Coogan v Llewellyn-Bowen

Saw Around The World In 80 Days on Friday. It's very obviously a kids film but Steve Coogan put in a magnificent performance, even if he did look and act like Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen.

To nick a line off the great Daniel Kitson - it had everything you need in a film, comedy, monks and kung-fu. But without the monks.

There was a very scary appearance by the Governer of California. As if the recent allegations about his wandering hands was just a bunch of silly women overreacting, Arnie played a super-greasy lecherous, misogenistic, Atomic Kitten-orange, strange-wigged perv in the film.

Why? (Arnie, if you are reading, an explanation please.)

On Saturday, the Other Half and I decided we were going to Newham City Farm on our way to Chav Town aka Beckton 'shopping village'.

Despite it smelling of animal piss, it was quite cute. There were peacocks, sheep, rams, goats and pigs. There was also a Kookaburra laughing its head off and lots of hens and ducks.
