Been pondering this for a week or so and either can't even stretch my mind back further than the last few weeks or the last book/tv show/film and everything else I thought of the OH reminded me didn't actually come from 2007! (I've just been watching season 1 of the wire so I'm a bit behind things..). Anyway have a good one and wishing you all the best for the new year - see you in 2008!<BR/><BR/>NM xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23571956.post-6486545102331173082007-12-22T02:09:00.000+00:002007-12-22T02:09:00.000+00:00Cultural review?

I did feel that after years of being on his side and being charmed by him, that the final series did unglamourise things somewhat and start to show him as less sympathetic.<BR/><BR/>I really hope they don't make a film though - I definitely feel it should be finished with and any attempt to bring it back will sully the memory.SandDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799646379550700816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23571956.post-29041715242815717522007-12-18T14:19:00.000+00:002007-12-18T14:19:00.000+00:00Ah...did you get to the final episode of 'The Sopr...Ah...did you get to the final episode of 'The Sopranos'?
