Haven't seen that one yet. I'll have a look :-) I was more
interested (as always) in finding things that no one else knows
about. It's something that a large amount of international travel
over a lot of years does to you. Makes you curious about things that
not many people know about... to quote Michael Caine.

I standing at a bus stop in Santa Monica (California) about three
years ago. Waiting to go down to the Paul Getty museum. An
Australian lady showed up, she was going as well. We got into a
conversation. The whole thing was a bit sort of British Secret
Services. There were FBI agents up one end of the street and SM
police next to me. Not to mention what was going on in the British
Consulate. We were discussing something that Michael Caine had done
in Los Angeles once when a film was being made. I looked at her and
said not many people know that sort of thing you know. She didn't
understand. Perhaps she was a sheep farmers sheila after all and not
a sophisticated Australian lady ?

Oh dear... something nasty and slimy just fell in through the letter
box (what's left of it). It's a free MS Office 2000 mouse mat from
Micro$loth (yuk)(vomit). Think I'll go out for a walk to calm down a
bit ?

Thanks
