I've seen Helena Bonham-Carter in the flesh and she is indeed very beautiful. Bloody scruffy, but beautiful.

She reminds me of Russell Brand.

Well, in Planet of the Apes, I'd have done the Funky Gibbon with her.

And Toyah Wilcox.

As long as we meet on my side of the bridge. I'm not paying the toll to get back after my duelling success.

Or we could do it the traditional Welsh way. Actually in the Severn. Coracle to coracle, hurling sheep at each other.

Yes, a cunning Druid ruse that, having to pay to get into Wales, but free to enter England.

I thought the traditional Welsh way of fighting was to have a punch-up at 9.30pm outside a Cardiff fish and chip shop, after too much Malibu ("the taste of the tropics, look you").

Insult of insults! (To Miss Bonham-Carter.)

I am merely the Leonard Bass to her Helen Schlagel. (Howard's End BTW, he gets some off her...)

Or to be slightly more accurate, in the words of the poet:

Two lands at last connected
Across the waters wide,
And all the tolls collected
On the English side.

Well, I haven't been to Wales for a while, so the system may have changed. Plus, with that bloody Severn crossing now...

Or as one critic at the time of publication of the book asked how he got her pregnant "with the umbrella?".

So that's where the title Howard's End comes from, eh? :O

I have to read this book for uni...

Umbrella pregnancies, eh..?

On the old bridge it's English side. On the new, it's in Wales. But either way, you pay coming in. So you're both right.

DD, did the umbrella end up on Jeremy Kyle's show, doing a paternity test?

Quote: Griff @ July 4 2009, 2:40 PM BST

You've got your stereotyping wrong, I think you mean "look you".

Thanks, Griff, have changed it. It's important to be accurate when it comes to petty racism. :)

Cardiff At Night.

I like the fact that this person has made a point of copyrighting these images, just in case someone wants to use them in a retrospective at the Tate Modern.

There's a picture in there of my ex - she told me she'd found a better man than me. Gutting to see she wasn't lying. I blame it on not being able to grow a moustache like his.

At least your penis is made of wood, that's one step closer to the real thing.

The blow-up man's face really does... well... look Welsh. Strange town. A blow-up man alongside two guys involved in a asphyxiation fetish.

Yeah but I can't go too fast in case I start a fire.

That's what it says on his passport.

A real danger as things are probably tinder-dry down there, as well?
