anyone else had problems due to the weather. 1hr 45 that normally takes 20mins .

Main road closed road then the back single track road flooded with about 20 cars needing to turn.

All this and I was in my Mini:ragin::ragin:

Gets back to the stone garage only for the burn to have bust it's banks and it's all flooded round the garage but not in it, put my car away but thinking not such a good idea.

closed A9 at Glenbervie Golf Club 3 mins from home.:ragin::ragin: and still is.

Took the back road Bogend Road (do you know the one I mean) but some nut in a Civic tried to go through a massive flood and broke down right in the middle of the road and in the middle of the flood, meaning about 20 or so cars had to reverse and do U turns as other cars were still trying to come down the road causing massive jam, ended up going back the other back road to Granada Services and coming home the motorway to Kincardine roundabout. The road form us to you is closed at the bridge under the motorway.

More importantly, what did you watch and was the film any good?

Your really not meant to take your work home wit you Andy - it's unhealthy not have a good Social/Work life balance ;) :p

Went to see The Day The World Stood Still - was ok, poor start with some very dodgy scripting and acting but picked up later on as you become more "emotionaly attached".

Was a little confused at the end as it didn't answer any questions, but I guess it's more a thought provoking film than anything else, quite clever really.

Overal - 6.5/10 :computer:

What would be your rating on that one? Getting good takings?

Not seen it, and it hasn't opened that well so won't be showing long with us anyway.
