ReplyDeleteGee thanks pal... The George Harrison quote is quite a well known one. When challenging people who believe in pixies on paranormal sites, I was always quoting Smith. Being a film and detective buff, Chandler was easy. I knew Stein and Alice due to my bog standard 60's 70's education.
I completely missed the bit about the highlights though... instructions were never my strong point!!!
Hookie.
Neither could I Welshcakes. But I haven't been very good at any of them ;-)
