Thanks, Rudy, and fraternal greetings. STH, you're right about Harold Kirk, of course, and the man's worth every penny I assume he gets. Interestingly, I used to select girls in exactly the same way. Where did it all go wrong ?
Yes, absolutely - there's nothing seductive/erotic whatever about watching girls trot. I must have watched a million films in a long and happily-wasted life, but the one cinematic image that has always stayed with me is Julie Christie sashaying up the High Street in Billy Liar. Like Harold says, it's all in the walk.
No I believe he took umbrage at losing a ride on one of Becket's and out of the blue threw in the towel rather than getting a review of his position with Becket. I like Becket and believe he must be a good and straight man to work for. He let him down by leaving in that way and he let himself down. Becket's website is always worth reading as he calls a spade a spade.
