; nice and dark at times), and about a billion little newsreels, adverts, public information films, and cartoons… all from 1950. Great work, Paul for putting together such a fantastic programme.

And yesterday, Sunday, we played Careers and watched Knightmare (remember that show?) and Jam and ate Sunday lunch at the Angel (which was okay-to-good this week) and I kicked arse in my ongoing game of Civilization III: Conquests at Regent difficulty… all-in-all, a nice break from the work-weeks either side.
