Subtitles on Downloads

Can anyone give me some advice on getting the susbtitles to work on a film I downloaded?

I downloaded "Pan's Labyrinth" and started watching it with Quicktime, but no subtitles. So I switched to my DivX player, which normally plays everything Quicktime won't, but no joy. So I've been reading up on this little problem since yesterday and it is starting to take up much more time than I would like. I've also tried downloading the VocSub and VCL programmes, but they don't appear to be compatible with my Mac.

Am I being a dumdumb?

As I couldn't watch this lasy night I watched Ep2.1 of "Life on Mars" instead. Ah, one of my favourite British shows, and just as good as I remember. I'm downloading Ep2 now, though I may have to do all of the first season as well.

Now, to do something constructive. More later... tabum.

Mini Coopers and Catfish

I forgot to mention the two dreams I had this week. In the first one I dreamt that I was flying a dark blue Mini. It had extendable wings and had to reach 200mph to take off, which was quite fun. I flew around England for a bit.

Then, in the next dream, I was driving an old-style Mini with my grand-dad sitting in the back seat. I was driving very erratically and almost got hit by another car.

Dreams about flying are fantastic. This is the second dream in which I recall flying and the feeling of it is amazing. It reminds me of when I was a kid and really wanted to be able to fly (yes, like the Worst Witch - purple tights, cat and all), and would get really frustrated because I didn't know what it was like.

In other news, my catfish, Slinky, is now over 12 inches long and quickly outgrowing his tank. My Mum mentioned that they are going to try and find him a new home as there's no room for him if he continues to grow. He must be about 10 years old now. If you know anyone who can house a cannibal catfish let me know.
