Well if you read back my posts you will see for yourself that I never said that. I don't torture my friends this way...Calling them names they don't like. Pfff... :rofl:
And since you are one of my friends , believe me I would never call you this way , whether it would please you or not. I'd hate to see you climbing on such a high horse buddy !
So dream on Paul...

Yep I posted that with good intention. I thought it was relatively mild, but I will stick to knock knock jokes for the future. By the way, it wouldn't please me at all. I'm comfortable with my attributes. This was never meant to be taken as an egotistical comment, but if it has been construed that way, then so be it. Won't lose any sleep over it

Today we got 5 brilliant movies, every one of this 5 is brilliant in its own way and genre.. I love Nolan and he is my favourite director, and Interstellar was good, V for Vendetta is one of my fave movies that has such a strong message.. Life is Beautifull is a teardropper with such powerfull scenes as well.. but if I had to choose I for only one I would go with this pure brilliance called "Dead Poets Society": WHAT A MOVIE! People die, legends live forever. R.I.P Robin Williams
