I’m a legend here too, Joe – in my own wardrobe. Hey !!! Thanks for the tip on the other page:

“Glad to see you enjoy the finer things, Kevin – be careful what you say as Blair’s people can see everything” or something to that effect.

I’m ‘fraid it’s a bit late to start warning me now but thanks anyway. And yes – I do like the finer things which is why I just know that I’m going to hate the gulag soup.

That was a joke, Mr Blair.

I haven’t seen it but I want to. Mother’s Day is coming up so I may drop some hints. I haven’t seen Happy Feet either. More hints there I think.

I’m ashamed to say I haven’t seen it, either. However, I plan to.

Joe, you might want to check out “The Wire” if you haven’t seen it – I was put on to it by a friend in the States, and he was right; it’s one of the best things on TV.

I’m going to have to see this film- everyone seems to be raving about it.
Last King of Scotland also.
Problem for me is, as a twenty a day smoker, the cinema is a rarity. The only film in recent years I’ve seen big screen are The Passion of Christ, LOR 1&2 and the latest Bond.

Jean-Luc, The shield is one of the few TV programme I will still watch, though Friday and Saturday nights are often bad slots for me. CSI as well.

E-K, you’re becoming something of a legend in these parts….?

E-K, Absolutely spot on, there is a real feelgood factor about this, I can’t wait to see the dvd.

Good on Dame Helen Mirren, good on the Queen. They both make me feel extremely proud.

I’ve seen the film and totally agree with Newmania. Helen Mirren deserved her oscar.

I haven’t seen it, Ellee, but the DVD is now available here. I’ve just used Dame Helen’s speech in a lesson – the students liked the bit about HM’s hairstyle!

I haven’t seen it, but will when I can. Herlen is a fine actress. Forrest Whitaker deserved his win. I saw him in the tv series ‘The Shield’ last year. He was brilliant.
