Oosperm oblectation...


On my travels again and I thought what a nice coincidence: bored but impressed on my first ride in this I noticed a foreign film called Starbuck and after all the furore in the UK and my previous post I decided it was clearly a message. Well, IMHO it was superb and to combine one or two reviews I have read today: 'Starbuck' is a hilarious, witty and heart-warming and what is surprising that no one has thought about this very real possibility before (already a Bollywood and US version are on the cards). The premise is original, developed with humour and tenderness and certainly a feel-good movie. More on Ken Scott's French-Canadian comedy HERE: "David, a delivery man for his family's butcher shop who learns that his lucrative late-'80s stint as a sperm donor has resulted in a staggering 533 successful pregnancies. Over a hundred of those now-twentysomethings, having learned they share the same biological father, are suing the fertility clinic to reveal the identity of the prolific donor code-named Starbuck." Well, well worth seeing, mainly due to the performances of Patrick Huard as Starbuck and Antoine Bertrand as his lawyer friend.

If that's one of the new Boeing's then I have been in the shadow of one flying Southampton to Paris. We followed it taxiing around CDG like a puppy following its Mum.

Will try and catch Starbuck the movie.

Near enough, it's the Airbus 380. Seen loads but first time I've been on one...it was in a marathon journey where in total I missed two flights, another got cancelled, risked arrest in Miami and had a shouting match with officials in a separate incident...not my favourite couple of days...but it had its good points!

Airbus - that's the bugger - pilot had to apologise for the lack of light as we followed it.
