    Greenie, when we were away OH bought a cook book called 'Wookie Cookies', he's looking forward to making 'Hoth Chocolate' and 'Han-burgers'! :D He also bought this t-shirt which makes him giggle everytime he sees it! Our flat is subtley geeky, you're never far away from Star Wars or Harry Potter (both of which have dedicated shelf space!) and we've got a tiny Optimus Prime and Bumblebee watching over our kitchen!

    I now need to come and visit cause that is AWESOME.

    I have a confession to make though...I didnt hate the prequil trilogy...although I did have Jar Jar on a Dart(h) Board.

    Will you still want to visit when I admit we've got the USS Enterprise and a blaster (which can be set to stun or kill) from Star Trek on top of the wardrobe?! With Barbie next to it! And the rugby head!!! :D It's like a battle for who's got the lamest stuff! :o I really need to get some photos to share just how lame we are! :p I'm constantly fighting OH about displaying his Star Trek Captains plate collection... that's going a step too far! :eek:

    OH likes the prequels too NIM, don't feel too much shame, and he's watched all of the Clone Wars... I'm not mad on the new stuff TBH, although we did watch all 6 movies in a weekend when I bought them for OH on Blu Ray, I'd lost the will to live by the end!

    Oooh and Greenie and NIM, you guys have to go to Disney's Hollywood Studios and go on the Star Tours ride... in the shop you can build your own Lightsabre!!

    When you say blaster are you referring to the weapons used in Star Wars as per Han (who bloody well shot first Lucas you sadistic monster) Solo or Phaser as in Set phaser to AWESOME?

    Birdie, I will not be out-geeked TRUST me.

    D'oh I meant phaser! Too much junk gets me confused, I'm always mixing the two 'Star' things up and getting OH all confused and cross because I have no idea what I'm talking about! :o

    sounds like a fab weekend archers.

    Our weekend plans are dependent on baby! There's a fireworks display in the castle tomorrow night so we will be taking DD to that if he doesn't show himself by tomorrow. Apart from that not got much planned.
