showing HP and the sorcerers stone. Next Saturday night at 8 along with the
showing of HP and the chamber of secrets (with 10 minutes of added scenes they
said) there will be a sneek peak of HP and the Goblet of Fire..

Just watched "Finding Neverland". Lovely film, with
plenty of tissues required! I've
been inspired to search the net to find out how accurate a portrayal it was.
There are also a couple of links in it to AABA - and you'll get them as soon as
you see, or hear them. Johnny Depp is nowhere near to AR in my estimation but I
do have a soft spot for him and he can really do accents. I enjoyed his
performance in this and I can also see why that lad Freddie won that award (was
it Emmy or Empire?) Ah well, off to bed - have to be up early!

Oooh, I bet soupdupcosmogrl was beside herself about

we went to Scarborough, up to Whitby, down to Pickering, over to Thrisk, then
through the Dales Park to Kendal, up through Bowness to Cockermouth, over to
Carlisle then up to Edinburgh. Not exactly the direct route - or the
widest, but well worth the time and tension. I really loved the Yorkshire
Dales, but being New England born and raised, I have a thing for stone walls.

Nice report from Wawa but I don't think I could take my kids out of school to
travel 10 hours just to try and catch a glimpse of the man. He's got that kind
of "pull" though. I agree with Claudia, Dee. Save your trip for the premiere. At

Sue, I'm just a little worried that people think I was being horrible when I
wished you "hippo-bird-dog" for your birthday. I'm afraid it's my twisted sense
of humour. It comes from a birthday card I once saw in a shop (you know, you
stand there browsing and laughing like an idiot at some of them!) There was a
picture of a hippo, then a bird, then a - you guessed it - dog. Meant to
represent "Happy Birthday". Well it probably looked funnier on the card! So
sorry if I caused you, or anyone else here, any grief! Have a Colonel as a

Thanks to all for your reviews of Hitchhiker's..... I can't

of course, The Voice!
Thanks for the AR sighting, martha. Quite an amazing story. I do
have a little bit of a hard time with taking the kids out of school and driving
10 hours but to each their own, I suppose. I
had a good laugh at myself for my reaction when I read "Ass. Director". I
was quite appalled at first but then I thought surely I didn't read that right
and sure enough, I didn't.
Dee, I know you are feeling badly for not going to Wawa, but honestly, IMO, you
did the right thing in putting it off. I'm still hoping you will get to go
to the premiere (which I feel will be in Toronto). That's when you will
have a good time.

Ali-Pat: I totally agree with you about Bill Nighy! I absolutely loved his

Yes, Claudia will love the opening sequence, and she probably won't be able to
get that darn song out of her head after the movie. My husband and I were
humming it for hours. 
I think that if you love the books, you'll enjoy the movie. But if you
haven't read any of the books, you might have some problems with Douglas Adams'
type of humor. Unfortunately, my husband thought it was the most boring
movie he'd seen in years. He did get a kick out of Marvin though.

Julie - tell your daughter I think David Thewlis is pretty darn cute too! 
Sharen and Elaine -- yes, yes! Suet - that was it..sorry for the incorrect
spelling. O.K...so, basically it's fat, used to make a crust, is that
correct? I hear tales of many cooks who used to bake pie crusts with
lard....same concept, I suppose.
Not on the list for a low cholesterol diet, I'd wager.
Then vegetarian suet would be something like shortening - made with vegetable
oil? So, the suet mix I saw advertised must have been like a pre-mixed
flour/dehydrated suet to make the crust. Maybe something like a biscuit
mix that we have here. The jell-o mold shape was probably more of a bowl
shape (funny how the memory can change things around). 
That was a great story from the Mom and kids at the Chinese restaurant in Wawa.

