Apart from the stunning views of Gods own country, I also got a great view of Pete Postlethwaites errmmm .... how can I say this .... tackle

After 10 years of US censorship I can tell you it did come as somewhat of a surprise to see the very talented Mr Postlethwaite and his female co-star running around showing off far more than their acting abilities. Don't get me wrong, I'm far from being a prude, but you do get used to not seeing this much CLOSE-UP nudity on tv here.

Apart from having to fit my eyeballs back in their sockets and pick my jaw up off the floor

I can relay that I thoroughly enjoyed this black comedy

Gosh I remember that film, it was called Among Giants, the sex stuff amazed me too... LOL
The girl was Australian Racheal Griffiths of Six feet Under.

I hardly noticed Pete till I saw brassed off then I noticed everywhere...

Now I see Im saying what dunroving already said Huhhhhhhhh...

I will second and third that... way behind the times, and just to keep a few happy.

I get tired of hearing words bleeped on Broadcast TV, its not like we dont know what they are saying, again to keep some happy, I wish there was a better way, channels for bleeped and Not Bleeped.

I've always found it funny how there's no way in hell a bit of boob or tackle is allowed to be shown yet movies with murders, rapes, shootings, drugs, gang activity etc are fine ??

.

I guess boobs are more dangerous than I thought !

I think they are Victorian and Edwardian terraces rather than Georgian........though I have been known to be wrong.

There you are Gab....wondered where you'd got to

. Haven't heard anything from you for ages.

BTW the TV in Canada is almost as bad, as most of it is US junk, except for the PBS stations and BBC Canada.

First 5 or 10 minutes of every local newscast is very depressing, its either cops killed or cops killing, gangs or lovers or bar killings, think Ive got um all, its wall to wall Murder here, we have so much to choose from, here in Oregon we are overloaded with local news its on

4-9 in the morning...

12-1 at lunch

4-7 in evening with 30 mins of that national...

then again at 10 or 11 depending which channel...

Very Depressing... no wonder the country is in a mess...

Theft is up here too, at least it seems that way, lots of jewel store robberies, people looking at expensive stuff to buy and running off with it...
Lots of Morons taking ATMs out of mini marts too...
