Well I have now returned to the land of the giant shiny silver rooster. I wish to now educate you as to the fact that my use of 'cock' was perfectly accurate. I have been getting some stick from numerous people about my overuse of innuendo (which I agree with but that's neither here nor there). Cock and rooster are synonymous, just coming from different sides of the Atlantic. A cocerel, however, is a young cock/rooster. A castrated cock is a capon.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooster
Now, I hope we're all feeling educated.
I am currently sitting at work surrounded by children dressed as cowboys and indians running amok. No I don't work in a nursey or primary school (It's half term!) I work in a theatre. It's the Singing Kettle returned again, and as always they get the kids to dress up. At least with the farm themed one they weren't turning up with toy guns so they could pretend to shoot each other. It's slowly escalating into a re-enactment of the Battle of Little Bighorn.
I was going to try and ignore them... but there's no need now, they've left! Now it's just empty floor between me and the lifesize cut out of Captain Jack Sparrow. This, as I understand it, is a thought that would make most women, and special men, go weak at the knees. I can't say that I agree. Yes, Jack Sparrow is a very exciting man, but I feel no desire to be made his cabin boy whatsoever. Johnny Depp just doesn't put the wind in my sails. I'm sure by saying that the internet is about to explode from the 3 billion women in the world rushing to correct me. The women of Mole Valley are already fighting over the Captain Jack standee, asking if we'll sell him to them and then trying to gazump one another with prices. I'm sorry ladies, it's a cardboard representation of a fictitious character... even if you do take him home he's not exactly going to be able to shiver your timbers.
The film however, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End', is defintely fantastic. I think it is fairly easily the best of the three. Disney have definitely come a long way for a movie franchise built around a theme park ride! Though it is a very enjoyable ride ... much better than 'It's a Small World'. It should be banned. I swear it must be worse than a LSD induced trip...
Damn my sister for making us ride the thing twice. Though it probably goes part way to explaining how odd I am today.
