I asked him if he was at least satisfied in knowing, even though the information was not what he had expected.

We also liked The Young Ones about a group of students, it was very cutting edge and anarchic - I guess it appealed to young people back then, when we all thought we were invincible :P

They stood uneasily, without any certainty, in the large lovely entrance hall, and watched Mrs. Halloran go into the right wing of the house to let Mr. Halloran know that Lionel's last rites had gone off without melodrama. Young Mrs. Halloran, looking after her mother-in-law, said without hope, "Maybe she will drop dead on the doorstep. Fancy dear, would you like to see Granny drop dead on the doorstep?" "Yes, mother." less

And I wanted to run in and save the bleeding guy being sat on and punched hard repeatedly.No doubt, though, that every guy I saw seemed to be in great physical shape.This image represents well what I saw.
