... but Bardem's baddie is anything but macho ... the first whiff of homoeroticism in a Bond fillum... and as I say, the movie's almost more about Dame JD's "M" and her... difficulties... than it is about Bond. I'd urge you to see it!

Crikey! Judi Dench as M is a lesbian?

No.... the two elements are not connected... (to borrow the argot of this thread) !

Oh, forgoodness sakes, Heart Face!! Do you think I am green as cabbage looking and just got off the boat? Can you not tell when one is teasing?

First off....Skyfall....one of the best, if not THE best Bond films. Everything done to perfection. Mrs RM reckoned it was the first Bond that she'd sat through and not been bored for one moment. Not because of mayhem but because it is, for once, a very intelligent Bond and beautifully directed. A real coup for Graham Norton to have all three main characters on his programme the night Skyfall opened. Bardem is superb. I enjoy his acting. No Country For Old Men springs to mind. Anyway, enough rambling.

W to link...these three, please.

Variations on Listen With Mother? A bit of a cake walk ?

Will try to drop in later but Saturday night is Chef RM.

just found out that the Golliwogg's Cakewalk quotes Tristan & Isolde

why didn't I know that already - probably not relevant

You were off your heart-face on Arbroath Smokies and dancing with St Vitus but an hour or so... thought I'd better make things absolutely clear!!

The Engagement is Off. Finished. I retain the ring. No more to say.

Are there 3 clues to the W or am I still asleep?

Spot on, mercs, a little deliberate cryptic misdirection on my part with Variations

and, yes, that was a clue in 27295 above !

[mercia]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask dumb questions

is the Listen with Mother element to do with the Dolly Suite berceuse ?
is the cake walk Debussy's of that ilk ?

sleep / beds / dreams / night-time .............

EDIT - I take it that what I said in #27290 was irrelevant
