Quote: chipolata @ December 14 2010, 10:15 AM GMTMy favourite song in Moulin Rouge is Roxanne, with all the tangoing and passion and jealousy. Very good.
Is that the one where the singer sounds like he's smoked 100 fags and is gargling with concrete?
Yep.
You know what pisses me off?
People who are as nice as pie when they're sober but really nasty bastards when they've had a drink.
Didn't Robert Louis Stevenson write about such types?
I know plenty of people who are well into drinking and, although they tend to become more vociferous after a few drinks, they don't suddenly fall down behind the sofa and immediately drag themselves up again, transformed into a hideous monster.
Good comedians and good writers are often at their best with a bottle close at hand. That's a good thing as long as it's helping but, if it's making you a bloody nuisance, it might be time to take more water with it.
For everybody's sake.

It's said that Frank Randle never went on stage sober.

An excellent example!
Randle was a fabulously talented comedian adored by the people yet continually banned, censored and reviled by the authorities.
I can't imagine how he must have felt.

My favourite too. Much better than the original.

I had an ex who was like that. It was really horrible.

That's fine.
It means you're not (necessarily) suffering from any mental disorder.
And at least other people know the score from the outset and know where they stand.
Carry on.

Not as bad as the font Times They Are A-Changin' - that's almost completely illegible.
I use Arial in the hope of becoming prosperous.
