Good morning/afternoon/evening/Lord, why are you up at this hour

I've newly arrived here, but have been taking up space for years everywhere else.

I'm happy to be here, and hope some of you aren't too saddened by this development.

Please, call me 'Ian', and it's your round isn't it?

Oh no, that's it: the end is nigh. Ian is here.

A monosyllabically disastrous arrival.

Hi, Ian. The film THE MIST sucks.

This is a personality test - give your opinions on The Mist and Donnie darko.

This will be a deciding factor in how well you are liked.

Zed: I thank you, sir.

Weber_gregston: No, that's IAMS. As opposed to anything I own, which is "I.A.M.'s"

Gary_fry: I'll try to keep things simple so you can keep up. Mayhaps the drooling McMahon could help?

Stephenw: Thank you.

Allybird: My goodness, how stimulating!

Craig: That's easy for you to say... But why, pray tell, are you saying it at all?

AH! Thank goodness Weber_gregston is explaining the reason behind The Mist being referred to.

I've not see either it nor Donny Darko. What do you think if me so far?

…I wonder why I'm using so much Morcambe & Wise today?

I think you need to avail yourself of both movies named and watch them forthwith and then let us know your thoughts.

Till then dear sir you will maintain a status slightly higher than pariah.

Now go and seek out those cinematic features for your viewing edification immediately.

If you want a nap, I'm sure Craig would be willing to discuss his template theory of films. That's guaranteed to get the old eyelids drooping.

Hi Ian - I think we've met elsewhere too. Tell you what, I'll do better than Ally and send you two of these ..

.. but only if you agree with me that Donnie Darko is the best film ever in recent years (haven't seen The Mist, personally).

No one ever asked me about 'The Mist' (haven't seen it but like what I've heard) or 'Donnie Darko' (sort of okay but overrated)!!??

So what does that make me Weber? I shudder to think...

Unless you love Donnie darko unreservedly you are pariah status or worse.

Weber, YOU love Donnie Darko? I thought you hated it! Or is that Craig? I get you two mixed up in my head (or you two mix up my head - not sure which).

Indeed yes, I thank all people for their greetings, kisses, and occasional pinches of my bottom (next time keep your hands to yourself, McMahon).

I've decided to dedicate the rest of my life to following John Travis and the Baron of Bristol (Probert) where e'er they go, in Real Life and on-line. Hence, here we all are.

Thank you everyone again, except for Noimis, who would probably want me to tell him to get stuffed. He's married now, too… whatever with Zed do?
