I was walking through Southend the other day, when I spotted these in a shop in the Victoria Centre:
The shop is called The Teddy Station and it's on the upper floor. They do all kinds of themed soft toys, as you can see, and the quality seems reasonable enough.
... about programming, growing up in the 1970's and 80's, games, science fiction, working in a charity book shop, films, spending too much time watching television, living in Basildon and Essex, and whatever else emerges from my fevered imagination. If you're reading this, it's your fault you clicked on the link: I am not responsible for your actions.

Despicable Me 2 - The Minions (and Gru) Return!
Taking advantage of Cheap Tuesday, I went to see the latest Despicable Me. Gru, having a difficult time adjusting to non-villainy, is recruited by the Anti-Villain League after a mutating serum is stolen by a mysterious super-villain.
Absolutely hillarious. Steve Carell is back as Gru, ably supported by Russell Brand, as Dr. Nefario, and Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, Elsie Fisher as his three wards, with Kristen Wiig as the new love interest (I can see women everywhere trying to buy a lipstick taser).
It's the minions who steal the show, however, as you'd expect, starting with a 21 fart gun salute and ending the film with funniest rendition of Y.M.C.A. I have ever heard. Go and see it: you won't regret it.

Despicable Me
If you want to watch a great family film over Christmas, you could do a lot worse than this:
Grue (kudos on the Zork reference), a super villain, has competition from Vector in his latest plan to steal the moon, and uses some little girls from a local orphanage to help him.
Surprisingly awtic (something that makes you go "awww"), the minions are a stroke of genius and I'm surprised they're not franchised already. I'd love one!
... and the joke about the Fart Gun, "I ordered a Dart Gun!"
