The proposition
Went to the cinema last Saturday to see "The Proposition" - an Australian film written by Nick Cave (who also did the music). It's basically an Australian western, a somewhat unusual concept, but it's really rather good. At first I though that the characters were slightly stereotyped, the lovable Irish rogues versus the overbearing British colonial captain, but as the plot progressed there was a certain moral ambiguity about them. This was reinforced by the fact that you never got to know the details of the crime that the rogues had committed, and more importantly the roles of each of them in it. A definite case of less is more, and worth look.
Afterwards we went to a pub which had British beer in British pint glasses served by genuine Britons - they even have a pub quiz on Sundays. Marvelous.

What's wrong with you, did you eat the lotus?
Yum!
Don't touch that, you don't know where it's been.
Ouch!
We don't have The Proposition here yet, but I think it does look interesting. You are required to go and win the pub quiz. Just find someone who'll have a hope in the sports round.
I hope there were also genuine Irish rogues in this pub out-drinking all the genuine Britons.
Hurrah for blatant stereotyping!
Hehe :-)
I didn't see any but at 52 krona a pint (about 3.75GBP) they'd have to be rather successful rogues.
Clearly there must have been a beer offer.
On the other hand, if you don't start adding more posts to this site soon I will strike you out of my will. And you know what is in the suitcase on top of the wardrobe.
Yawn! This blog is a good read just before sleeping... Even if you doze off, the next night you can reread exactly the same post, over and over again. Boring!
Away team to captain. sqrq ... ooooeeee ... sqrq Captain, sir, we have successfully beamed to the surface but the landscape is entirely barren. I'd say there's been no activity here for at least a month. There's nothing to speak of but sand and rocks and the fibrous remains of decaying sock puppets. The odd rusted scalpel.
Perhaps this was once a great civilisation but now ... nothing.
Wait. There's something written here. "Quadratish. Praktisch. Gut." What the hell does that mean?
ANDREW!
Wake up. Good.
Are you graduating in June?
Now I am king!
This space it's so empty! I'm pretty sure not even gravity hangs around. I may go for a pint and a good read chez the urminskys.
Yeah, this place is dead... Let's all head back to room4620!
I am now awake(ish). And I am graduating in June!
Andrew!

Hey there ...
post something interesting and I'll drop the cockney accent for good.
Purrr!
Hey, I'm here to remind the poor owner of these pages that I will be back and persecute him in real life.
Andrea, I have a grip on you! Mwuahahahahah!
