    He got more Christmas presents than I did!

      It's a fairly light piece about an Uptown Manhattan yuppie who, one night, goes down to Lower Manhattan on a blind date. For various reasons, he never gets to keep the blind date, and, in fact, for even more various reasons, ends up trapped overnight in Lower Manhattan, a world with which he's far from familiar even though he's lived only a mile or so away from it all his life. It doesn't really sustain, but there's a lot of t'riffic darkly humorous stuff in it.
      Sounds like my type of film.
      Light, yet with an underlying meaning.
      I enjoy the duality of mixing a simple story with a social comment, if it works.
      Dark is good as well; well, anything really, as long as it does not feel like a sociological comment upon the state of the nation.

'Twill be interesting, though, to see how and where Carlos' freestyle approach fits into Henry's plans. If anywhere.
        Three points.
        1)Can't I jump upon the Finbar "Rip the kiwi express."
        I have a ticket here somewhere, honest.
        2) You know that Havak might take that as a validation of Austin Healey.
        3)Good bench-warmers are hard to find.

                "Tickets, please!", called the conductor. Actually, it's the "rip anyone and everyone, but most of all Tamerlin" express".

                2) You know that Havak might take that as a validation of Austin Healey.
                Nothing on this earth would ever lead Havak to think that anything I said validated VD in any way, shape or form.

                3)Good bench-warmers are hard to find.
                I don't know about that. Leicester seem have about 22 of them every week these days.

                    • Another very bad news for the French team, Dimitri Yachvili still seems to be considered as the lead Half-Scrum of the French XV...
                      Well, let's not worry too much. He may still hurt himself until then. Or play better? No, that one looks unlikely.

                      I'm afraid Yachvili could perform correctly in the championship, but he's unable to play under the pressure that the English or Irish for instance will put on him.

                          • H-Cup result:

                            Stade Toulousain 29 - Ospreys (Neath-Swansee) 6

                            Under the rain and on a sodden field the Stade Toulousain managed to produce some good Rugby against a courageous Welsh team. In spite of the Italian referee who do his utmost to spoil the game it was a good match. Thanks to four tries the Stade Toulousain won the precious Bonus point it was looking for today. Your favorite French player, Mam'zelle Labit herself can be credited with a very good performance as he has shown the way to the whole pack.

                            The second surprise, the first one being a bad one, is also coming from Italia where Trevise has earned a convincing victory against Bourgoin.

                              Mmmm. I was tempted to add to my post that it was nice to see at least une grenouille with a wicked wit.

                                Yes, I noticed. Congrats.

                                Gwent -d- Stade Français wasn't a surprise?
