I am new to this site, but not to being a fan of Alan Rickman.  I first fell under his spell as Hans in Die Hard.  He may have been a bad guy, but what a sexy one he was!!  My favorite, however, is his Brandon in Sense and Sensibility.  He is incredibly handsome and sexy and his character is the utmost as a British gentleman.  Also, that VOICE!  He could walk into a room with 20 screaming babies and speak and it would be quiet in 60 seconds.  He has the most calming and gentle voice I have ever heard.  AND for us grown women, the sexiest voice of all time.

Hey Vicki, how you doing, is your busy season over yet. I dont know how you wait until its delivered, hell, im out there at 0900 at the nearest Wal Mart to get my copy, watching it by 1000. Same with the HP's....

I def would buy it alone for the extra's but then again im an extra girl. There isnt a huge amount of Alan in the extra's except for what we already have seen but the other things like the ST Press Conference is absolutly halarious. I am a Johnny fan too so it was worth the money, ibought the double disc edition.

Oooh, Pam....post a photo of your delicious sounding cookies when you get a chance!  *getting my glass of milk ready*

Thanks for this amazing site ! Its good that we all who has the Rickman feaver can get together and share stuff and talk about the wonder that is Alan Rickman.

I'm a relative newcomer to the wonderfulness that is Alan Rickman, I'm enjoying your site!

Alfan, what a great idea! here it seems the most appreciated thing is playing fast; I think people have forgotten golf is supposed to teach relaxation, especially the younger generation.

Dumpy,,,,yah we do here. We not only fix our divit plus one, we also fix as many as we can before someone putts.....we actually in our golf club everyone who is a member is assigned a hole and the  ones who keep the best maintained golf green wins a prize at the end of the year......kinda cool......

I'm not being negative; I just forgot to get the film developed!
Hope you all had a bountiful Thanksgiving last Thursday!!

Alfan, when you play golf, do you use the "repair your divet, plus one other" courtesy rule?

So, you all, how about, support yourself, plus one other, in terms of helping the poor?  

Thanks for that, Vicki--very interesting indeed.  Looks like the mystery has been solved at last. 

Gosh, that is interesting Vicki.  Thanks.(Quickly returns to work and hopes no-one noticed she was using the computer for personal purposes!)

Yes, Anne I'm still addicted to Free Rice. I love 'ridley' which is a sea turtle and 'cenacle' - a small dining room - so obscure!!  ..but fun when you know them.

Big Challenge (ignore this if you don't have a lot of time, I've been looking for months):

On  public TV, I saw "Sister Wendy" showing a sketch of a man and woman embracing (nude), but I cannot remember the title.

I have a piece of sticky paper, with a marble print on it, and part of it, looks remarkably like that sketch! just recently I learned Sister Wendy is a self-taught art critic from Britain (?)...surely someone else saw that sketch.

Once I visisted Dee's site and told her about it on her guestbook, but I can't find the guestbook anymore. I don't think she comes in here, anyway,
But --- I would be absolutely amazed if someone can find that sketch, it would be really amusing if that sketch appeared by conincidence on my decorative marble paper!! 

Hope we are never forced in any way to vote; neither by social pressure, law, insistence of criminals, etc.

I say, if you don't like any of the candidates, you don't have to vote.

With forced voting,  if all the candidates were corrupt, you would be forced to vote for someone you don't want in office.

Voting must always be voluntary.

 Peace

Thanks Maori. That clears it up for me. Same system here then. I've always tried to follow the political scene here but this fall I decided to get more involved. I always vote but I figured if I was going to complain about anything I should get involved in some way no matter how small. There's a lot more ito it than I realized but I found it informative and interesting.

Rima Horton was not a Member of Parliament. She was a local Coucillor in a London borough.

Thanks for your reply, Semper. I thought it had to do with Alan Rickman and why he looks so well rested lately, as discussed today on the ARDH GB, I was way off!

Nowadays, with the media, politicians do become quite well known and can even get fans, too. I thought maybe she had a fan following because she was once in theater, for example. Wonder if she'll ever go back to acting?

Dumpy, "MP" would be 'Member of Parliament'.  We also have a similar Parliamentary system in Canada. Here an MP is someone who is  elected to represent your district or 'riding' in the federal government. Does anyone know how long Ms. Horton served as an MP and what her constituency was?

OPENCLOSED

What's an "MP", please?

BTW Vicki, how's your Mom?
