Saw someone on the Tube in an Ali G costume yesterday, which had me wondering what the equivalent 2001 costume may have been. Were there stag dos where men in their 20s turned up dressed as Sid Snot?

Great film! HOLIDAY AFFAIR and I'd never seen it before. Terrific
Interesting Robert Mitchum romantic comedy on BBC2 now with a pre code gay man marrying a widow for convenience and Bob stepping in with true love. It's actually pretty good

Timmy grew up to be an architect and professor (Mrs Rox idly wondered what happened to the child actor - 10 more films, all but one in the '50s, and then a change of career).
