I was wrong then,i really am the oldest being(having dragged 30 for a few years)smiley - sadface.
"Get Carter" very good b/w brit film chilling in it's portrayal of calculated violence,leaves you feeling very uneasy.Michael Caine was a terrific actor before he decided to make his fortune.

How many years have you been dragging it then? And hasn't it gotten upset with you for dragging it all over the place? smiley - laugh

The first thing I remember seeing Caine in was Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. 'Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma' smiley - laugh Although that was Steve Martin who said that bit.

That old friend thirty has been tagging along behind for so long that i'm just about to introduce him to my new pal,Mr forty.smiley - sadfacesmiley - sadfaceOh don't, i'm very touchy about it.
Caine was funny in DRS but he has a wealth of real quality before that.In the late 50's early 60's Britain produced some really gritty films reflecting working class people,Caine was in two of the finest "Get Carter" and "Alfie".
I'm not old enough to remember them being made though!smiley - laugh

Emee, out from under the rock

Yep. We have zero holidays from Feb. 17 until May 26. It's a long dry spell. Thank goodness we have vacations days. smiley - laugh

Glad you're feeling better. I've got a persistant headache today. Think it might be my contact prescription.

Ah books. Love them. smiley - biggrin Have so many at home that I don't know where to put them anymore. smiley - erm

Tea would be good. Don't think the smiley - bubbly would mix with the ibuprofen I took for the headache.

Contact prescription? so many of your phrases i don't understand smiley - sorry if it sounds rude to keep askingsmiley - smiley.I guess an allergy medicine.
Which brings us neatly to our shared languagesmiley - biggrin.I've got books all over too(now that sounds like an allergy),loads of reference,biogs,Archaelogical textbooks and of course the good 'ol novel.smiley - smiley
I'll crash on in with my favourite author; George Orwell-a genius.

I have glasses & contacts. I'm wearing the contacts today and look like this: smiley - bigeyes The eye smiley - doctor sent me a card the other day so I know it's time to go back.

1984 and Brave New World are two of my favorites. They're prophetic in a way and so accurately describe things like the disintigration of language and the re-writing of history that I almost find them scary.

You are so right,if you look at all the "buzzwords" and media-speak around today,coupled with the attempts of certain parties to re-write history,1984 was worryingly prophetic.smiley - yikes
I've never read Huxley's BNW,but i've got the general idea.
I read every Orwell book when i was in my teens,through choice not school,and return to them every now and then to sort of clense my mindsmiley - smiley.My favourite is "keep the aspidistra flying",very post war britain.
smiley - cake?
