On a personal level, 'Shakes the Clown' deserves a mention. Any film based on the premise of a war between mimes and clowns deserves a mention. | | Television | Currently, the 'How much can I get for my s*** house', 'I'd like to sell up and live in Spain with silver haired lotharios playing golf', 'Hey, help me cook a 5 course meal for my irritating middle class friends without using salt' and 'Watch as the police beat the c*** out of this young t*** after a 20 mile high speed chase' seem to be quite popular. Consequently, we're enjoying the thrill of old school games, Operation is a classic. | | Books | Now this one means a lot so we have to get this right ... | | Heroes | I personally think Tom Waits should walk the title but there's argument as to whether Andre the Giant should be there too. Evel Knievel is getting a few votes but I think the guy who ran the world with ony one leg should shade it. |
