      "In The Court..." is also used to very excellent effect in the film "Children of Men"

      The only times I've been made redundant is when I didn't want to go. Those times where I applied for it I never got it!

      When it rains it's too wet to fix it, when it's dry it's as good as any man's roof.

      Good stuff, Tim. For me, another 'obligatory' railway-related TV programme was 'The Signalman' by Charles Dickens, starring Denholm Elliot

      Cheers Tim, happy Christmas!

    One thing that really rerally really irritates me about shopping, is when the shop arbitrarily changes its internal arrangement, so meaning extra time is spent in an environment I want to be out of.

    1. ozzyo

      ozzyo

      That is to try and get you to spend more time and money looking for what you want.

    2. Mickey

      Pubs seem to change internally after about a gallon! :O
