    Ha - have to totally disagree! Different strokes [literally] for different folks...

    I guess I just prefer sultry Latin/European types, or British. Not keen on Ozzie accents either. Plus, I dislike obvious mainstream choices with these things and prefer to look more leftfield

    Brilliant dog walk this morning. Walking across a beet field we disturbed a hare, Tia (staff/boxer cross) chased it for about half a mile, bloody good going considering that she is possibly twelve years old.
    A little further on our walk and some highland cattle (local reservoir has put a few of them on their land) bellowed at Tia, so there followed a few minutes of her trying to outstare this bloody big bovine.

    Just so good having a dog and being lucky enough to have countryside/wildlife/farm animals on our doorstep

    Audrey Tautou is best known for her role in the award-winning French film, Amélie. She was much younger then, though.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    And you call me fussy! Oh and all the pics you've provided so far are "obvious mainstream choices", nothing leftfield there. I haven't checked, but I'm betting they are all in FHM's top 100.

    +1 for Kylie, she's our pocket-sized pop princess! Shame that her accent disqualifies her from the Marco Approved Birds checklist, as she just loves a Glaswegian accent (probably)

    Yes, but they're a damn sight more 'leftfield' than KM, who's past it now, anyway!

    Be honest, had you heard of Audrey Tautou before I posted that pic? And I've told you already, I'm *deliberately* being fussy to highlight what my (totally unattainable) 'ultimate' would be, much like if you were choosing your ultimate hi-fi system, which you couldn't begin to afford - you don't seem to be getting that, daftee

    Therefore, yes, for those reasons, I *AM* being super fussy... I'd better not mention then that no matter what she looked like, if she didn't have intelligence, class and sophistication, she wouldn't even get a look in - yes lucky her!!

    Can't help being discerning, no matter whether wine, women or song...
