A happy news story

There are certain stories you read that kind of make you proud to be a human being. It has to be said that a fair amount of the time I'm not sure I am with all the awful things you see in the news. This one is one of the ones that makes me think humans are endlessly inventive and wonderfully caring to animals, a bit like Dr Who describes us when he's pleased with us. I love birds of prey by the way so that might explain why it made me feel so happy.

Movie meme, pinched from everyone

 I'm quite sure if I was asked tomorrow fro my favourite 15 mivies it'd be a different list. There's some obscure ones, well ok British, folks.

1. "This may smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm until I get the shelter up... Ugh. And I thought they smelled bad on the outside."  frickinfrackin, girly_curl_3 , rasah and  angstie all got this. Its Emprire Strikes Back

2. "It is an honor to die at your side." "It is an honor to have lived at yours."  rasah got this. Its 300

3. "I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue."  girly_curl_3  and sulien77guessed right with Casablanca

4. "Take car. Go to mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold? "  slashpuppygot this. Shuan of the Dead

5. "I need a corporal. You're it, until you're dead or I find someone better." slashpuppygot this too. Starship Troopers

6. "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen."  sulien77 and  zinfic  got this. Dune

7. "I have to help Wayne with his bogo pogo."  beaniesheppard  got this one too. Strictly Ballroom (my favourite secret pleasure of a movie)

8. "Paul the Boatman. Kinky, The Duke. Slasher. Kilburn Jerry. Crazy Larry. Mr. Lucky. Troop. Jimmy. I don't want to add my name to that list. My name? If you knew that you'd be as clever as me."  (no one got this. It's Layer Cake)

9. "Why can't you just be a good boy and die?"  beaniesheppard  guessed this. Goldeneye

10. "The pastries are light as air." "Germaine has very sensitive hands and an exceedingly light touch. She strangled a German general - without a sound."  (no one got this. It's To Catch a Thief)

12. "I shot an arrow in the air; she fell to earth in Berkeley Square." (no one got this. It's Kind Hearts and Coronets)

13. "We get semi-automatic weapons, they get automatics. We get Kevlar body armor, they get armor-piercing rounds. And *you're* wearing a mask and jumping off rooftops. Take this guy: armed robbery, double homicide. Has a taste for theatrics, like you. Leaves a calling card."   girly_curl_3 , rasah and zinficgot this. Batman Begins
