Are you deliberately posting with a date stamp of 6 November, or is your computer playing silly buggers with you?

It is not my computer, and, alas, it very much is. That is what you get for going to the cheapest internet-cafe in the neighbourhood.

Oh for pity's sake -- have they STILL not managed to give you a working phone line of your own, then? This is getting ridiculous!

Tell me about it.
Did you manage to read the essay? Did you like it?

I have seen it, but the scene I remember most is the bit on an episode of MASH, when the movie breaks and the audience pulls a "rocky Horror" and shoots themselves up. It was funny. But I honestly wasn't tempted to see the western again. Now Big Country - that's a heady glass of wine.

Well, as I said on another occasion when the subject was Casablanca, I regret that you miss the pleasure of this great movie. But tastes are individual things. However, one thing: there is remarkably little shooting in My Darling Clementine.
