"The film was incredible but the use of 3D was utterly pointless. Having said that, the massive glasses were useful for disguising my tears during the bit in the furnace. I think 3D technology is a horrible thing. This was confirmed for me during the trailers where literally every movie was an animated movie about an animal overcoming some sort of ridiculously contrived plight, but wait IT 'S IN FABULOUS 3D!!!
"And, also, when I went abroad in April, there was a Man City game against Arsenal and I wore my shirt to bed because I just thought, “We have to win this game,’ and we won. Arteta scored at 90 seconds, a minute, so that was good for us, but then we lost the next week to a team at the bottom of the division, so I wasn’t impressed either. So, it’s swings and roundabouts.
"It was the day of the royal wedding and having been stuck in all day watching the ceremony on TV, I was determined to get outside and join in the party. I called up one of my mates and he was keen to join. As I live in Brixton and he lives in Roehampton we decided to meet on middle turf, Putney - a place we also both know more than anywhere else in London. We found an exclusive pub down by the Thames and drank our next pint of lager with pride.... this one was for the royal couple!"
I researched the journey online and via my phone. Thankfully, it was very straightforward and I could memorise it - whenever I give my wife a Google map on my iPhone to navigate with, she presses the wrong button and gets annoyed that she doesn't understand how it works!

"Arranging user stories in the order you’ll build them doesn’t help me explain to
others what the system does."