This was
posted a week ago at TPPM but nobody seems to have put it here. So... here
it is:
"Thought you guys might be interested in this AR sighting that was posted on
another list I belong to:
Flora of Lallybroch’s AR Sighting
My
kids wouldn't let me go and find "Professor Snape" without them so I
recruited my friend to be copilot, took the kids out of school for a few days
and headed to Wawa. The trip took about 10 hours (we went through Michigan).
Wawa is a town of about 3500 on the TransCanada Hwy in NW Ontario - home of the
giant Goose if anyone's travelled that way. We arrived in town about 7pm and
drove about looking for a motel. We knew the cast and crew had taken over the
"nice" motel but there was no "no vacancy" up so my friend volunteered to fake
like she'd never heard of "Snowcake the Movie" and go in to try and get us a
room and thus glean some info from the clerk. As we just pull into the parking
lot I spot AR about 100 yards away just casually walking by himself towards the
motel office. My friend scoots after him but unfortunately he is through the
lobby by the time she gets there. We get a room in another motel, go out for a
meal, and discover they are going to be filming on the main street the next
day. Next morning we get up and walk up and down the main street checking
things out. It was really neat seeing them getting the film set all ready,
gathering the fake snow (since it's supposed to be winter in the movie and
Wawa was pretty warm) etc. We pick ourselves a close-by bench and settle in
to watch. By lunchtime the kids are getting a little restless and we all have
to pee so we notice a chinese restaurant that is right next door the fake
storefront that they are going to be filming at so we decide to go there and
have some lunch. There are only two other people in the restaurant. We sit
right in the front window and open the blinds. *g* The other people ask who this
AR is...would we be able to point him out..."No Problem" I say! Sure enough,
shortly he is driven up in a van and gets out right across the street. We're
going nuts. Then he walks across the street and stands right on the other side
of the window. The Ass. Dir. comes into the restaurant and says
long-sufferingly "You're welcome to stay here but you're ruining our shot. You
have to sit and look like you're eating food not staring out the window." So
just like that - we're in the movie!! We had the terrible hardship of sitting
for an hour or two being served lunch and beer with complete access to a
bathroom while Alan Rickman walked repeatedly within a foot of us - doing the
scene over and over again. At one point he took a wee rest and stretched his
hamstrings on the bench just beside our window. The kids waved at him and he
smiled this absolutely dazzling smile and waved back. He was absolutely gorgeous
in real life....much more handsome than he appears on film. And it appears I was
right about him being the sexiest thing on two legs. *BG* I was drooling all
over the booth and that smile just about killed me! Unfortunately, we didn't get
to talk to him or get an autograph as he was being whisked in and out just long
enough to do his scenes. Sigourney Weaver, who is the other star, was hanging
out on the street and talking to everyone. We were smiling and interacting
with her but a little too focused on AR to realize we're hanging out with
this Oscar nominee. We forgot she'd been in Ghostbusters (my brain had pretty
much imploded after the hamstring stretches) otherwise we could have had a
great time peppering the air with quotes. *VBG* After that we headed for
home. After all "We came, we saw, we kicked some ASS!" hehehe - couldn't help
myself after all. *g* Anyway, that was our big adventure. Sorry it's so long
but I'm still babbling days later."

I got the google alert also about the Rachel Corrie venue change in Oct.
What is the difference between Jerwood upstairs and downstairs? the size
maybe? I'll never
forget the time I was just out of school (the first time )
and I was making mince pies from scratch for Christmas dinner because my dad and
grandfather loved them. In my naivete I had no idea what suet was!
The butcher gave me a crash course! The pies were great--with brandied hard
sauce--even I had a piece and I am not a fan of mince pie.
Wonder if I dare think about a quick trip to London in October? (It's getting to
be my home away from home).
Seat filler--I had no idea they had to recruit people to fill seats--where do
you get that job??? Glad to know AR is getting out and enjoying Toronto,
I've heard it is a beautiful city. Elaine, I'm with you, I too hope Rima
can get over and enjoy some things with him. Must get lonesome sometimes
even if you are working to live out of a hotel and be away from home for that
long a period of time.

Vicki and Sharon, sounds very much like Suet. You can get beef suet or
vegetarian suet (which is what we use). Makes divine steak and kidney puddings
(known throughout the Army as "baby's heads") and steamed puddings, my favourite
being "spotted dick".(With lots of custard!) I can't think of an alternative
that you might have in the US. And I don't really know what American voices mean
in ads. We have quite a few US voiced ads as well. I suppose they are often the
"film-trailer" type - deep voice that sounds like a 40 a day man. Lends a bit of
"hollywood" to it I suppose. I love the look on AR's
face in that pic. Seat filler? Can I have that job please?
And all you Canadians, get out there and see what you can see! Hope
Rima is there to share the experience with him.
And something I've been wondering about, will AR have his postal vote in? Or is
he going to be one of the rumoured many Labour supporters who are not going to
vote because of their opposition to the War in Iraq? Curious....

