No, I havn’t seen either one of them. I have read some extensive comments on a cave forum. It sounds like they are worth watching at least once. I’m not much of a movie watcher. I usually see a movie after it’s been out for a few years.

Their both out on DVD now. We buy the "pre-viewed" used DVDs, from Blockbuster, much cheaper! They are supposed to be horror flicks, but somehow they seem more like
Alien wannabes......
Plot (for both!):
Group goes down in cave and can't get back out.
They get attacked by strange creatures.
Some in the group get eaten by creatures (fun to try and pick who)
Some make it back to surface.
The end............

Of the two, The Descent, I think is better, but only because it has an all female cast.........lots of cat fights and wet tees..............

No, fraid not. My current caving activity is remembering. I haven’t been undergroung in a long time.
The laast trip I got lerft behind and found passages once easily negotiated a bit tight around my belly.

from deep in the archives:Caves reveal clues to UK weather
by Tom Heap
At Pooles Cavern in Derbyshire, it was discovered that the stalagmites grow faster in the winter months when it rains more. Alan Walker, who guides visitors through the caves, says the changes in rainfall are recorded in the stalactites and stalagmites like the growth rings in trees. Stalagmites from a number of caves have now been analysed by Dr Andy Baker at Newcastle University. After splitting and polishing the rock, he can measure its growth precisely and has built up a precipitation history going back thousands of years. His study suggests this autumn's rainfall is not at all unusual when looked at over such a timescale but is well within historic variations. He believes politicians find it expedient to blame a man-made change in our weather rather than addressing the complex scientific picture.
I like that closing sentence -- "future decision-making could be made based on scientific data and not on political expediency". I wouldn't count on it, but that would be great.
