1. Everyone's already seen almost every film I've ever watched! Try Forbidden City Cop. Chow Sing Chi in fine form, not as unfunnily over the top as he can get.

2. The Ladies No 1 Detective Agency by Alexander McColl Smith. Gentle crime fiction set in Botswana, though it's stretching a point to call it crimefic a lot of the time.

3. The Beatles Connection from the King's Singers. Because I am predictable, and everyone should hear "Money Can't Buy Me Love" performed as a madrigal.

4. smallship1 isn't just the most creative filkers going, he's also one of the nicest people I know.

5. Food. There, that was easy.
Oh, you want specifics. How about Chicken Penang with boiled rice, with a lemon sorbet for dessert?

6. You're going to know all the good slash websites anyway. Unless perchance you haven't come across Cats of Different Colours (http://freedom.aeglos.org/phelis/) (Due South/Highlander slash crossover) before?

7. "Except when he's lying, Spike tells the truth."
