Jim, did I say I fancied him? I said he was a very nice attractive man, and not an insipipip posh twit. (And actually, I have trouble remembering what Anthony Andrews looks like, no idea why I find him so unmemorable physically.)

There's a difference between thinking someone is not an insipipip posh twit, and wanting to rip their clothing off and shag them during the June sales, you know.

For that? Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth.

edit: gooooood morning, Fay. And, what she said.

Very, very true.

See, now I want to make a list of British/Irish actors who would fall into the latter category...

Good afternoon! (still giggling at your remark)

Angus ... I think it's a cheese and mustard flavoured crisp. It may be ham instead of cheese but is definitely mustard b/c its done in conjunction with Keens. Doesn't appeal to me but I'm sure there will be some who find it delicious.

You're talking to the World's Original Daniel Day-Lewis Ho. I fell in lust in the early eighties, when I saw "The Bounty."

The young Peter O'Toole. Hell, the old Peter O'Toole. The young Tom Courtenay. Ewan MacGregor. Richard Burton in his glorious best-voice-ever prime (Willow, you're needed). Did I say Daniel Day-Lewis? Oh look, I did. Give the man either his "Age of Innocence" suits, or his "Last of the Mohicans" loincloth. I'm so very much there.

Ah yes, jimi.

I'm surprised you didn't point out that in Adelaide, milk bars are called delis, just to confuse things further!

The thing is that havers is so inextricably linked with the nadir of '80s naffness that he's irredeemable.

Actually, that's not fair - the nadir of '80s naffness was the Gold Blend ads, and I guess ASH has managed to get away from that stigma. havers is still unwatchable, though. He's so smug. and he ruined the Gorse trilogy.

Anthony Andrews' best role was as the officer in the 70s series, Danger UXB. He played the bomb disposal loon during the blitz in WWII.

I've never used the term "milk bar", to me it has always been a "deli" and they aren't at risk of extinction in South Australia.

Hah! I was just getting round to it.

Jim, I think we may need to call for reinforcements...

Surely Sarah can be relied on to be a Havers-hater?

Damn, that was a good show. He really was superb in that.