Sharen, I noticed the American accent in the Marmite ad and thought it a bit
strange.
Emily has been terribly busy lately so she sent me these two little tid bits to
post: I did a little AR searching
yesterday and found a snippet from a Canadian website "Jam Movies" reporting
an AR sighting at a play in Toronto --
"... Alan Rickman -- who's here co-starring
in the offbeat romance Snow Cake with Sigourney Weaver -- was in the opening
night crowd of Alice's Affair at Tarragon Theatre Tuesday ..."
YAY!!! At least we know he's getting out while in Toronto!
I hope we will get some more news......and some piccies too!
A friend of Emily's found
this pic:
It came from
famshots.com and its not certain what this woman has to do with the
Emmys but she attended both last year and the year before. Click on
"T's new Friends....." and you will see pics of her with all kinds of stars.
Anyway, Em and friend speculate that maybe she's a seat filler or works for
one of the television studios. Interesting look on AR's face though.

Is
it curious that the narrator of the 2nd Marmite commercial had an American
accent? Or is that typical in UK ads?
In US ads, British voices usually indicate (to me, anyway) that this info is for
our edification and it behooves us to pay attention. (I know I always pay close
attention whenever our favorite Brit speaks. )
But what does an American voice connote to a British listener?

Thanks for the marmite/vegemite lesson. Many, many years ago, I took a
trip to England and saw an ad on the telly for Suit Mix?!?! Could
someone please explain what that is? I hope I spelled it right. The
ad showed a mum bringing a platter of something to the table that looked like it
had been made in a jello-mold or a bundt cake pan. The family, of course,
were licking their lips in anticipation and couldn't wait to dig in. To
this day, I still scratch my head in wonder at what this could possibly be.

the property to give her some creedence for doing that. I think it is rented
-(imagine her being your landlord!) - and she probably has no need to sell it

kathy and Dee, which little boy in the nativity picture is AR has been a mystery
to everyone. I've always thought it was the little boy to "Mary's"
right. At the risk of pestering poor Melanie Parker again...maybe the person
that wrote and asked her about the picture of AR standing at the microphone
might try again.
Violet and SeverinaSnape. You can take this anyway you wish but I have been told
by a very reliable source that AR and RH are indeed living together once again.
My source is not his assistant. I don't feel Ms Parker would disclose any of
AR's private details to anyone--no matter how close they profess to be to her.
But I do agree that any assistant that would give out such details should be
sacked. I, like
the two of you, do not know and will not ever know for sure unless AR or RH
publicly announce the fact--which will probably never happen. But I do
trust my source as you do yours so feel free to disagree with me on this subject
all you want but this will be all I will say on the subject.

Hi Violet and Dee!
Violet, I have been told pretty much the same thing as yourself from someone who
knows them both who was helping me with a project I am trying to get up and
running. He definately knows them - and proved to me that he does several times
without me even asking - I am such a cynic. Of course you cant know everything
about people's private lives - but his take is the same - as far as he is still
aware they do live separately. RH still supposedly has a place in a certain Ward
in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and AR of course lives very
near Paddington Station. I'm still bad with kilometres and such -
but they are about a mile + in distance apart I think...
I've had a couple of people insist to me that his assistant apparently has let
them know that RH and AR moved back in together when they have written to her -
Right...I'd say he'd be in need of a new assistant if that is true!
Such private details I usually dont get into - but as you have pretty much the
same information that I have been given I just thought I would let you know. I
quite like the idea of separate residences; you can go off and do your own thing
as necessary and just meet up when you feel the need. For me loving someone from
a distance is definately different and probably preferable to having them under
the same roof (that's my theory going through my divorce and I am sticking with
it...) Dee: Some of
the location shots for Hogwarts are in Gloucester Cathedral - particularly
the cloisters - althought interior and exterior shots have been done all over
the country

Hi, Dee! I always enjoy your postings. You are such fun.
BTW, re: your question about Rima and Alan living in separate residences, I have
a gentleman friend in London who told me that, as far as he knows, they still
live in separate residences, about two or so kilometers apart. I don't
talk with this gentleman very often (he's in his 60's and retired), so I don't
know his source, other than he lives in that area. Sigh...yes, some people
don't only live on the same planet as AR, but in the same part of town...sigh

Elaine, the Marmite commericals are cute. I do wonder one thing though.
When I first clicked on the ad, it asked if I was in the UK. Of course I
clicked "Yes" out of sheer wishing I were! LOL But....I wondered
what would happen if I clicked "No" so I tried it. Here's what I got:
"Sorry, to view this ad you need to be resident in the UK."
Hmmm, makes me wonder why.....
I have to admit that I don't think I did try my Marmite packets as per SuzyQ's
instructions. She told me to spread it very thin and on hot butter toast.
I know I must have done something wrong. Oh well...

