Theatre of Cruelty (George, Emma)

I must admit that I've got to hand it to you, your dead right. I'm a sucker for a bad guy - only in films though! There is one thing about the cowboy, who is dressed in black. He always turns out to be bad. I love watching thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat and it's the nice girls that go for the rogues. Though, I could never see the attraction of 'the Duke', or better known as John Wayne, when I was younger I used to laugh at the catch phrases he used and his swagger (Born Marion Robert Morrison, pictured on the right when he was young courtesy of Google Images).

'Bandits and Outlaws'

This is an interesting topic for me, as I am fasinated with the old black and white films of gansters such as Al Capone, who I believe one of his 'rackets' was a numbers game, a form of today's lottery. This was one of many stories told by my father who was born in 1929, just around the time Al Capone was convicted and jailed. It is ironic that Al Capone could only be convicted for tax evasion and then only after his associates 'grassed'. Refernce: Al Capone (no date) History [online].

Comment on: Sam's Weblog (Clare, Samuel)

I have agreed with everything that you have said. Have you thought of a destination for the field trip, I am thinking of London? You explained a scene in American Pie, which I'll have to see. I must admit the thought of those films really didn't grab me, I thought they were along the lines of the 'Police Acadamy' films? I just can't cope with slap stick comedy.

'Infidelity'

Speaking from personal experience, being a divorced woman, disgruntled at thought of putting 'a bloke' before anything and everything. One might say I took a very philosophical view when I found on two separate occasions that my husband was unfaithful. In the first instance he openly admitted to me, very early in our marriage the first, which he attempted to dismiss as merely as an indiscretion. However the second, I was suspicious of my sister-in-law... I was right. Well, to cut along story short, in ended very messily, with him trying to push me over a banister on the third floor where we lived. I started divorce proceedings while were still together and when I asked him to sign the divorce papers, he broke up a £400 solid gold watch I had brought as a previous present. He has gone home to Mommy, with tail between his legs and bankrupt! It's peculiar how he told his parents that he went home with just he clothes he was standing in, when I'd smartly packed his suitcase and a flask. He later divulged this to me a when I invited him to dinner and explained how his best mate had confirmed how my ex had bragged to him about the affair. I can categorically state that revenge IS best served cold! So listen fellas, beware!
