A train, some movies, a game... and a bag of Jelly Bellies.

Actually Jelly Bellies don't contain gelatine. My brother (who's vegetarian) eats them and he's careful about that sort of thing. From their FAQ:
Q: Do Jelly Belly jelly beans contain gelatine?
A: No. Jelly Belly jelly beans do not contain gelatine.
Q: Are Jelly Belly jelly beans suitable for vegetarians?
A: Yes they are, however some strict vegans may have issues with the beeswax and shellac used to give them their final buff and polish.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.
Watched DRIVE ANGRY last night - I can't claim to have been disappointed, but that's only because my expectations were practically nil to begin with. Not a good film.
Todd:
Yeesh, did you HAVE to link to that Looney Tunes Show preview?
As for ALICE, I'm enjoying it so far. Great art design (very much along the same lines as the original game, albeit with 2011 technology) and very smooth to play once I realised you could disable the 30 fps cap on the PC version via an .ini file. As 3D platformers go, this is one of the better ones, though like the first game the combat feels pretty clunky. Then again, I suspect it was made with a gamepad in mind and I'm using a mouse and keyboard.

Belated birthday wishes, Michael.
Sorry to be late. That's me not paying attention again.

I used to love those banana flavoured shrimps that used to be sold at Woolworths, anyways i stopped when i discovered gelatine ( found in Jelly Babies ) is actually leftover parts of animals such as horses hooves and the sweetie contained that ingredient, as does jelly babies and even jelly itself.
Drive Angry apparently looks great in 3D.
Ice Cold In Alex is a great film.
