Oh, Christ

Emily's been overly kind and gone and bought a Robin Hood DVD that my nephew's been nattering for since we last took him to the Tales of Robin Hood museum (which is no longer about because of the recession) in 2004. My brother and I have often bought other DVDs that interested him, but avoided that one because we'd rather not suffer nightmares involving anthropomorphic foxes after hours a day being subjected to such things.

This doesn't sound as bad as it is. Believe me, it'll be on all day every day, I know that, so me and my brother are pretty sad. My nephew is over the moon, however, which is nice for him, and I'm glad he's happy, but he doesn't realise how much we loathe the films he's played over and over. Best thing to do's to put up with it and think of England. With some luck, beneath the fluffy (and judging by the Amazon reviews, shoddy) exterior, there may be something complex and something that needs a bit of thought, but knowing animated anthropomorphic animals, there isn't.

In other news, the cat that I scalded died as a result of it's injuries.
I wonder how many people are going to believe that? The result of saying such a thing should be funny.

The wife is a lie and you're the anti-Havoc. "Scolded"? More like "scalded." I read your disclaimer too, so don't give me some snooty "YOU DIDN'T READ THE NOTE AT THE BOTTOM HAHA."

Props on lying back and thinking of England.

And Disney's Robin Hood is one of their absolute best in my opinion, it gave me nightmares as a youngun.

I don't buy anything for Abbey that I don't think there is artistic value to. It makes sharing things with her a great deal more enjoyable.

Best thing to do, really. It's a shame that not everyone thinks like that.

At least WoF's given me some hope that it may not be as bad as I anticipate.

you had me laughing about the cat.

and i couldn't get into it when i was forced to bloody watch it as a child. i'm sure your nephew will remember stuff like this when he is older and respect you for it. might even get a drink out of it.

Best Robin Hood was the one with Kevin Costner.

That was actually a very, very bad movie.

It was bad, but not as bad as the fairly recent television series.

Maybe you should buy other versions of Robin Hood, to give him some variety. I suggest Maid Marian and Her Merry Men. It was created by and stars Tony Robinson, so it cannot be anything but brilliant.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Tony Robinson will be sure to entertain him, he loves Blackadder. You may have saved us from seeing the animated film ten times within a week. Thank you.

Every time I see the name of this thread, I think of a guy I did a C++ assignment once who was named 'Olaf Christ'.



I have nothing more to say.

Have you become your nephew's legal guardian by some court order? He seems to have wormed his way into the gravitational core of your life, at least as you reveal it to us.

I live in a semi-detached. My brother is on the other side. We practically live together, and to be honest, it isn't a problem. In fact, we spend most of our time together in one or the other's house.
