My five are:

Bertolucci's 1900
Gone With The Wind
An American in Paris
Eisenstein's Ivan The Terrible [courting with my husband at the NFT]
Rocky Horror Show [Tim Curry, phew....<drools>]

In reserve: Il Postino.

Clegg seems to be channelling Mr Angry again in the bit of his speech I've just seen.

Cameron's chest thumping may be more to do with the 'threat' of terrorism than Ebola.

Morning. Am I being unfair to Clegg ? He's voted for his government's policies that have caused so many people anxiety and depression, now we get close to an election he's pushing for more money/targets for mental health ? Bah humbug. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29529877" onclick=&quo...

Hopefully, a taster of what their faces will look like on the night of the general election as Labour win a majority.

So is it actually true about Rochester? Anyone from dahn sarf Labour heard the same? What's that Ernst ? Apparently, the party aren't going to serious contest Rochester and Strood. Were it me, I'd be calling up the activists, although I understand the temptation to let UKIP beat the Tories and spar...

Bit of an odd link, but thought it might cheer people up a little. After the Pride Of Britain Award ceremony, held last night at the Dorchester Hotel, a certain politician found himself very much in demand with the ladies, all wanting a 'selfie' with him; not bad for somebody "weird looking&qu...

Is it just my tablet or was there really no visible comments on AS live blog yesterday? Morning Giselle, hope life in Premier Inn is going well.

Guardian Beta seems up the shoot this morning. Just tried to reply to Rusty, my post half disappeared then launched itself. The posting box has now disappeared.

Rustinpeace is crowing about it on Andrew's blog.

How many before it can be described as a trend ?

The hall has filled up a bit since this morning, I think - but the camera shots of the audience aren't very clear. Maybe I'll get a better idea once "Tieless in Glasgow " has come to an end. One of FTN's more literary-minded put downs :lol: [I'd have gone for 'clueless' though myself.]

Thanks PF. Would look for myself but other half is watching sport on TV.

Is the hall still almost deserted ?

How about:

Mad Cow = Margaret Thatcher ?
[apologies to any mad cows out there]

Talking of the old bat, saw Pride yesterday, and can thoroughly recommend it.
Funny, moving, well written & acted, not a dry eye in the house at some points.
Even liked the Billy Bragg track at the final credits.

Not sure where to put this but: Re: Courgettes I always made the base of any chilli/bol dishes for my children basically a ratatouille style ragout thingy, so if you have any spare courgettes, bung them in there.

Now have a crop of new flowers, un-aphid affected, so hopefully a lot of new chillis too in a little while.

Stumped. I've no idea where to go for news and comment, now. The Indy is as bad to view as the new beta version of the Grauniad! *harrumph* Maybe that's what's next for FTN, a daily rolling news blog section with no comment, just links and headlines ? Spotted the flaw though, no point in putting Gu...

Am probably being cynical but wonder just who will provide the pre-paid cards and where will benefit claimants be able to use them ? Unlikely that a cheap market stall will take them, or have the technology to do so, so it will limit where people can buy food. As always with the Tories, who benefits ?

This site is looking good! I think we should have a poll. Who will the Guardian back in May 2015? I say it'll come out for a full blown Tory Gov. It's happened before. In 1951 they endorsed the Tories & the Liberals, and in 1955 they endorsed the Tories. http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog...
