Certainly one needed a strong stomach for the film, and no less for 'Filth'. But in my opinion, 'T' was head and shoulders better than 'F'.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-55727438020399163832013-10-13T05:10:22.807-07:002013-10-13T05:10:22.807-07:00Oooh, Filth was on my list to see...

(A half mill win on the former is not to be sneezed at - nor is maybe £50 million on the other!)<br /><br />Yes, you certainly increase your chances of winning on the Lottery if you PLAY it!Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-14681463605853761112013-10-12T13:22:24.570-07:002013-10-12T13:22:24.570-07:00You know me, I wont be seeing this one.
