It really does make a nice change being ahead of the US in release
dates in something. (How can they release "The Chicken Run" over there
first, dammit?)

Same thing happened with GP2, we went nearly nuts here for about two
weeks hearing all the European r.a.s. posters rave about GP2 while we
waited for Microprose to get it's act together and release it for us
across the pond.

I'm afraid to say it, but if it happens again with GP3 it will probably
result in lots of piracy of the game here in North America, especially
with the large installed base of DSL and cable modems here, you can bet
it will make it's way here electronically if the physical means takes
very long.

Looking forward to GP3, (already have a copy on hold).

Wallace and Gromit are great too. :) The series is also made by Nick Park.
If you've never seen them, Blockbuster has them for rent.

Or buy the extra cool W&G Region DVD! It's marvelous :)

Two Oscars and one nomination. "The Wrong Trousers" goes high in my classic
list of comic animation.

No idea, just so their messages aren't stored on a server. Paranoia ? maybe
;)

It could be to stop someone from quoting something they said 8 years ago and
proving them wrong :)
It doesn't always work anyway because people reply to messages and remove
that line.

Any film that has a crminal mastermind penguin disguised as a chicken
deserves an oscar : )

Since we're off-topic, does the same lady to the voice for the 'main' hen who
does the voice in 'Bob and Margaret'?

As one would hope. If there's no difference in the handling,
what's the point of implementing weather anyway?

Reasonably, but it doesn't matter to me.  I have no problem standing behind
anything I say(type).  If I'm proven wrong, I also don't have a problem
admitting it...<g>

No (that voice belongs to Alison Snowden), but you're very, very close -
different shows, but same channel. The hen's voice is Julia Sawalha who
played Saffron, the long-suffering daughter, in 'Absolutely Fabulous'.

I'll second that!  I take my kids to a ton of family movies and this one was
really fun.  There are lots of funny references to the classic POW films -
"The Great Escape", "Stalag 17".  Highly recommended.

Hmm... I don't *remember* seeing 'Absolutely Fabulous' before, but I've heard
that voice before...<shrug>

Oh! Irony. Nope, we don't have much call for that around here.
