Fiji

And we rediscussed our laminated lists.  I didn't have one for a start.  It's just quite difficult for me to come up with one as most actresses are, admittedly very good-looking but don't have real personality.  I think it's easier for women.  Caro, for example, is constantly updating her Laminated List.  The shock news from Fiji is that Ricky Martin has dropped off the list since, "he hasn't done much since 'She Bangs'."  The new laminated list looks like this:
 
1.  Tom Cruise
2.  Sam Elliot
3.  Robbie Williams
 
Tom, apparently manages to "ooze sex into all of his roles".  Quite frankly I think that sounds a bit disgusting, but you can't account for taste.  Bubbling under in Caro's list are George Clooney, Harrison Ford, Cuba Gooding Jr. and a young Jack Lemmon.

We also got onto the subject of Caro's Lesbian Laminated List, should she ever decide that I've ruined her for all other men:
 
1.  Angela Basset
2.  Meg Ryan
3.  Drew Barrymore
 
And after much struggling, I came up with my list:
 
1.  Sigourney Weaver
2.  Sarah Jessica Parker
3.  Elisabeth Shue
 
I've always had a soft spot for Glenn Close too, but purely as the Marquise in "Dangerous Liaisons".  I have a thing for evil women as those of you who have met Caroline will know.  Bubbling under in my list are also "Destiny's Child" although I'm unsure which one.  Possibly all of them.
 
Having discussed that it was necessary to take a cold shower.  Fortunately, that was no F*CKING problem.
 
Sue, meanwhile, had been beavering about back in the UK and gave us a real surprise on the 2nd to last day in Fiji.  As we sat at the resort's Internet Cafe we found out that my accountant had forgotten to tell me about the last dividend, or it had dropped down the back of the couch or something.  The upshot was that the dividend from my dissolved company was about 3 times the size we expected.  This had MAJOR implications for the quality of our USA trip, and would alter our approach to travel as you’ll see…
 
We celebrated by going to the resort cafe for lunch and then watched in bemusement as a cute, but extremely clumsy bird skittered down onto our table and fell on his &rse.  Then he picked himself up, walked over to our finished platter and scoffed up the tomato sauce.
