I think Slumdog is overrated too, the kids were good but the other actors were ordinary.
KW was v good in The Reader and definitely deserved hers.

Amongst my favourites.

I prefer his earlier stuff.
Saw him in concert a few years ago - quite a performer!

The West Point Story.

Thankyou, Howard and Bryan.

I wonder what you think of the new Macs?

Domi - what say you?

Tell me about it, I spent 8 hours in A&E once!

Being a "doctor's wife" is NOT a career.
I can't imagine any self-respecting female condoning the hubby's attitude.

(I know one lady paediatrician who is married to a "house husband" )

My major detraction from enjoying this film in spite of DD's talent for comedy is the "being a doctor's wife" thing! Very dated even for the 60's. More than 50% of medical students in the UK are women. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2002/jul/04/medicalscience.nhs http://student.bmj.com/issues/04/10/ne...

Yes, Marion - I remember now - don't you love "My romance?"

Julie? (It seems too obvious to be correct.)

Sorry, I tend not to post Qs as I am usually on the forum at odd hours.

Why do "developed" countries become anxious when others develop nuclear capabilities (or even demonstrate economic growth)?

The US and the UK have not shown us that they use their advanced military facilities responsibly (Iraq).

Please stop thinking in those "God bless America" ways ... God needs to bless the whole world! True in a way but I don't think that any god could take us out of that mess we're in. There's a reason why this so-called god of yours put people on this planet so they can in live in peace and harmony. T...

it's time that all countries work together to get us out of it! So you guys *NEED* a President who starts the real TALKING again - we are all in the same boat so to speak. ................ God needs to bless the whole world! Well said, Anke. Re: Obama - he can certainly talk the talk - it remains t...

Hi Anke, Marion

No comparison.

You go, Marion - I'm off to Nottingham in another hour or so - won't be home till Tues am.
Rum

Jumbo!

Bryan - you've managed to capture the atmosphere. I couldn't place the fountains - where are they?
I was at the food festival last week - great stuff.

Rum

Absolutely. It is playing in the background while I'm working.

"Here are some thoughts I had."

I love Monet too - don't much care for surrealism - interesting but I wouldn't want to see it every day.
My other favourite is Van Gogh - so "tortured" - i could stare at his paintings all day.
