I enjoyed it very much Arni, and I'm a bjork fan too. I was
very impressed with that film, was it called Dancing in the
Dark?
You've got me wondering if being 'curt' is a feature of
living in the cold north. Yorkshiremen can be pretty abrupt
too. Conservation of heat by keeping your mouth closed
perhaps? Just musing.
