If US forces had done the deed commander zero would have taken full credit.

l. Richard Attenborough gives a truly shocking performance in that movie. Shocking film as well. I have the book sitting on my coffee table as I write.

2. But the Americans perfected the art of the film noir.

3. And as far as Nigella, scotsman: TMI!

1—I would, as a very passionate British film fan, be happy to recommend classic British films (as well as classic European films) or to answer any questions on UK films.

I hope you mean shocking in the good sense, not as the word that comes before bad. LOL.

2—True. I love American film noir as well. But we made some great ones, which tends to be forgotten even by film critics in this country.

3-Joking. I do drool though.

Brighton Rock is a brilliant film but it IS shocking. I did not expect that climax and completely freaked out at that recording. Richard Attenborough started out playing the worst kind of villian and ended up playing Santa Claus. A very great actor. Also, I love the exterior shots of Brighton in the 1940s.

I know most of the great British films. I’ve seen ‘em all. I go to London theatre every year to see some of the most amazing actors in both classical and modern plays.

I’ll forgive you for the Nigella remark. But will I forgive Nigella for losing all that Rubenesque weight that made her so appealing? I think not!!

No, I think Brighton Rock is brilliant. It was just upsetting - as it was intended to be. I love the exterior shots of Brighton and Attenborough gives a deeply unsettling performance. Hard to believe, since I’ve always heard he is a very nice man.

I’ll forgive you for the Nigella remark but will I forgive Nigella for losing all that Rubensesque weight which made her so appealing? I think not!!

I was joking about the self-abuse.

Lovely Nigella has become an erotic icon for UK men, and the national joke is that we blokes watch the programme with the sound down, that her show has become almost semi-porn for men. She could be cooking babies and we wouldnt care. All that licking of spoons and most British men need a cold shower.

Vimto is a fruit-flavored, carbonated soft drink. Nothing like it in the States.

>Somehow a French Shepard guard dog just doesn’t inspire fear.<

Here is a Beauceron, or French shepherd, doing guard work the way the French teach it:

He looks pretty frightening and he’s sure not scared off easily.

Here are a couple of videos showing French dog training: (Note the very first grip this dog, trained with French methods, takes)

“Izze” carbonated fruit juice from Cosco is the closest to Vimto in the States.

I had to get pretty far through the article to see how Bisto fits in:

To succeed where others failed, Sergeant A – his identity cannot be revealed – went undercover, joining a group of Iraqi counter-terrorist personnel called Apostles and setting up a car dealership in an open-air market in the Rusafa district of Baghdad. His hair dyed, his face blackened by layers of fake tan – or Bisto gravy granules when he ran out – and wearing brown contact lenses, Sergeant A mingled with Rusafa’s movers and shakers, bought and sold cars and recruited sources.

And as a woman, I love her, too. She’s just so beautiful! I knew there were jokes about her fooling around with spoons, etc., but I didn’t know about the cold showers for the guys, lol. She’s not very well known over here - especially for the guys who watch the Food Network. I feel like I’m her only fan in America.

Sounds like our packaged puddings. Wonderful way to make a quick dessert.
