Boxing Day

Nice quiet one, Mum was shattered from driving yesterday so just head down and working all day, cakes in the morning then 6- 10 at the pub, david had the kids up at his grandparents for the day, and hannah was out.

So home alone, so read more of Chris ryan, like a geek but i find it really interesting as he goes into loads of detail on certain things with facts i never knew before, like one of the bits i was reading at my grandparents, his helicopter had a seagul go into the engine, cut it out and the whole thing went down like a stone into the freezing water, its completly flooded and is now sinking, heres the extract i found awesome:

"I could sense the darkness closing in on me, a sign my brain was suffering from acute oxygen deprivation. Without Fresh oxygen in the blood the heart begins to beat erratically and finally shuts down. Blood pools in the brain - but you arent dead yet. The brain can hold out a long time while on residual oxygen. People have actually been pulled out from under ice fifty minutes after there hearts have shut down, and been revived without brain damage, the colder the water, the longer you can live. "

Facts like that. Awesome, That and i generally find anything medical pretty interesting but i got to the most recent episode of house a while ago :/ so chris ryan will have to do.

after doing this for a bit, i got out We Were Soldiers, with mel gibson in it, another present with a pint of fosters and had a rather manly afternoon. The begining does drag out for a while but i forgot just how brutal some of the scenes are, the worst is its one where a napalm bomb comes in to close and gets some of the american soldiers, they go to pick him up to the choper by his legs and the burnt skin comes clean off in the guys hands, ERGH but its still one of the all time best films. heres a clip, if you've never seen it and like things like saving private ryan, pearl harbour, etc its worth a watch,



This has taken me a while to post all of these, so im heading off to relax before its back to work tomorrow and the gym, So Laters xo
