There, that should make you feel better.



Well while I have my critics, I must admit none have seen it necessary to sling my work out of a moving aircraft.... Yet. Or me for that matter.

P.S.
I thought you were implying you were a pilot. I didn't intend to scare the 'straights'. If you only fly on commercial flights, you should know that your pilots are the most rigorously trained and best-equipped professionals in the industry. I'd come a lot closer to blithely trusting a commercial pilot with my life than a doctor.



Oh no sorry if that came across. I wanted to be a pilot though. Me and my dad were this close to buying a light aircraft together and taking lessons, but he was asked to work overseas and that thwarted our plans. Maybe one day though, when I have enough filthy lucka!... And I'm not afraid of flying....I'm afraid of hitting the ground at severe speed! No my love/hate thing is from being in the terminal - it just drags on. Plus you have to be at the check in so long before you take off. I know it doesn't seem like much but when you frequently travel by air it really pains you. At least it does me!

Cheers for the imagery though Zoid. Nice :)

Wow them be some fancy movies yer talkin' about there. Does that mean your screen name is a reference to that opera?

Why thank you.... My screen name is from "The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari" A German silent film, epitomising the term German Expressionism. It may well have been made into an opera that I'm not aware of....But the central character called Caligari uses a Somnambulist to terrorise a small town. If you have the chance give it a whirl. It's visually stunning.

....there's just so many ways to go with this It's so difficult to focus on one point.
LOL
...No I think I can safely say, I've never had bad sex... I may have played a big part in someone else feeling like they've had bad sex - but to my mind it's always been great!

Ok you have really good taste in film and here I thought you were refering to La Sombulana(sp?). My bad. I really liked The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, but I'm cheesey and have to rate Nosferatu above it. Does that make me a bad person?

Such a bad person!

He, he. Of course not. Nosferatu is a beautiful silent film. I think The Cabinet of Dr Caligari just edges it for me because of the whole 'German Expressionist' thing. It's just something I'm into.

La Sombulana I'm not aware of, but I must confess I'm not very well versed in Opera. Of course I'm aware of the more popular ones, but I hadn't heard or seem that one. Is it good? Are you into Opera? For my A Level art exam I did an illustration for 'La Boheme' but otherwise my exposure to that has been minimal.

Although I love A Night at the Opera!!!! Go Marx Brothers!!!!

Oh by the way thanks for saying I have good taste in films.

Look, right now we have a tracking system, a large spinning mirror, and we’re trying to freeze something. It’s not going well.

I'm a religion student.
Really.
And no, I'm not joining the above discussion. Not at the moment, anyway.

Good.

No offence but the last thing you need in a discussion of the existence of god is religion. It just clouds the issue so much. I’ve already screwed that up in this thread and we don’t need anyone compounding it.

Fearlessly -- ironically -- I endeavour to venture back to the topic by lettin' y'all know that by way of vocation I do (colour) timing.

Partially explains many things, such as the eyeglass prescriptions, the poor tan, or the refusal to post spoilers.

Though I suppose my reaction the first time I saw my name in a flick's credits could sorta count as a religious experience.

Then again, nah.

Glad we wandered back to the topic. I didn't really want to argue about religion at the moment.

By the way, I'm your friendly neighborhood Taxman.
