You know, I like the story well enough, and I like Dickens in general, but I'm embarrassed to say I've never read the original story :oops: Is it a novel or short story?

And how was the Patrick Stewart film version? I've never seen that one.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

This reminds me to root out my copy of the Pickwick papers...

I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled"

AND MERRY XMAS TO ONE AND All!

One could argue that like in Shakespeare, dealings with the supernatural can fuck you up.

“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.
