Well, back in 2004 I financed a trip to the US from putting about a dozen boxed Transformers on E-bay. - Seriously, I got about $300 for one boxed Metroplex. Doing a bit of online research, I've seen some of the GI Joe figures (without all the accessories) being sold for $20-30 each. So I'm fairly hopeful that'll it will cover a few bills and such like if I get them all sold.

Plugging away on the job hunt. Also, dusting off and sorting out old GI Joe, Transformers, Star Wars, and Bravestarr figures and vehicles from the depths of the cupboards. Planning on taking it all up to a trading Toy Store and stocking up the old financial war chest by seeing what I can get for them next week.

For those outside the UK, UCAS is the admin organisation you have to go through when applying to University ; This is the reply they sent to a girl who jokingly filled out an application to Hogwarts as her first choice university.

How was your job interview yesterday? Well, I entered the office, found a man sitting on a large black leather chair with feet resting foron the table…. He pointed towards his laptop, asked me to take it and go outside, then come back and try to sell him the laptop… ... He thought himself as actor Leonardo Di Caprio of “The wolf of wall street” movie… So I took the laptop and left… Left… ?? Then what ?? Nothing… 30 minutes later he called me up, begging me to return his laptop to him cause all his work and important documents were in it….. So I asked him: Will you buy it ??

Got around to catching Deadpool 2. Plenty of entertaining gags, cameo's and amusing 4th wall breakage. Worth a watch, but storywise it falls slightly short of the first film. In some ways it feels more like a story put together to give an excuse to run through those set pieces and put in those jokes. The X-Men cameo quietly shutting a door so he won't notice them did make me chuckle.

Well, you always have to remember that for Will & Grace, John Barrowman was not cast as Will because they didn't consider him gay enough, but instead chose to go with straight man Eric McCormack. Casting choices can be quirky.
