Einstein's Ghost! The working week is over which means it's time to rest up and watch movies, yay us!

SATURDAY 24th NOVEMBER
Spider-Man 2 (2004) 5* 5:35pm-8:15pm (2 hours 40 minutes)
Peter Parker continues his fight for justice, but unrequited love and personal worries take their toll and he is tempted to abandon his web-slinging alter ego.

Comic-book adventure sequel, with Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Alfred Molina, James Franco and Rosemary Harris.
The Good Old TV Times!
Led on your belly with head on hands, in front of a faux wooden box on top an oak cabinet, eyes as wide as saucers glued awaiting the eveningâs entertainment! Four channels is all we had and even so weâd only watch two of them.
Being the youngest, the family hierarchy dictates that you be the remote control. Dad would direct you to the channel to switch as you stodgily walk on knees to the big brown box. After a while youâd try and tempt fate by switching channels whilst dad was sleeping only to hear a muffled but firm "I was watching that"! Then youâd rush back to your spot on the sofa trying whole heartedly to blame your older sister only to get the evil eye off both off them.
Sure we were telly addicts but who wasn't?
Straight home from school the big brown box would be glowing with luminescent joy and weâd watch, Thundercats, Masters of the Universe, Inspector Gadget, Danger Mouse, Bugs Bunny on Rolf's Cartoon Club, Happy Days, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and just before bedtime Only Fools and Horses and Cheers.
The theme music to Poirot and Lovejoy still send shivers down my spine and give me that queasy âI have school tomorrowâ feeling and have most likely forgotten any homework I had and do I have P.E?
On the bright side hereâs a few T.V. themes to get you through the day so you don't have to think about school and hey we're grownups now and we never have to go to school ever again :-)

Benjamin Franklin's kite! It can't be movie time again?!

Have a happy retro weekend :-)

Wrap Up Warm With TruffleShuffle This Bonfire Night!
Wooosh! Fizzle! Kablaaamo!
No, it's not an episode of Batman from the 60's, it's likely these are some of the noises you may be hearing tonight! Just a mere five days after getting dressed up like a weirdo, Bonfire Night is most likely everyoneâs second favourite day of fun.
Building fires out of old pieces of discarded furniture, crumpling up newspaper and stuffing them in an old pair of paisley pyjamas your kind old granpappy donated to you for the Guy.
Keeping warm was the thing - your mum would wrap you up as if preparing for a hike to Antarctica, Parker, mittens with the piece of string, scarf and woolly hat, never before has anyone been so cosy.
So Let TruffleShuffle be your over-protective loving Mother this year and wrap you up nice and snug before you go off and enjoy bonfire night. From Sonic, Sesame Street and Care Bears to Muppets and Gremlins, we have a great selection of warm and cosy hats to keep you snug and don't forget to add one of our Harry Potter scarves for some extra warmth!
