      then, of course, there is always my favorite, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (which I still have to drag dear TH to).
      Please don't say "drag" in that reference
      “He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

        Favourite Fiction: David Copperfield
        Favourite Book: Memoirs of US Grant. Wellington by Richard Holems. Currrently treading HenryVIII by Alison Weir.

        Favourite Movie: Ahhh.... I would have to say, The Spy who loved me and Roman Holiday. The DVD of Battleship Potemkin went bad on me a third of the way through. Before that it was going great.

          Properly a "Freudian slip"! ;)

            Applause! Your skimpy premise barely conceals the "in your face" filligree
            of a tight but open question which otherwise may well have remained hidden under a cunning veil of silken modesty...

            And if you can work out what the bloody hell that means, yr'a better man than I
            Where's the bloody gin? An army marches on its liver, not its ruddy stomach.