Home at last!
And what a wonderful trip it was. Five days in London, then a week touring the
countryside. Took me almost as long to catch up with
the reading here!
It was too bad that AR wasn’t at the after play talk, (I don’t think the topic
would have digressed to other subjects – after all, people stayed on topic at
the NFT, so I’m sure they would have here. ) but it was certainly not a “wasted”
trip. The play was stunning. Megan Dodds did an awesome job, portraying Rachel’s
shifting feelings from idealism, to outrage, to doubt, to fear and back with
flawless skill. The time flew by. I even managed to forget that I was on the top
floor of an ancient building in a packed room whose only exit was down a narrow
flight of wooden stairs, the door to which was half blocked by a shoved aside
stage prop. But I digress. There isn’t much to add to the reviews that have
already been posted. I agree with Bunks that Rachel was driven by the injustice
of the situation and would have been there had the nationalities/political
parties been reversed. The feeling I got was that she, and the play, were
anti-injustice, not anti- any particular group. I would love to have heard AR’s
answer to how the material was picked for the play.
It was wonderful meeting up with Sue again, and raising a glass with her,
Elaine, Juliet, and Nicole. (And Juliet brought ALL her Bowness pics to share!)
Kate and I went to see Henry IV with Michael Gambon and David Bradley. It was my
first experience seeing Shakespeare done “right” by people who really know how,
and is something I’ll not soon forget. DB was King Henry and MG was Falstaff. I
don’t think it was my imagination that the first time MG called, “Harry!” that
there were a few quiet snorts in the crowd.
After Kate had to leave, Bunks and I picked up a car and headed north. With her
flawless navigational skills, we managed to cover a lot of territory. Not nearly
enough time to explore, but I got enough of a look to know I’d like to come
back. Elaine – I
LOVE round-abouts! If you’re not sure where to go, you just keep going ‘round
until you figure it out. And if you do go the wrong way, why before you know it,
there’s another one and you can reverse direction.
I did hear a lot of, “Mind the curb” the first few days as the hardest part was
getting used to the bulk of the car being on my left. The best(?) time was in
the Cotswolds when it was, “Mind the house!”
We saw Stonehenge, York, Edinburg, the Yorkshire Dales, the Cotswolds, standing
stones, soaring eagles, ruined abbeys and much more. We walked the halls of
Hogwarts and took pictures of the lake. (No giant squid, thank goodness.)
Everywhere we went, the people were wonderful. I hope someday to go back.

It's Australian and milder in taste than Marmite. I must admit, Marmite (yes,

Zooey Deschanel on Marvin the Robot's Voice:
Zooey Deschanel did not hear Alan Rickman on the set. “I had no idea he was even
in the movie until I saw it,” she said. “Warwick was in the suit and who's a
really good actor and did a fantastic job of physicality of the character. You
can't forget Warwick's contribution to that character although Alan Rickman did
a fantastic voice and is a great actor. Now I can go up to Alan Rickman and say
we worked together. You don't know it, but…”

that way the jar lasts forever )

I have just returned from town and a trip to Waterstones (for some reason there
are TWO branches in the same town quite close to each other!)In the window they
had a HHG2G spread with some rather nice bookmarks laid out including a Marvin
one. As I was purchasing a book I noticed a poster saying "Free Bookmark when
you buy HHG2G" "Oh" I said to the guy "Shame I wanted a Marvin, oh well never
mind" As I handed
over the cash he surreptiously opened the drawer under the till and very
sneakily snuck one into my bag!!LOL "Shh" he said
"we probably won't sell many books and will have to end up giving them away
anyway!"

