Angelina Jolie for Catwoman?????? I shall have to hold my husband down. She might JUST have the edge over Michelle Pfeiffer whose place in his heart as best Catwoman ever has never been threatened till now...

Have a good break Rob. Going anywhere nice?

No, no, no. Unacceptable. Julie Newmar is the queen of Catwomen.

"Have a good break Rob. Going anywhere nice?"

Cheers! I'm off to Crete!

Well anyone's got to be better then Halle Berry!

I think it was the whip that did it.

Have fun in Crete. But if you're going to visit the Sumerian Gorge go for a proper daytrip. We decided to do it by car, from the other end of the island. Result we drove all day and ended up with 20 mins in the gorge...

Who'd have thought it? The TV companies think more ads will enhance the view experience. I bet British Gas think paying 35% more for gas will enhance our heating experience too.
