Stewpot
Bullet Baxter would be in there somewhere. And Roland!

Don't mention Roland, or Ro-Land as I am often called... it's my nickname from some of my closest pals (for reasons far too complicated to go into here)... suffice to say the expression 'I want to help you, Ro-Land' will haunt me to my dying day from those buggers...   >:(

Cheers, mate!  Having met the four people who aren't me (albeit briefly in the latter two cases), I can confirm that they are fine people.  Good meeting yourself in Nottingham last December.  Heres to many more meets at many more gigs.  ;)

I will have to respectfully disagree. Connery's death scene in "the man who would be king" is given such power by by Michael Caine continuing to tearfully sing the song as Connery falls. The best death scene in "Wild geese" is given by the superb performance of Jack Watson, when only in the moment of death is he prepared to drop military protocol and call his officer Richard Burton by his first name as he screams "ALLLLLEN !!!".

Two of my favourite British films, the likes of which we will  never see again.
The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.

Five best museums - in  no particular order.

The Polish Army museum - Warsaw. A definitive example of how to display artifacts. Taking the visitor  around in chronological order with the history of the items on display. Everything clearly spaced out and easy to study. Even in the grounds of the museum, a unique display of tanks, artillery, and battle damaged pieces that would be the envy of any similar display.

The Residence Palace - Munich. Mind blowing artifacts from Europe's Royal past. A vast Palace the scale of which was a very pleasant surprise. Well worth a visit and would love to go again.

The Met- New York. - In line with the American ethos, big is best. A vast museum covering so many different areas the scale of which cannot fail to impress. The only museum I have visited where I did not have time to see all the I wanted.

The Black Country Living Museum - Dudley. A credit to the nation. With the U.K. boasting so many Palaces, Stately homes, Cathedrals, the envy of the World, it is nice to see such a well structured museum relating to the lives of average people. Very educational and entertaining. My only gripe, you do feel a sense of the artificial as you are aware buildings that are of historic importance have been up-rooted and re-built there, and the history of the place occurred elsewhere.   But, still much better than the building being lost.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum - The roll model in conservation.  Although alterations have had to be made to Auschwitz-1 to allow visitors and exhibits, the main area of Birkenau preserved with integrity. A problem for future generations as the remaining buildings were hastily thrown up by Russian P.O.W. inmates and will not last for ever unless restored in some way. External bracing now used on some buildings to stop them falling down.   
The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.

Top five ways to spend a bank holiday monday:

1 - Wake up at six am to yet more bloody snow;
2 - Accidentally buy another fishing rod;
3 - Decide that the fishing rod had better be given to the better half, as I did promise her one some time ago;
4 - Realise that the melt-water from aforementioned snow was flooding down the lane, so go and dig out 100 yards of drainage ditch, unblock a drain under the road, lift the manhole cover and scoop shedloads of rotting leaves and mud out of the hole before unblocking the pipes which were full of cack;
5 - Moan about it all on the internet.
