p.s. a little cue for those that never managed to quite join the dots (or aren't British)

My worse suspicions have been confirmed. We've thrown out the baby instead of the bathwater. The real troll is still here.

I thought it was some nickname for Liz Taylor...

She broke a lot of barriers, not just with that beautiful face of hers, but with movies that pushed the boundaries like Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Cat on a Hot Ti Roof and Suddenly Last Summer. And of course all the work she did on to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS. She was a class act.

Yes, she was definitely in a class of her own. I had the pleasure of meeting her once at Robert Mitchum's farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland around the Xmas season 47 years ago when I was 16 I think (I had my drivers license and was still in school so it had to be around '63~'65) I went to school with Mitchum's youngest son, Chris. I used to hunt deer on their farm (Belmont Farms). My best friend's farm and Belmont Farms shared a common border.

She was a beautiful lady with a checkered life no doubt. May she rest in peace.

He would. He also conveniently left himself out of the picture even though he's attended one of them as well.

Call it nostalgia (or boredom).

Still thought it a nice picture anyway, that would have brought a smile to the fizzog of any Brit.

I feel as if I'm getting very old wondering if there is any comedy these days that does not involve sex or swearing. I'm not saying I cannot enjoy the latter, it just seems comedy without these elements is rather a thing of the past. I wonder why.

Well, The IT Crowd is pretty enjoyable. I may have a bias, though, being a code monkey and all.
