1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

A day may come when the courage of men fail. A day may come when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship.But it is NOT this day! An hour of Wolves and shattered shields, when the world of men comes Crashing down. But It is NOT this day! This day we FIGHT! By all that you hold dear, on this good earth, I bid you stand....Men of the WEST!

Return of the King by any chance?

I'm with Rogue Monkey on this one... tho' the second and third Matrix movies lost the plot a touch (all this Great Architect and Merovingian stuff - a bit too masonic for my liking) and were a bit lacking for it. Stick to the William Gibson stuff it was based on (excellent author - he wrote the Cyberpunk books, Neuromancer etc.)!!

OK the effects were excellent, but to see the stuff nicked for a feckin' battery advert - that gets my goat!! (sh1t, I've just seen the irony of that - in the first movie, mankind was used to generate power for the machines, if you like, one giant battery - Hmmmm.)

As for LOTR - I got into all that pretty late on. I read The Hobbit at school, but didn't tackle the trilogy until my mid twenties (amazing what you can get through when you're working for a job agency where the only way they can get you to some rural industrial estate outside Ashford is by a rickety old van, top speed 40mph - ample reading time!!)
