Good evening film crew As its Red Nose Day........... Just a slight change to tonight's programme (if you feel up to it). While I am out being wined and dined I thought I'd give you something to wile away the hours so that boredom doesn't set in and you don't get up to any mischief. Feel free to cheat as much as you like. You can google, phone a friend, confer, watch Red Nose Day on tv at the same time, throw your popcorn over the balcony. I don't care. Just make sure that all the answers are correct. Wait for it............ Aileen (wicked witch of the North)

night night Aileen and Christine sorry but this thread is playing me up tonight . Debs xx.

Night Aileen, maybe the old chanty under the bed wasn't such a bad idea after all! LOL Christine

Sorry, cross purposes. Yes Kathy Bates was in Misery. I was thinking you were getting her and Anne Ramsey mixed up. This site is so slow tonight. I can't keep up. Well I think I am off to bed. I've been drinking strawberry flavoured water this evening. Its very nice but I keep having to run to the loo. Never mind just think of the lovely rosy cheeks I'll have tomorrow. Nite all. Hope to see you tomorrow night. Aileen xxxxxxxx

OMG Aileen I just googled her pic....see what you mean LOL Thank goodness it's only my married name....don't want to be related to her......she'd terrify the kids! Christine

Christine yes that her. Aileen lol is that not the same woman as me and Christine are on about?. Debs.

She's an American actress. Small, fat, face like the back end of a bus, raspy voice. She's in her 70s now. Oh dear, I bet she's lovely in real life. Aileen

Debs are you not thinking of Kathy Bates in Misery?

Pat I think she was that woman that stared in the movie about a writer that she kidnapped, do you remember the one that French and Saunders did a remake off, and I can not for the life of me remember the name of the film. Debs.

LOL I knew it was something like that ! Still can't picture that actress though! Christine

Throw Mama From The Train? just a guess LOL.

Throw Momma from the Train, Christine. She was also in The Goonies. Aileen

Oops sorry Debs!

Cant remember the right title Aileen but I think its something like don't push Mom from the Train? Sure the mother was the small lady from The Golden Girls

Girls sorry I was saying night night to Lucia and any one else who had left for bed lol I am still around playing lol. Debs xx.

Another clue. I think De Vito directed the film.

Wrong film Christine but trains have something to do with the film I'm looking for. And its not Trainspotting!!!!! Aileen

Sorry Aileen just saw that you did mention Danny De Vito was in it too. Is it called Planes Trains and Automobiles?

Night Lucia, DEbs and Aileen, and Pat if your still around! Was it none of those I mentioned Aileen? And night to anyone else
