Woman in Black

I was expecting Daniel Radcliffe to whip out his wand when things got intense! he's not the best of actors in my opinion, I kept thinking 'Harry Potters too young to have a son'.  Apart from trying to keep Harry Potter out of your head it is actually a really good film! I was jumping out of my seat every five minutes. It's one of those films where it's really obvious when something's going to jump out but you scream anyway, along with the rest of the cinema!

I liked it because it wasn't like a typical horror movie, there was nothing cheesy and it felt very real. I can imagine it being really good in the theatre too! I think the fact that the main plot was about children dying made it scarier, things like that really freak me out, and I thought I could see the woman in black in every corner for days!

I would definitely reccomend this film, if you like a good scare and Harry Potter of course!

Olly Murs!!

He's such a cheeky chappy!

I went to see Olly Murs at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham with my friend last week. It was very last minute, one of my friends wasn't well so I got her ticket for free! I really enjoyed it although I felt like we were waiting for Olly to come on forever. There was a support act before hand that seemed to go on far too long, they were good but were a totally different style to the music Olly does so didn't really fit in. I only got to see him for about an hour because we had to get the last train back to Lincoln, very annoying!

He hasn't released that many songs at the moment so he did some really good covers, like Aloe Blac - I need a dollar, he put his own spin on it and it was really good! he also did a lot of stuff from his new album which looks promising! he walked around the arena floor and the crowd went mental, it looked extremely stressful for the security with all the screaming girls trampling on eachother to get closer to him!

I would definitely go and see him again, and actually stay for the full show this time!

Valentines Day

* it's commercial                                                             
* a way for businesses to make mone
* very annoying for those who are single!
*nice presents
*getting a free meal!

although Valentines Day isn't for everyone those who are in a relationship seem to enjoy it. Those who aren't tend to get bitter about it, its no different to any other day of the year and there's always a massive hype about it! I do think it's a good time to do something nice for someone and let them know that you love them. Every restaurant is always jam packed with loved up couples, which is kind of annoying if you're not into that soppy kind of stuff. It's so difficult to buy for men as well! Valentines Day is all about women these days and I think it puts a lot of pressure on men to do the right thing!. I believe it is kind of a pointless day and just another way for businesses to make money from the merchandise, which a lot of the time is extremely tacky and not worth the money! It is really nice getting a nice card with a cute message in, and can't complain about being taken out for dinner and getting spoilt. Even if it is only once a year!

Lincoln ghost walk

I'd heard a lot of stories about 'the hauntings' in Lincoln, so I thought i'd attend the Lincoln Ghost Walk which is held every Wednesday evening around the Castle and Cathedral up Steep Hill. The walk is an independant business run by a women called Margaret Green. There was a large group of students who attended the walk on this particular evening, we were walked around several parts of the Cathedral and the Castle, although we weren't actually allowed inside the Castle which was a bit of a let down. The man shared lots of stories about the history of Lincoln and stories about the ghosts that hang around those parts. A story I found particularly interesting was one about the ghost of 'the black rider', about 10 years ago a man was walking up steep hill he claims he saw a black horse ride past with a shodowy figure on the back, the horse stood infront of the castle and the knight said "open the gates for the king". After this man claimed he'd witnessed this, more people came forward with their stories about 'the black rider'. Although the information about Lincoln and its history was interesting the ghost stories seemed a little far fetched and the tour guide claimed he saw a ghost whilst we were all there. I definitely didn't see anything out of the ordinary!
