    Call me picky if you will but: 

    love Memes I do (In my best Welsh accent) 

    That sounds dis­tinctly like a SOUTH Walian accent to me… boyo! ;) 

    With you on Red Dwarf, Shame­less and Scrapheap

    Ok, right John, fair point. Amended. I don’t want to offend you ‘Gogs’ now do I?

    I can’t believe that you lis­ted “The Sure Thing” as one of your favor­ite movies. I have to admit that it was one of my favor­ite movies as a kid, along with “Back to the Future” and “Wierd Sci­ence” but it’s been ages since I’ve seen it. Admitidlty John Cus­ack is a dude, but “Grosse Pointe Blank” has to be his best movie.

    Andy, it’s a clas­sic — up there with The Break­fast Club and liek you say, Weird Sci­ence. Dunno, it’s just one of those speacial films. 

    John Cus­ack is a dude though, you’re right. His fight scene in Grosse Pointe Blank with Benny the Jet has to be one of the best on film.
