The Daily Teaser …

Well …

That’s Christmas over, for another year … !

Well, apart from the inevitable finishing off of the few last presents. I know I’ve been given a copy of The Boat That Rocks I’m gonna happily suggest for a movie night.

Actually, it’s the same for Allison: being the John Wayne fan she is, she was feeling both pleased and grateful, about being given a copy of The Quiet Man.

You know, I don’t think think I’ve ever seen a John Wayne movie.
