Nope, underrated. I need the opportunity to escape this place at least once a year for a couple of weeks otherwise somebody would get seriously hurt.....

Sorry to hear about the boy. So why exactly does hubby think you want sex 24/7? Just curious. I was supposed to be flying to Nairobi to join my girls for a holiday but they are returning early instead, which suits me fine. Will go and watch Batman at the new DFC cinema this evening.

If you can view Batman on an IMAX screen you should do so.....Went with my two boys on Saturday to IBN Battuta mall and it was simply awesome...Enjoy !

Short and simple? Better resolution and larger screen.

The "dirty" stuff is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAX

Look like only 30 mins of the film where actually shot to accomadate IMAX though, the rest is just a basterdised standard film that can also play on the projectors.

If its a Mac you're probably using the Safari web browser. So go to the top of the computer screen, click on the "History" button and then the "Clear history" label at the bottom of the drop down menu

Hope you're not being pestered by the hawkers selling everything under the sun.
