Harry Potter's adolescence

For film buffs

How dare they bump off Cedric! If any-one should've gone it was spotty himself. Do they really think spotty is going to keep his bug eyed cute whatever looks forever, already his nose is starting to buldge. Cedric could have easily taken on the role as a far beter looking teenager spotty.
Then again I am biased.

I cant help but think Cedric will return. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: meantime he is off to Bangkok for Easter.

Cedric

I think it's because he's outgrown (Hair in the wrong...'place') the chicken hawks--And is now in (stiff) competition with the 'under' classmen.

Edith I see you also went to boarding school. Hair in the right places you mean. I've only been out three years I should know.

School or the closet? Evelyn Waugh used to take people to lunch in crowded restaurants, get a table in the middle of the room, produce a huge ear trumpet and ask in a loud voice "Was there much sodomy at your school?" But then I guess you're too young to have heard of Evelyn Waugh

From Waugh's Diary for July 11, 1924
"Chris [Hollis] turned up in the morning and told me a good story.
Mr. Justice Phillimore was trying a sodomy case and brooded greatly whether his judgment had been right.
He went to consult [former Lord Chancellor] Birkenhead. 'Excuse me, my lord, but could you tell meтАФWhat do your think one ought to give a man who allows himself to be buggered?'
'Oh, 30s or ┬г2тАФanything you happen to have on you.'"

Another Waugh quote: "Impotence and sodomy are socially O.K. but birth control is flagrantly middle-class.''

'Oh, 30s or ┬г2тАФanything you happen to have on you.'

Dammit, I've been misquoting that story for years. I thought it was guineas

Of course I know who Evelyn Waugh was. Homintern do you think every-one under 30 cannot read? I am more familiar with Auberon Waugh, mostly from the countless dusty "Literary Reviews" stacked in our library shelves. Better than comics they are!

Ah yes, dear Auberon. He who named Pope John Paul I as Ringo I (whose successor naturally became Ringo II). No, I don't think everyone under 30 cannot read, but I understood your leisure pursuits (when not showering with Australian tennis players in their undies) consisted of watching reality television programmes. Then again, if the Literary Reviews are dusty, are they being read? "Our Library" - this was at Slough Comprehensive was it?

Yes even after I have spent ten days in Thailand Homintern still irritates. I never lived in Slough or went to school there, the furthest I ventured its way was to heathrow airport. The only connection I have with Britain is having lived in Kensington for four years and mostly only on school holidays, that and having some close though unmemorable English relatives from the decrepit home counties. As far as I am concerned and my passport tells me, I am European.

The "our" library is our library, not difficult to understand is it? The room where one keeps ones books. The literary reviews are dusty because I read em when I was in my early teens, since our family moved to this part of the world they no longer subscribe.

As far as television goes here, reality tv programs are about as good as it gets. Unless you want to count O.C and various job lots from Canada and New-Zealand.
