Can I get down now dad?

Tramps like us, baby we were born to code

I aim to kill you Keith, or see you hang.

I suddenly had the urge to have at my finger tips those films that are on all the time but you never watch. Stiff upper lip British war films and a jolly good western.

Here is my selection:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid
True Grit
Battle of the River Plate
The Cruel Sea
In which we serve
They dive at dawn.

Cheap as chips of course. They arrive on the weekend, and in anticipation I have been shouting “Rooster Cogburn” quotes at people. My favorite is:

“I mean to kill you in one minute, [insert name]. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience. Which’ll it be?”

Its then probably a good idea to put your mouse cable between your teeth and let off imaginary shots. Try it yourself at the water cooler at work, if nothing else it’ll kill time.
