How can I put this?
Jurassic Park is the greatest movie ever made!
Yes, that'll do.
It's true, Jurassic Park is my favourite film of all time and because of that, I'm in two minds about which way I want to take this post. I could just list all my favourite moments, memorable quotes and trivia from start to finish in a non-sensical jumble of dinosaurs and plot holes, or I could tell you about my friend Dave.
My friend Dave is a complex fellow.
He's the kind of guy who enjoys playing football with the lads, knocking back a few beers and playing a few rounds of golf.
He's the kind of guy who will force feed you meringue after a night out before launching a full family-sized tin of Celebrations chocolates across the lounge and hallway, whilst simultaneously swearing you to secrecy about eating said meringue as it was his mothers and she needed it for something important.
He's the kind of guy who approaches a dance floor the same way a Jack Russell approaches an open space in the fresh air.
He's the kind of guy who, given the opportunity, will vomit in a post box.
But he's also the kind of guy who shares my appreciation for the cinematic gem Jurassic Park; so much so that a while back he and I and a few other friends once ventured into Dorset's most majestic wilderness armed with a camcorder, intending to recreate the movie shot-for-shot. Our efforts, regrettably, did not measure up to our expectations and owing to a lack of costume, props, planning, or talent of any kind, the best we could come up with would have given the YouTube trolls a field day.
For my birthday last weekend, Dave put his hand in his pocket and bought me this amazing T-shirt gift bearing the famous Jurassic Park logo.
Thanks Dave for sparing no expense.
