Its A Mirror/Phase Thing
If one can be a connoisseur of body swap movies, then I guess I am one. I have seen all three versions of Freaky Friday (Lohan / Leigh Curtis is easily the best). Both versions of Vice Versa (1930’s wins). Like Father Like Son, where Dudley Moore realises he is short grown up and as a kid. Even Prelude To A Kiss, where Meg Ryan body swaps with an old man and Alec Baldwin has to kiss her as an old man. Ugh! Anyway, this is a long, complex reasoning why I saw Its A Boy/Girl Thing, you have to be completist when it comes to high concept flicks. I did not go to see how bad Sharon Osbourne was at acting*.

Not Quite Giantkilling
Barnet are still in the FA Cup. Indeed this season, which started in such an appalling fashion (hovering near the bottom) has suddenly perked up wonderfully for my team. Midtable ignominy seemed out of our grasp in October, but the middle of League Two is so tight that we are unbelievably only four points away from the play-off zone (in fourteenth). Things can still go tits up, but since I still think promotion is beyond us, a little flirtation in the FA Cup is a lovely bonus.
