Welcome back, and it's good to hear of your health improving. You were missed by many, and your sudden disappearance was quite a mystery.

I went for a blood test at my doctors and two hours later I was in hospital, ambulance straight from the doctors, so I didn't have chance to go home or anything. My brother had to buy me clothes and stuff for my stay in the hossie!!!
Thanks for the welcome back.

Spike, you're back!
Many people have been wondering where you were, and a few PM'd you, myself included. Glad you're doing better. Don't take off again.

No messages in my box now, I had no computer access for ages. Thank you for writing though. I'll do my best to not take off again.

No, it was a while ago, while you were gone. They get deleted after a while.

Wow Spike - I hadn't see you on the Classic Film board for awhile and wondered about that; glad you're recovering.

By the way, I saw several films for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if you were the one who recommended them to me? I know that I heard about those films either on this board or on the CFB:
The Murder Man
(1935 whodunit)
Uncle Silas
a.k.a.
The Inheritance
(1940s British gothic thriller)
A Time to Love and a Time to Die
(heartbreaking war film)
If you recommended any of those, thank you! I really enjoyed all three of them.

Thank you VERY much, Spike! Much appreciated.
I saw some comments where people are saying that the actors overacted and that the film is full of cliches. The overacting made the characters more interesting (although in other films I prefer the subtle touch), and when I watch thrillers, I expect to see certain cliches (like the isolated mansion, etc.).
By the way, after a two-year hiatus, I finally got the whodunit threads going again. Feel free to join in whenever you wish.
