    Never seen it myself.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      What's with this thread necromancy today?

      A mate of mine invested some money in that film. I don't recall whether he got his money back or not, he wasn't expecting to.

        Crikey I just realised !

        I'm sure sunnysan only asked that yesterday and I was thinking about it today, and realised that I was going to to reply yesterday but didn't get the chance, so I replied to it today.

        Sorry about your friend who was going to invest in the film. Did he go ahead in the end ?

          He did invest, I just don't know whether he saw any return. I don't get to see him much these days.

          He was flush with cash for a while because he sold his large house in a pretty village that didn't have a pub in it and moved to a smaller cottage near the pub.

          He had been caught drink-driving enough times that if he was caught again it would have meant jail time. We also knew that his details were on a list of people that the police kept an eye out to stop so he couldn't take the chance.

            So since 24th May 2005 at 15:57, you've been thinking about saying you hadn't seen the film, but thought it all happened since yesterday?

            There's probably a film in that

              I wish I had no memory of the last 4 1/2 years too.
              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                Layer cake was ok, but Spartacus was better. All those burning things rolling down the hill. Ace

                    The makers of layer cake were going to make a film about the founder of f4j. But the project still seems to be on hold.
