Return to Zihuatenejo: Shawshank 2

Lottie has tagged me with the movie of your life meme. I think I saw people doing this ages ago but I never partook. Well consider that fixed.

The Rules!
1. List the people who would play you, and the people in your life.
2. Give credit to the person who tagged you. That’d be Lottie mentioned above.
3. Link your answers to the original blog, that’s http://www.iRamble.co.uk
4. Tag four new people to participate.

To play me:

Despite what the ladies seem to think from the burlesque shenanigans, I wouldn’t pick any of the Bond actors. Well, maybe Daniel Craig. I’d be thinking more along the lines of Michael J Fox, Zach Braff, John Cusack or Topher Grace. Actually James McEvoy would probably be bang on. Always had a lot of respect for that guy, he seems decent and hard-working.

Family:
For my brother I’d probably pick a young Ewan Mc Gregor or someone like that. Ethan Hawke would be a good fit as well. For my mum it’d be someone like Meryll Streep. Strong, considered and loving. Hmmm. Tom Hanks for my da although he looks like John Cleese.

Friends:
I’ll go all out on this one and choose a good few friends I’ve left out a couple cos I can’t figure out ones for them. :)

Marshall Matters would be apt for Dave since he used to look like him plus he can sorta act. Jake Gyllenhaal for Mark. Darren’s pick of Ryan Phillippe for himself would probably be near on. Mr Doyle is a difficult one to pick but I’d go for Robin Williams or Gene Wilder. Lottie’s self pick of Nicole Kidman I’d agree with. She seems to have that cheeky character. Jim Carey for DarDar cos he’s kooky.

Like RP my movie would need a montage where my character goes through some type of bootcamp. A trip to Vegas would also be involved (ala Swingers) and whatever else the director saw fit to include.

A lot of the people I know have already been tagged but I’ll tag three:

DarDar
ellybabes
Ben

These guys have done it already: Darren, Lottie, RP.

Friday Photo – Poker

Learning poker in Darren's place

Today marks the four week mark until our US holiday. We’ve decided to try and familiarise ourselves with poker having never played before. Beginners luok served me well as the photo shows. :)

Suantum of Quolace

This should be the official song:

I would like to offer this song to the makers of the new James Bond movie ‘The Quantum of Solace’, entirely free, for use over the opening credits of their forthcoming movie. Yours sincerely, Joe Cornish.

The Ronaldo saga

To be honest, I’m sick of all this crap about Ronaldo. He’s made it clear that he’s not committed to United by the way he’s behaved over teh summer. He signed a contract to 2012 yet he has fostered an atmosphere of discontentment. What annoys me even more is Ferguson’s quote from this BBC story:

The fans have got to understand; it’s very difficult when a young boy is tempted by all this money.

What the hell is that?! The guy earns tens of tens of thousands a week if not hundreds of thousands at United. That’s not even considering merchandising deals. He can throw money into a fire for the rest of his life and he’ll still be able to afford Ferraris by the dozen. Ronaldo doesn’t know when he has it made. He was the top scorer last season and a major factor in the double trophy win. I’m sick of his selfishness though. His heart isn’t in the club and I doubt it ever will be. We should have cashed in and took an offer from Real Madrid. :evil:
