    LOL, seriously!;) gf came in the room and announced, 'we're going out tonight in half an hour, BE READY!' I'm there shakin' my head when my buddies show up. Now I'm really worried, WTF is going on? Are they going to bring me to the psyche ward?

    They say 'We're going out for a drink and you're coming.' They carry me out and there's the 'wheelchair accessible cab'! Now I'm really perplexed until the cab pulls up in front of the movie theater and guess what was playing? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2!:celebrate
    Ya, ya, what's a 58 year old man doing watching fantasy? Keep your rolleyes to yourselves please, the movie was very good but what was even better was the :heart my friends showed.:) That means more to me than any stupid movie ever could. We also had a 'few' drinks after so I'm currently completely drunk!:phttp://bestsmileys.com/drinking/2.gif:-D

    Don't worry folks as I'm not going to post on any tech help ATM!:p:-D However, I may need some 'hair of the dog' tech help whenever I get up.:-D Buh bye.:)

    What a magical treat :clap
    I'm sure this display of genuine love and friendship will stay in your memory and your heart forever :)

    PS. I'm not as young as I used to be rolleyes and I have enjoyed the whole Harry Potter series, I have especially enjoyed watching them grow up.
    It's been a well paced and interesting series, congrats to all concerned on a job well done.

    Hear hear! Hollywood could have never accomplished this! I also have to give kudos to J.K. Rowling for insisting that the movies be faithful to the books. I was somewhat dismayed when they said that the 7th book would be 2 movies. Now that I've seen them, I agree that there was too much for just one movie to give it proper justice.:)

    Ya, they're really good folks.:) I didn't pay a penny last night so there's a big BBQ that I'm going to hold. I believe AAA prime ribeye steaks are in order along with sufficient libations eh?;)

    Hehehe, I remember when I first read I, Robot' when I was 10 which got me going on the sci-fi/fantasy road and I've never looked back since.

    Yes, I am blessed in that respect.:) There wasn't much of a hangover either. That hollow leg of mine is still working!:-D

    Going to see that movie with the boy this weekend.
    Wish someone would kidnap me and force me to have a great night out.
    Knowing my luck, they'd take me to see Gordon Ramsay's new turkey.
    Nice one Augie.

    It's a good movie as the CGI fits the scenes so well that one doesn't think of it as such. A fitting finish to a great series though I can't watch the first three ever again, aimed at kids, I guess I've grown up since.;):-D Enjoy.

    Just noticed, Augie. Your new (to me) title......
    Sorry, mate, I had to laugh.
    Why do I find it more appropriate than 'The Smart One'? jk (Rowling....?)

    Ya, the old one was funny ATT but got burdensome after a while as I field a lot of hardware questions and it may have mislead people to think that I'm like some silicon god, I'm just a self taught amateur like most of us here.

    LOL, I do like the new one too.:-D
