There was a momentary pause, and an expression of confusion flitted across the face of Lord Greystoke's questioner..'I beg your pardon my lord, I am Marina, High Priestess of Ithaca and no men are allowed to set foot on this island ... Guards!,' she shouted.... Lord Greystoke's eyes widened as...

  10.

  14. Follow @cultboxtv and RT for a chance to win one of 5 bundles of horror DVDs with 'Dark Skies' - Info: http://t.co/hByles7Tnp #SkiesCB

  15. Am motoring through 'The Accidental Husband' by Jane Green. Love her books..
  16. sausage and mash with onion gravy..proper comfort food; it's cold outside!
  17. is a very long story...you see it was1847, and great great great grandma Agnes was engrossed in the hottest novel of the year, 'Jane Eyre'..
  18. Hmm, let's see; in no particular order TV 1. Hill Street Blues - brought big ensemble casts/multiple concurrent storylines to our TVs which I don't think we'd seen before 2. The West Wing - just so clever 3. Edge of darkness- 1985 TV version with Bob Peck and Joe Don Baker-corporate cover up and government collusion.. 4. Forbrydelsen (The Killing series 1 ) 20 episodes but so worth the effort 5. House of Cards (I like the UK 1990 version,but I hear the new US one is pretty good and I adore Kevin spacey) FILM 1. The Battle of Algiers- Gillo Pontecorvo -sobering portrayal of Algeria's fight for independence 2. A Star is Born- Judy Garland version.. she's a legend, and James Mason is tragic 3. Life is beautiful- Roberto Benigni - I defy anyone not to be moved by this wonderful and yet very funny film 4. Great expectations -David Lean .. the opening scene alone, so full of atmosphere. 5. The English Patient -beautiful scenery, a sweeping score and star-crossed lovers..what's not to like?
  19. 48 ..still feel young, but as my son turned 27 today I'm kidding myself...(and I have two lovely granddaughters)
  20. as he was only 3 inches high, nobody noticed him. 'Oo-eck' he said to himself, ( since he had learned english from observing our satellite broadcasts of Coronation Street ) ....
  21. just found a nice,short piece about who the cathars were and what they believed in..http://www.cathar.info/
  22. Out of interest what software do you use, is it Calibre.?. although I'm not very technically minded I have just about worked out how to drive it..
  23. The List List #50 http://t.co/HDlKXPUDv4 via @@rebeccaschinsky

  24. I downloaded the Kindle freebie of War of The Worlds this week..I've never read it. The 50's film version gave me the heebie jeebies as a kid..just hearing that weird rattly noise the aliens made, even now, gives me the creeps.. The newer version does nothing for me..
  25. About to start 'Appetite' by Philip Kazan.. not out till May in the UK but I got lucky in a Waterstones Read and Review giveaway ..
