Hi Scremin
Greedy with love?? [inlove][inlove] …NOW you’re talking my language!! On the surface, we’re all hard-nosed capitalists; deep down, we’re just a bunch of love-hungry softies who drool over all this smaltz.
My wife and I recently spent a bunch of Sundays watching all the episodes of “Pride and Prejudice” with Mr Darcy. Then we moved straight onto “Bridget Jones’ Diary 1 & 2” with Mr Darcy again (no horse or tophat this time, but LOVE those sideburns) and that dastardly Hugh Grant. Schmaltz, schmaltz, even more schmaltz. We just love it! ][inlove][inlove][inlove]
Cheers
Greg
PS: Our family’s best movie of all time is “The Princess Bride” about “True Love”, monsters, swordfights and that CLASSIC line delivered to the dastardly 6-fingered man: “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you kill my father, prepare to die!!!”Greg,
SNAP! That is SO my favourite movie of all time too. I just love Andre the Giant, not to mention Billy Crystal and the whole “to blaive, which means to bluff” to which his wife the witch replies “lyer!” and chases him around the house. [biggrin]
That is one of the best feel-good movies of all time! Seriously!!
Richmond, I’ve got to add my congratulations here too. Enjoy! My wife and I were married in January this year and are counting down to our first anniversary too. We’re just about to head back to the Whitsundays for a Honeymoon MkII. The first one was so much fun, we figured we just had to do it again. [biggrin]
I’m a bit of a fan of Steven Covey, and his “principle-centredness”. I believe I am a principled person and I “invest” more time in my family and friends than I ever do in making the cold hard stuff.
Steph, I love the point about how much worse you’d be without your partner. That one keeps me smiling too. No matter how big the argument, we always kiss and make up. [blush2]
Merry Christmas all you beautiful people,
Michael.[xmas]

You like Andre the Giant too? Here’s some more of his classic lines, just to reminisce:
Quote 1:
Visini: “No more rhymes now, I mean it!”
Andre: “Anybody wanna peanut?”Quote 2:
Andre: “How do you want me to kill the man in Black?”
Visini: “Kill him your way!”
Andre: “My way, which way is my way?”
Visini: “Pick up that rock, and when the Man in Black’s HEAD comes around that boulder, HIT IT WITH THE ROCK!”
Andre: “This is my way? I do not think my way is very gentlemanly.”And so the laughs go, onward and upward. Whatever became of Andre the Lovable Giant? Does anyone know?
Cheers

Poor ol’ Andre the Giant has been laid to rest…
His giantism got too much for his heart. Poor ol thing…I love the Princess Bride too. I used to think Carey Elwes was soooooooo dashing!!! Mr Darcy does it for me too! Not for Hubby though… He hates those sorts of movies… Sigh…
Michael! Yay yay yay!! [inlove][inlove]
Congratulations to you too!!! Cremin and I were married on the 12 January and were thinking of going back down to Margaret River for second honeymoon, but then we bought another property… Ho hum… mmm thinking about all that lucious wine… Yum… Oh well, we’ll just have to celebrate with some bottles from the bottlo from up here… Sigh…Success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

Hi Scremin
That’s so, so sad about Andre the Giant. [confused2][confused2]
Thanks for going to the trouble to let us all know about his passing. I was wondering why I hadn’t seen him in any more movies; he’ll be sadly missed.
Do you happen to know the names of any other movies he was in?
Cheers
GregHi Guys and Gals,
Well I am shocked and dissapointed with the whole lot of you (just kidding) because two weeks ago Peter Costello our esteemed treasure clearly said to ever Australian.

Phil ( Mike 16 years married just past [withstupid])
Hi Guys,
Phil, spare lovin? You’re a naughty, naughty boy… And thanks for the offer of a round of golf. I’ll check with the Captain (wife, who else) and see whether she’ll allow me to squeeze a round in to our schedule. It would be awesome to catch up for a social game whilst I was in the hood!
Steph, thanks so much for the congrats! One year is a big deal to us as its been a long time coming. We were dating for 10 years before we bit the bullet. [blush2] But now we’re stoked and just loving life and each other. For all you procrastinators out there, just do it! Seriously!! And, Steph, congratulations to you and hubby too! Feels great doesn’t it? [biggrin] We were married on the 24th January so only a few days different to you.
Greg, yeah I knew Andre had passed away. Very sad indeed, he was a nice guy. He used to be a professional wrestler in the WWF, but I’m sure you knew that too. (PS I love that “Anybody wanna peanut” quote. It still made me laugh to read it and remember the scene, thanks…)
Catcha,
Michael.
