.....Got a vasectomy. Sorry ladies the boys are now closed for business :wink: At least i'm a little less white now than i was when i got home :p

Uncomfortable as heck. Plenty of time to read Simon's write up in the actual magazine and snack on shortbread. Thanks John :D

P.S. Simon the article about your Niva is great but my wife wanted me to ask why you pants are so short LOL

is it any good, is subjective. i thought it was unbelievably incredibly amazingly brilliant. a masterful piece. you might not think the same.

i cant imagine anyone walking away thinking it was bad. the 3D junk was mental. takes a minute to adapt to but all thoughts of gimmicky evaporate quickly.

Crb what happened your eyes? nevermind man, im going deaf! (at 30)

Left one suffered severe physical trauma when i was 10. Almost lost it. now just massive retinal damage and a plastic lens due to a cataract caused by part of the trauma and replaced when i think i was 12. I only really use one eye most of the time.

you can drive no problem? ive read it affects your depth perception

its a love story Gadget. hahaha, - how many of those have we seen? lord.. i thought the 3D was gonna be rubbish too, highly sceptical of it, but, naa, its just amazingly fantastically brilliant. got vertigo twice. a spectacle it is indeed, the details, my god the details. im gonna stop waffling about it now.

go see it while its in screen 1.

I drive for a living :P... Been living with it long enough and the vision is still there so the depth perception while not %100 is still decent unless i get too tired.
