That was brilliant. I watched on Wednesday and was bent over in my seat laughing.
I really don't see any problem with it.

I've just bought The Man From Snowy River (1982) DVD and relived it's glory twice. It's a great film. The actor playing Jim Craig.... (Tom Burlinson)... learned to ride for the movie and performed most of his own riding work.... even the infamous Descent scene. It is one of the best sequences in a movie ever in my opinion. The character is required to bring a pack of wild brumbies down from the high country and does it single handedly in the end. You'll also note that they brought in Kirk Douglas for one of the lead roles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZBXLYJwgt4The theme song is also brill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMR7oHJoXTA

http://videos.komando.com/2008/06/26/christian-the-lion/quote: Rendall and Ace decided to travel to Kora one last time, in the hope of being able to say goodbye, though Adamson warned them that it would almost certainly be a wasted mission.
"Christian hasn't been here for nine months. We have no reason to think he's dead -- there have been no reports of lions poached or killed. But he may never come back," he said.
Rendall recalls, "We said: 'OK. We appreciate that, but we'll come anyway and see you.'" They flew to Nairobi then took a small plane to the camp in Kora, where Adamson came out to meet them.
"Christian arrived last night," he said simply. "He's here with his lionesses and his cubs. He's outside the camp on his favourite rock. He's waiting for you."
Adamson and his wife Joy often talked about the mysterious, apparently telepathic communication skills of lions -- particularly between lions and men.
Both believed that lions were possessed of a sixth sense and George was convinced that a scientific explanation would one day be found. And here, it seemed, was the proof.
"Christian stared at us in a very intense way," says Rendall. "I knew his expressions and I could see he was interested. We called him and he stood up and started to walk towards us very slowly.
"Then, as if he had become convinced it was us, he ran towards us, threw himself on to us, knocked us over, knocked George over and hugged us, like he used to, with his paws on our shoulders.
"Everyone was crying. We were crying, George was crying, even the lion was nearly crying."

Scots in spaceThis may be a little difficult for some, if not all, of you. There's a lot of colloquial language which is virtually untranslatable. Still, it takes the piss out of us. Get Curious!
