I’ve been threatening to do it for a long, long time. Buy myself the complete film works of Laurel and Hardy in a DVD boxed set. Alright, for the perfectionist, it isn’t quite complete, and some of the ‘prints’ are of questionable quality. But for a true L&H fan of close to 70 years, it’ll do me nicely.

My ear will be full of milk
I’ve been watching the price for some time. Started at £199, which is way out of budget. It’s been coming down in fits and starts, though, and when I saw it on Amazon today for £34 I could sit on my hands no longer.
“Do you think I’m naughty?” I asked, seeking reassurance.
“Twenty-one disks for 34 quid? You’d be crazy not to. You’ve been going on about them for as long as I’ve known you.”
“OK. Done.”
Isn’t digital technology wonderful?
