More info: Still on about technology, the Net is, I believe, bloody brilliant (to quote Ron Weasley), as are mobile phones - especially when running late for an appointment.
Having mentioned Ron Weasley, above, may I thank J. K. Rowling on behalf of all the magic(k)al community - probably in the world - for the word “Muggle”. There’d always been words for us (most, not too nice) but never for them!
Anyway, to continue. Below are a few pages of photos of some of the people in my life – if you're missed out, just let me know!. Click on any one to enlarge the pics. I’ve not bothered with names / captions, as you either know who they are, or it doesn’t make any difference (too many years of, “Ohh, that’s your Auntie Martha - or is it her sister, Annie? Where’s my other glasses?”).
What else, I wonder, to give you a fuller picture?
Well, I like Paddington Bear stories, and Winnie-the-Pooh pictures. My family say that if you watch Jack Nicholson in both the “Witches of Eastwick” and “Anger Management” it should give you a rough composite resembling myself. Personally, I’m not too sure, but I am sure that there’s more than a hint of Lionel Jeffreys (as the Grandpa in “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”)!Click here to see the front and back of my new personal cards
I like the music of the Mills Brothers and Queen, as well as Motorhead and suchlike - plus jazz, of course. I like reading Sci-Fi
– Heinlein, Dick, Van Vogt, A.C. Clarke, Dan Galouye, etc.
I was going to put “I like Dick - but don’t we all?” but then decided not to be common!
As for films, apart from the obvious ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lord of the Rings’, I just recently saw ‘Kill Bill’ - absolutely amazing! I like also ‘The Blues Brothers’ and ‘Blues Brothers 2000’, especially the bit in the Love Exchange, where that guy with the long blonde hair starts singing. Anyone know his name or address? Er, not of course that I thought he was horny or anything, just one guy admiring another guy’s - er - singing talent. Honest! Just as in the way that I admired the acting talent of the guy who played the main Skater Boy - he was one of the demons, or whatever - in ‘Dogma’ (the one with the blue jean jacket and blonde hair, who had that sulky defiant pout - hmm, I wonder if he’d be interested in knowing that I’ve got a cure for that).
‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ was really good, I thought. Kevin Kline was (again) superb - when is he ever not? And Puck was portrayed admirably.Other films I like are ‘Bill + Ted’, ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’, ‘The Ninth Gate’, ‘Stargate’, most “Arnie” films, the all-time great Sci-Fi movie “They Live!” (isn't it one of his best? - I'm a real fan) which just beats “The Arrival”, and I recently saw ‘Bullwinkle’ (and if anyone should know the actress who was the FBI agent [she was also in ‘Coyote Ugly’], will you tell her that I’d love to have a date with her mouth! Anyone for Tadpole Soup, as the song says?).
Just before I finish:
I’m also an avid Scooby Doo fan, as is my sister (probably more than me, fakte), and we all like Scooby Snacks (especially Zeus & Hecate – they’re like Scooby & Shaggy – shake a dog-biscuit box, and they both appear!). 
A beautiful, well endowed young blonde, goes to local pet store in search of an exotic pet. As she looks about the store, she notices a box full of frogs. The sign says: “Sex Frogs! Only €20 each! Money Back Guarantee! Comes with complete instructions!”
The girl excitedly looks around to see if anybody’s watching her and whispers softly to the man behind the counter, “I’ll take one.” The man packages the frog and says, “Just follow the instructions carefully.” The girl nods, grabs the box, and is quickly on her way home.
As soon as she closes the door to her apartment, the girl takes out the instructions and reads them thoroughly, doing exactly what it says to do...
1. Take a shower.
2. Splash on some nice smelling perfume.
3. Slip into some very sexy underwear.
4. Crawl into bed and put the frog “down there”.
She then quickly gets into bed with the frog and, to her surprise, nothing happens! The girl is totally frustrated and quite upset at this point. She re-reads the instructions and notices that at the bottom of the paper it says, “If you have any problems or questions, please call the pet store.”
So, the girl calls the pet store. The man says, “I’ve had some complaints this morning - I'll be right over.” Within five minutes, the man is ringing her doorbell. The girl welcomes him in and says, “See, I've done everything according to the instructions and the damn thing just sits there.” The man, looking very concerned, picks up the frog, stares directly into its eyes and sternly says: “Listen to me! I’m only going to show you how to do this one more time!”
Can you believe all you read?
A perfect example of deconstructionism!
