    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

    I am not a number, I am a free man.

        She could certainly give a resounding performance (by all accounts, that is).

              I am incapable of being straight-jacketed, Salymap, even though it's your game (sorry, thread...). However, I've just realised that I was 10 when the Profumo affair broke! I can recall it quite clearly, though!

                  [... for Pedants' Thread : I think the jackets are strait (ie narrow) rather than straight (ie not curvy) ]

                    Strait is the Gate. I recall having to do Camus for A level (hated it!).

                        Aaargh!... (goes for his pistol, only to realise he hasn't got one)

                        [It shows you just how unforgettable I found Andre Gide!]
