    <p>Slightly off topic, but the above reminds me of the best comeback I've ever been on the receiving of.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I had watched Unknown, the Liam Neeson flick and thought it was excellent - it had a pretty good box office run too, but was panned by a lot of critics (surprised RT has it at 55%, I thought it was much worse than that than that).  Anyway, the gist of my argument is that critics were full of shit and outdated. The only way to really tell how good a movie is, is to see how many have seen it.   The Artist had recently sweeped the oscars despite nobody watching it etc - I was really pushing for the argument that how good something is, should really be more defined by how many people watched it and enjoyed it,not by the view of a select few.  So, my pal says.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>"<strong>So, on that basis, you think that Justin Bieber and One Direction are the best music going around then"</strong></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>EDIT, It wasn't Unknown, it was Taken 3 - 326 mill at box office, and 10% on Rotten Tomatoes. Makes better sense now.</p>

    <p>My wife found 50 Shades boring*. Will she find Mokey's offerings better?</p>

    <p>Maybe I'll recommend she pick up an e-copy and have a look, though I'm not entirely sure what her stance on salacious historical chick porn is...</p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>In fact all of you buggers should read at least one of our dear Mokey's offering, they ain't dear nor slow - what are you waiting for?</p>

    <p>ps Mokey I say "embarrassed" 'cause I'm an X gen male with no idea how to express true feelings - I reckon your books are rollicking good reads....that sometimes make my lower tummy feel funny :)</p>

    <p>How can you say that? The photo is romantic on so many levels. Lonely older dude puts on his best singlet and sandals and goes out hoping, but not expecting, to find love. Imagine his good fortune when he finds not one but two businesswomen who enjoy his company and are prepared to look deeper to see what lies within.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The man is impressed by their entrepreneurial spirit and despite their apparent youth chooses to take a risk and invest in their business. All are fulfilled.</p>
