Well,I had a couple of DVD's off the missus for Xmas, "On any Sunday" which I first saw in the Cinema in Douglas, its premier in the UK I believe, in 1971, and another perennial favourite over there during race week, George Formby's "No Limit", brilliant!! but the flyable,remote control, helicopter one of my boys bought me really is the biz. so I sit there flying it now, with a 7th Cavalry hat on!!!!....Morrag

 The 2nd childhood's so much better than the first isn't it -you're old enough to really enjoy it.
