..now that I work in the countryside it seems quite reasonable to keep a gun in the office and shoot at the Squirrels that are munching our cabling.

There were corners of Battersea Park so infested with squirrels they had begun to feel like no-go zones. Nasty.

Meat Puppets: Up on The Sun :)

WOW! What a thing. Giorgio Moroder?

I re-wathced Chariots of Fire the other day. Outrageous! Especially liked Nigel Havers doing the hurdles in the grounds of his stately home, his butler having balanced a glass of champagne at either end of each hurdle to test Havers' leaping precision. Dodi Fayed produced it. For that punch...

Guess they stuck together for the filthy $. Some of the shocking specimens I've worked with over the years make Johnny look like an angel :confused:

I see the sense in that, but still think the last 15-20 minutes ham-fisted in the context of a film that relies on the delicacies of shrewd social satire and great timing. Next time I see it though, I promise to think more deeply about the Gorilla.

I have a old Japanese painting of a crow at home. He is very beady but certainly benign. I'll try and post a pic of it here.

Trading Places: Awesome, buy why the peculiar degeneration into farce towards end (man in monkey suit etc) takes SOME of the shine off for me

Sorry, you're trying to discuss Coming to America. I see that now.

A joy for sure. Dan Ackroyd in a Santa suit is a great model for all wannabe degenerates. Denholm Eliot is wonderful. And as for the recipient of the $5 tip in the gentleman's club: "..I can go to the movies……on my own" Shame about the farcical scenes on the train towards the end. Spoils a...

Mobbed I've been mobbed by crows in Richmond park with my dog. That day I took to walking with a big stick, shit scared I was in for a pecking. I even broke into a jog at one point to get away, shouting to the dog "Run Poppy run!". The whole episode sent shivers up me spine. Later on same...

Green with envy. UK weather (in the south esp.) is mawkish and soupy these days. No bite. No snow. No fun. :mad:

Jim Giveth Certainly rings a bell. And reminds of me of a third hand story I heard about Jim Davidson. A group of ne'r do wells just outside my ken are sitting in a Surrey boozer discussing the loss (confiscation?) of their soundsystem. Jim Davidson happens to overhear them. The boozy comic and...

Vacherin Have enjoyed the above baked a number of times. Ate at room temp. for the first time over New Year. The singular most intensely lovely cheese experience I've ever had. Really quite unforgettable. I only stopped when there was no more room in my arteries

In driving back to UK with Cheese I've found that returning to the car after fuel/coffee stop is the problem. Only then do you realise you've been couped up with a foul lactic miasma for 100's of k's.

Joy Division is to Pat Nevin as Magnum is to Steve Davis

Stuart Pearce Into Punk

Bob Willis Well known Dylan buff. Once admitted he'd rather see Dylan live than play for England. Tut tut.
