Betteric----British Academy of Film and Television Awards Thanks for the info. I watched the Oscars right to the end. I love the glitz and the glamour. So happy for Colin. Any movie Colin is in I won't miss. I really didn't notice him until "Pride and Prejudice." but I'm sure his acting c...

Thanks

Hi Hughie, Find this picture puzzle forum very interesting so thought I could revive it with a picture puzzle of my own, but not too successful. Tried to put a picture puzzle in, but I think it gives the answer away. I tried "Img" and that didn't work, then I tried html and that gave the n...
