movies I've seen a zillion times and have practically memorized (in no particular order):

Memento
Real Genius
Royal Tenenbaums
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Dr. Strangelove
Head Gunner for the Royal Sloop Crimson Steel, Queen of the Dead, Instigator of Chaos and Confusion, Knight of the Grand Recursive Order of the Lambda Calculus, and also The Non.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

Awesome! I've only got it on VHS, haven't gotten around to getting it on DVD yet and I haven't had a Video Player for years. Let me know when your up for it and I'll see how I'm doing. Easter will be a bit of a problem, but other than that shoot me your thoughts and we'll go from there.

And Optimus, you should check out the Photo Gallery, you'll find that Barend and I offer a special deal for any Chefelfers that happen to land in Sydney (as Madam Corvax found out on a visit from Poland). We'll be happy to show you all around and take you to unusal places. Just give us a couple of days notice at least and you're as good as covered.

hmmm,..a special deal?..sounds like a Decepticon trap!...yet, Teletraan 1 isnt giving me any information on this either. Im a new cop currently, does that mean that my deal wont be as good as some of these infinite maximus posters that have been around since the ice age? Okay, so whats this special deal entail?

Well we try to cater the deals to the specific person and try and work on a theme based around their country of origin. That coupled with a little spontenaity make it difficult to be drawn into details. We do promise satisfaction and enjoyment though.

This weekend is no good for me, but I'm pretty free for the following weekend at this stage. Will PM you during the week and sort out some details.

Gordon Street!?!....ah, yes,...Gordon Street. I once knew a girl that lived on Gordon Street. ...but that was a long time ago, when I was a young man. Not a day passes that I dont think of her, and the promise I made, which I will always keep. That one fine day on Gordon Street.
