As you wish. I'm still counting on the frog... Edit: Didn't fly, she must be too large and I don't have any software to change her on this machine. Lets try a pic of my favorite toy... Edit2: That worked, but I'm really counting on the frog...

The radioactive avatar was beginning to annoy even me.

Um, because I was telling you / admitting to it? I said that because I had inadvertently made reference to it earlier in the thread and Moosey thought I thought he thought, oh, never mind... I pride myself on not being a typical "Amer-o-centric" American. I simply meant it's strange that films open at different points in time in different places. I understand why it used to be the norm, promotional expenditures and all, but the world has shrunk so drastically with the proliferation of the 'net that I'm still surprised when something like this is so unknown (to others, not just us Yanks) outside of its country of origin. There seems to be no reason any more to stagger release dates for films. Does this mean I don't get the froggy avatar? Edit: Fixed. This was the post edit apologetic oops after the error: "Sh*t, forgot to log in, again. Feeling pretty stupid right now... "

I never said you were Aussie. Sorry, Moosey, I forgot where I was for a moment. Most of my friends give me a bad time because I'm a bit of an "Aussie-o-phile". I've been there several times and had a great experience always, so I'm ever going on about it and they think it's funny.

No, that's strange. Mark Knopfler & Co. were/are huge here in the states. That just baffles me... (Not to mention, despite his strangeness, he's one of my personal favorites. Also, I am NOT Aussie! )

Found this by complete accident... http://www.peak.org/~jeremy/dictionary/dictionary/

Rumours abound here in the states that Clive is due to appear as a guest on the sitcom "Just Shoot Me" as a means to fulfill the promise of their title. Just kidding... Or dreaming.

I'll be sure not to miss it then, only just opening here. Strange business, that.

Bummer. Oh, well, I always play by the rules.

I should have seen that coming, RK. It's pretty much common knowledge among those who read and keep up on current events. They were much in the news several years back.

They are (pardon) dead serious, RK. These freaks even have lawyers and lobbyists. It's enough to, well, you know. I just wanted to point out the truly sick to those who think of us that way. What do you bet that starts a whole new topic for the bored ones?

Check it out again, GR, I just couldn't resist. Hope you remember The Monkeys.

It is, in fact "far" to say, Mr. Visiting, very far indeed. Leaving out any and all other considerations, anyone who refers to his wife as "Mommy" in public (on many occasions, mind you) is, by definition, an idiot. Can we close this thread now, GR, or, to quote Dr. McCoy from Star Trek (also a front runner in the DL world): "He's dead, Jim".

Nope, that was Elmer Fuddstein...

Oops! Backspaced instead of edited.

Um, anyone? I'm just going to get in trouble here...

...ah, what's known as a drum roll, no doubt. Actually, more commonly known as a rim shot...

That's because I'm not so devious as to create several personae and vote more than once!

Ah, how times change. These days, that'd be a compliment. In fact, he'd get thrown out of a circus for likening an elephant's anus to Blackpool. Blackpool reminded me; worst arsekicking I ever received was asking a guy from Hartlepool, "Who hung the monkey?". http://www.rjh.f2s.com/monkey/

Wow! Faint praise?

Damn, how do I add a photo? I so have a comeback for that! Check out www.awfulplasticsurgery.com Not for the weak of tummy, however... Edit: More specifically, http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/004164.html

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3694953/ I would be very surprised if her obit didn't make the British papers, she really was the first popular cooking show host, but the Two Fat Ladies are still my favorite. Edit: As to the famousness test, this from the article, above: "Child won distinguished awards in both broadcasting (a Peabody in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966) and cooking. In 1980, she became the first woman member of La Commanderie des Cordons Bleus de France."