THEATRELAND BUZZES "The acclaim that greeted the

success in a long run of remarkable West End productions, such as Don Carlos at
the Gielgud, which closes on Saturday, Julius Caesar at the Barbican which is
sold out, My Name is Rachel Corrie at the Royal Court - a dramatised version of
emails from a courageous young woman who died trying to defend Palestinian homes
from Israeli bulldozers - and a plethora of other impressive plays. By
comparison Broadway, witch is hosting a series of unremarkable musicals seems
lacklustre. Whatever challenges the West End faces from the congestion charge
and the rest, this is a wonderful time for London's theatregoers."

I have to disagree with you there Dee!! Shoe
shopping has always been for me something I would avoid at all costs. As a teen
in the 60/70s I had an awful time trying to get shoes. All I wanted was the
chunky trendy look but having a then size 8 AAA fitting if I was offered
anything at all it was some awful black pointy court shoe that I wouldn't have
been seen dead in even if my mother could have afforded it. I recall trailing
round London looking for obscure shops that sold *big* shoes.
In old age my weight seems to have widened my feet a little and
manufacturers have gradually realised that some people have feet bigger than 7!
I have actually been able to buy *cheap* shoes from M&S now but no shoe shopping
is not a pleasaant memory

Hello everyone---- Back home for

Next to the last day of school. It has gone by so fast. Finals will

I DID get a ticket for the AR interview and was able to rearrange my B & B
booking to earlier, so I am all set for MY big adventure. I also booked a
ticket for the 2nd interview with a sculptor who went to Chelsea also.
What better combination than AR and art. I will definitely report back!
I am also looking forward to some fun with the wild women on this GB!!
AABA is one of my favorites and as I have found with a number of his films it
gets better and more meaningful with further watchings--DH is another one like
that. I liked AR's playfulness in AABA I've had a hard time getting
into MC but maybe it's because I've been preoccupied with school and not able to

It will be an
interesting interview and I'm sure we will be there to listen and not make it a

that, I presume, is what the theme will be about!) as it's a part of his life we
really know very little about as none (or hardly any) of his work ever surfaces.
I'm wondering if the Cochrane Theatre is the old Lecture Theatre from the AMS
college. If so, it's a purpose built lecture theatre with tiers of seats rising
above the small podium. (Bitter sweet memories of one weekend spent there -
listening to a lecture by the brilliant Richard Homes and then being told by our
CO that we were to be amalgamated with another unit - the product of that year's
Defence Review!) The guy in the box office implied that it was the old college,
so I think it will be quite "intimate". Yum! I
wish I had got the 20gig Ipod now but maybe next year.... It will be a definite
buy if I get mobilised again. And the Ipod Photo would be even better! But
the mini is pretty cool (mine's green.)
I change my opinion of AABA quite frequently. It's a bit of an odd film in a
way, but likeable. As much as I don't like Hugh Grant, I think he turned in one
of his better performances, too, merely because it was out of character for him.
And AR is just top notch as usual. I've just read a review which describes him
as an "ageing Lothario". Not really what I would have called him....

Hiya Ladies!
How do you do? I have
arrived home after university and I'm deaaaaaad... Gosh, getting up at 5:30 am
and and get back around 21 hrs is killing me!! I don't have energy even to read
your posts... I've read that something is going to happen in autum and seeing
your reaction has to be good. Of course I don't think that I could be in London
by this time (damn university...) so... good luck to everyone is going to go to
whatever happens then. My envy and me would be here waiting for your reports .
Lots of love from the warm Spain!! (the summer is already here, yay!!)

I'm sure it's meant as a joke Susan. And as for AR don't forget this is
the man who told Kate Winslet "Curtsey and I'll kill you!"!!

Comments: I have never known slapping
or any other form of personal violence to accomplish anything good in the long
run. And I wonder what AR, who works so sincerely for peace and tolerance, would
think of this desire/wish/metaphor if he had the misfortune to know about it...

Poor AR...with all
these crazed fans on their way, he's not going to know what hit him! I'm green
with envy! Please get pictures...from the front (those beautiful tea green
eyes), from the side (that gorgeous nose), and from the back (his kissable
little tush)
Susan -- I've read that "slap" expression too. I always took it to mean
slap some sense into someone -- like when they are being stupid or hysterical.
Frankly, I don't think it would help to slap Stella. If she didn't recognise the
perfect man when he was literally between her thighs, she was never going to!
Whew! I'm getting myself a bit worked up for so early in the morning! Oh well,
I'm off shoe shopping! Looking for a cute pair of black heels! Have fun everyone
