@davidallengreen @markus I made this just a few days ago when the subject arose in Another Place
Let me have books about me that are fat.
Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.

@davidallengreen And I share a birthday (not the year, quite) with Nicole Kidman!
@davidallengreen I was born within a few days of Tom Cruise, and I'm feeling increasingly like the picture in his attic.
@davidallengreen @Blimundus The 1940 version is good too, and closer to the play. As an Anton Walbrook fan I prefer it, even at the cost of Ingrid Bergman and Angela Lansbury
@davidallengreen Oh, that's marvellous!
dagToday I discovered the 1952 "If-By-Whiskey speech"
It is glorious - a perfect precursor to so many online disputes about law and policy
The "This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise." makes it perfect.

@davidallengreen I thought of this just now when I received a notification from Costa:
@rosamundi @davidallengreen Happy birthday! All the cool people are having birthdays now, and mine is still months away
@davidallengreen Happy birthday! You share your birthday with Joseph Bazalgette and Lady Gaga, but I have no doubt you already knew that
@ianbetteridge That takes me back! Specifically to the early 80s, when my father and I had started to run his business on a home computer. File formats were... in a state of flux, it's fair to say; we went with plain text and csv wherever possible.
