I know I am often guilty of trying to shoehorn DsD favourite songs into RR topics on the most gossamer of connections. I've done it before with this song, A LOT.

Seriously, ToffeeBoy 's bewilderment over...

Recommended viewing isn't Terminator, but the rather charming Lst Chance Harvey with Dustin Hoffman and the wonderful Emma Thompson. Slight, but written for adults with superb acting, and virtually no special effects. Remember films...
