It is Tom´s Birthday today and no activity here! I celebrated it with my girlfriend Eve last night. I often talk about Tom and she didn´t know him so that she wanted to get to know him, to watch some his film. She brought an italian wine from her holiday and I switched on A Good Year. We drank out two bottles. We had a good time but I didn´t acquire new Tom´s fan in her. She sometimes confused Tom and Russel even (it was by this wine maybe:) But we drank to him cheers before midnight. And I had a hang-over from that today. Eve not, she is trained.

That is very sweet that you celebrated together! I wonder how Tom is celebrating... I hope he is relaxing and having a good day. As for your friend becoming a new fan, perhaps she needs to see him in some other films to see how versatile he is.  |

That's really lovely - celebrating Tom's birthday watching one of his films but I think after two bottles of wine it's understandable that your friend was getting confused  |

I also think but I have my favourite Tom´s films in original only and she cannot English anyhow. I have just the films with a dubbing/subtitles, where Tom have too little elbowroom. Also Enigma and Valkyria but she does not like the war movies  I will watch The Pirates with her next time. She saw the first part only just without Tom and she liked it. It could be possibility to pique her interest. |

But... be patient - you can get a result a little bit later (this is from my own expierence and I know some people on Hollanderia who got the same result). I wish that the formula "Watch POTC2 -> start to be a little bit interested in Tom -> get more excited about him -> and to be Tom's fan finally" will work out for your friend asap! ;D |

I must write/call to her about it but I am not sure he has this programme I suppose she has not a cable TV. She will watch it later at worst, when she will have a time to visit me. My own interest in Tom started Cambridge Spies. I liked Toby Stephens first (I still like him) but in this series Tom effaced all the others and I fell in love  |
