Stephen Fry played his character in his life story and was very dapper indeed! Oscar mingled with the elite so I would associate him with luxury. Great film not to be missed but we were miffed when we didn’t win the trip. Spent a whole evening, we did coming up with brilliant names for that bloody ship.

TT - When I drink a pint, I don’t worry about its sexuality.

Stipes - Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison is a strange mix? The big question now is - was Wilde luxurious?

His tombstone, in Pere LaChaise cemetary is covered in lipstick. His, and Jim Morrison’s grave are favourite tourist attractions. I would think the bold Oscar was partial to a bit of “speed”

Oscar Wilde, eh. Were the bars gay bars?
Have you seen Gavin and Stacey on TV? Uncle Bryn with his satnav. Reminded me of you.

And he is coming up to see me next weekend - I will insult him on the matter then - it gives me a week to find them in the midsts of confusion at Fairy Cottage!!!

TheChrisD - The Euro is great like that. One currency from door to door. On return I realised just what a rip-off kip this is.

Robert - He is buried in Paris, if you call that a French connection? As for speed - I messed around with the SatNav and we did a constant 20 m.p.h.!

Kate - If you get them printed, you can scan them, though I think it is possible to scan a slide. You have all the experts in your family?

I have no idea - we always looked at them through a viewer or on a projector and screen. Let me find them first then I will insult people on the matter.

Didn’t Wilde end up in France after he got out of jail? Difficult to link speed to him, though, granted. Of course, it is also difficult to link speed to an Irish Ferries ferry, so that’s okay.
