"Well, there was this one bit of tottie numerous years ago, and obviously when I could still get it up without medical assistance...Resisting my advances was wrong on their part. But I have learned from this and have only employed people who make the elephant man look pretty, and who will be easily bought for a few pounds to testify to my impeccable record as an employer and MP."

Glad you fancy Kitano movies, we can start a digression about cinema in the proper section but there was no need to rattle off your knowledge, I discovered many interesting personalities thanks to the forum and sometimes thanks to your work, take this opportunity to discover La Haine and appreciate the movies and the man behind them
