He was, though now of course we've lost Ullverston to Cumbria.

There is/was a muesum to him there. It was one of the funniest afternoons I've ever spent and well worth a visit. It's basically the house he was born in full of tat, and the man who shows you round is very serious.

Indeed, though this may merely be a technicality!

Apparently Lancashire is still intact! Greater Manchester and Mersyside, and of course those bits we lost to Cumbria and Cheshire are merely controlled by another administrative region!

Personally I think that is naff. Though it is what I have been told.

The best films are those that can still make you laugh or cry after hundreds of viewings. I can always settle down with "Some like it hot" and cry with laughter. That final line "Nobody's perfect" cracks me up every time. Also I love "The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values" (weird taste, I know). If you want a real tear-jerker, go for "Brief Encounter" (incidentally shot at Carnforth Station). And I can still be on the edge of my seat, even knowing what happens, watching "Rear Window" (another great Jimmy Stewart film).

For some strange reason the final shot of Close Encounters of the Third Kind always brings a tear to my eye. And for laughs, the Marx Brothers in A Night at the Opera is pretty hard to beat.

Hmmmm, now who does Margaret Dumont remind me of?????

I adore that film. I love the title track. I love Lulu, and I was soooo in love with Judy Geeson. Sidney Poitier was brilliant as the teacher that touched his pupil's lives.

We share so many similar tastes do you think we may be related?

I'm definitely not your mum, I'd remember

. I know my family tree but, well, rootlets do spring up from time to time, don't they? Maybe we share a common ancestor - and when I say common I don't mean "common" - if you know what I mean.

Classics like, Mary Poppins or The Wizard of Oz, you can sit and watch time again.

Meet Joe Black, I still end up in tears at the end of that film, even after watching it 100s of times!
