Another Two Completed

Over the last week and a half I have managed to complete another two from my list, have to say I am very chuffed with myself for my progress so far - if I keep this up I'll be done by June, however I am aware I'll hit a lull at some point and go a few months without doing any of them. Anyway on to my latest two:

Apply to be on a TV show

The above photo is me posting off the application form for a television show called 'Pointless' - it is on BBC1 Mon-Fri around 5pm so those of you that have a job may not have seen it. Its basically a general knowledge gameshow, which is the opposite of Family Fortunes. On Fortunes they ask 100 people a question and you have to name the most popular answers, on Pointless you have to try and find the most obscure correct answers that the people they asked didn't guess. Its a very good show and alot of fun and of course a chance to win some money and become a celebrity! My mate Rob will be joining me (you apply in pairs), I will update on the progress of the TV show through this blog however for the meantime - I applied so thats that crossed off the list.


Get a Cineworld Unlimited Card

I love the cinema and I love films so was a no brainer. The price to go and see a film now is bloody ridicoulous so even 2 trips to the cinema a month makes this worthwhile and saves you money. Now that I have the card I imagine I will take in a lot more as well. I work away from home at least once a month as well so boring nights in hotels can now be solved by a wee trip to the pictures. Being a nice guy and all that I decided to buy an unlimited card for the missus as well as a present to her, and it means she may feel obliged to pick up the cinema snacks on our visits.

Only slight downside is that our nearest Cineworld is in Middlesbrough which isn't very far, but it would have been nice to have somewhere within walking distance. Our local cinema in Darlington is an Odeon which wouldn't look out of place in Chernobyl. When I was last there I made a promise never to go back. Horrible place.

Apparantly our Cineworld cards will arrive in 10 days time so in the mean time they have emailed us temporary passes to use. Rather than my ugly mug as proof, below is a photo of Jo's temporary cineworld pass (card details and full name edited out in paint for obvious reasons) Thats another thing crossed off the list. Until next time......
