No.I haven't seen the movie you mentioned.Which type of movie circuit was it released on?
My friends,the applicants should we say,are fine upstanding English gentlemen.I don't hold it against them that they would like to shoot the Royal Family.We have free speech.
They are both quite well to do and skilful with their hands.I rather think they won't take kindly to there being no servant's quarters though.
Do you still think scientists are nerds?

Sorry, that was an accidental post (good thing my tag is a question though!)
Why not?Semi nerdy is better than all nerdy.Anyway-it's a subjective judgement and,though I bow before it,I must reserve the right,wearing my scientific hat,to not quite grant it 100% credibility which is what science requires.I'll go 60%.
Is that confusing?

No, not confusing. Well, it's all in good humor, and since I don't know you, I really can't tell anyway. I just kid you.
Have you taken you bath already?

Just came back. Surf camp is a summer (day) camp for
kids where they learn how to surf (with a surfboard) in
the ocean.
Why couldn't you?

The relative proximity of our seperate locations in three dimensional space is such as to preclude any possibility of my having a drink on you.
Is surfing as good as it looks on the telly?

Don't be such a sissy - other people cope with seperate
location and three dimensional space just fine. You're just
a cheapskate.
Surfing is hard work. I couldn't even sit on the damn board,
never mind standing and riding the waves. But the kids
love it and they learn fast. Little Jane was frustrated the first
day but now she's really into it.
Do you participate (actively) in any sports?

That depends how you define sports.Some people think of sports in a different way than others.I think you mentioned the idea of a game yourself.
Don't you think that "sports" is a difficult word to define in view of the competitive aspect of it which is so stressed by media?

Agreed, "sports" is an umbrella definition for all sorts of
different activities, some competitive, and some for pure
recreational purposes. However I meant simple activities
to stretch your bones - like a workout or walking, running,
these kind of activities.
Do you?

I do.I often am to be found walking.Where we usually stand in the pub is a few yards from the bar where the beverages are served and we have to walk this distance in order to have our glasses refilled.And back again.I never run.English gentlemen don't run.As far as stretching my bones is concerned I find it distasteful even to type the phrase.
Is that the sort of thing you mean?

The famous english black humor is coming through.
Let's bypass sport then....
We've discussed vices before but you never said if
you have any and if yes, what kind?

No, not really. I would not last as long as you do, as I usually
go to bed before midnight. Sleep well, and let's hope,
tomorrow will be a better day for the world in general.

I'm in Eastern at the moment.
I've been wondering: who decides if I'm an enthusiast or what-not?
