And a Morris Minor! I learned to drive in one of those. Same here! Dad kept moaning about what I was doing to his clutch. Small world! And a very sturdy little car. Ours kept going into the 90s. |

Perhaps you'd appreciate my b-i-l - performer, maker, magician, teacher... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quGuW...uGuW3IpCJU (And the best uncle to my kids. Sorely missed. Especially the Christmas presents). Great atmosphere building in this film, btw. They don't do it like that any more. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I assume you've seen this before M'Virn? Never assume anything, as the great Servalan once said. Answer the question, damn you!**flees from federation retribution** NO! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Nice to have some 'proper' music in the background, too. A bit of an obvious choice, though.

The over-loud soundtrack does rather detract from the dialogue.

The dialogue is very clear though. They cut the music a while back, after the jazz number. I'm not sorry "You're not sulking, I hope?"

A brief burst of Camptown Races from one of the fairground rides, but that's all. |

If you still need cheering up, those aircraft controllers remind me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqm7...qm73DLtwD0 (Listen to it later - it's too long and too funny to waste). Edited by M1795537OCVirn on 21-03-2024 20:31 "You're not sulking, I hope?"
