The Young Ones : (l-r) Rick, Vvvyan, Neil, Mike 
- extract below

[Rick starts yelling like a baby, whilst Vyvyan lights a Molotov cocktail] 

Vyvyan: It's funny, but being ill makes me lose my usual tolerant and easygoing approach to communal living. 

[Vyvyan throws the Molotov cocktail into Rick's bedroom, which explodes] 

Rick: Oh, well, how ruddy considerate, Vyvyan. Thank you very much!

Neil: Yeah, thanks, Vyv. That petrol bomb's really cleared my sinuses.

Vyvyan: Why aren't you dead?!

Rick: I'm not prepared to discuss it with you, Vyvyan. You will be hearing from my solicitors in the morning. I'm going to write to my MP.

[takes out paper and pencil] 

Neil: You haven't got an MP, Rick. You're an anarchist.

Rick: Oh. Well, then I shall write to the lead singer of Echo and the Bunnymen! (...)

[writing] Dear Mr. Echo....

Regardless, a lesson.

We've been enjoying the Samurai film series on SBS.TV over recent weeks.

In Yoji Yamada's 2004 The Hidden Blade there is a very brief scene ] it's as if we pause for a lesson ( in which a man with hands outstretched closely follows a chook, readying to snatch it. Behind them walks a man with a large wicker basket, also at the ready. 

The moment the first man grabs the chook, the second man snares them both!

     
Then back to the main story...

... thence to today's INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM DANCE OFF. Background here, with this intro :
      
MUSEUM DANCE OFF ROUND 2: 
DEATHRACE 2000!

Both the National Portrait Gallery of Australia and the Otago Museum received random buys directly into round two. They’re also up against each other. When we drew these two as competitors, we didn’t know how much rivalry there was between Australia and New Zealand. So there’s some national pride on the line, as well as a trophy. To put this in context for the American readers, think Yankees and Red Sox (or, Yankees and everyone), Flyers and Penguins, Dunkin’ and Krispy Kreme, me and my jabroni neighbor who mows his lawn at 6:30am on Sundays, and so on…
