At the start of MGM films there used to be a lion that roared. Anyone know it's name?

Rank's man was once a boxer, a bombardier. I forget his name.

naomi although I respect your opinion, it is not straightforward in the wider picture.
Watching other people perform is a well known fanatasy/pervertion which is not uncommon called Voyeurism......well known and well documented.

[Sqad]

Ooops! wrong thread.

[drmorgans]

Sounds more interesting than a long dead lion.

[Peter Pedant]

I did that Sqad the other night
but it as in Latin so no one noticed

did I ever tell yoou that Michael Reilly inventor of Reilly Colomyotomy for diverticulosis, used to write his consults in Latin?

[drmorgans]

To some of us even the English version looks Latin. Plus ca change.

[sandyRoe]

Sqad,
What thread was that? There's nothing prurient or voyeuristic in my asking, just idle curiosity. :-))

[aelmpvw]

sadly i very much doubt if naomi supplied any voyeoristic links . . .
