Only if you smoke on the premises!  |

(not in the library itself, I hasten to add - somehow don't think they'd be too happy about that)

Two weeks ago, was re-watching Threads (still as good as it was back then - if 'good' is really the appropriate term! Certainly reminded me how much an imminent nuclear war was on many of our minds in the early 1980s), and one character, in the post-apocalyptic world, was saying to another how much he used to love a cigarette after eating ..... ARGGGGGHHHH!
Certainly, that was quite a remarkable success; I've not seen it since it was first shown, but it came across a good deal more powerfully than one perhaps had a right to expect, as I recall (no disrespect intended to the goodly folk of Sheffield in so saying, of course). Best, Alistair |

No, indeed; the phrase "burning books" somehow comes to mind... Anyway, keep up the good work; maybe you could be further encouraged in your endeavours were Michael Finnissy to write you a transcription of "Smoke Gets in Everyone's Eyes (shall I suggest the idea to him?)... Best, Alistair |

If anyone hasn't seen Threads, or would like to see it again, it can be watched in full here. Highly highly recommended, but if you haven't seen it before, be warned that it's extremely harrowing and depressing. Very emblematic of the fears (not without good reason) that characterised the early 1980s, a time of nuclear build-up. |
