Big news: I'm moving again...

Does anyone know if there are any cinemas in London which are showing both parts of Kill Bill one after another? Having bathed in the cinematic wonderfulness that was KBII once, I want to watch both again, and I know people who haven't seen KBI yet. A day of Tarantinoification seems like the right solution.

Oh dear. You mean it gets worse than "he gave it to Margo and I"? There are actually people who give up on the word me all together?

Oh, yes!

"I" is used instead of "me" in the West Country almost exclusively. It used to be very disconcerting until I got used to it. *Fumbles for correct grammatical terms and fails, cursing post-60's education* The trend is for "active" pronouns to be used in preference to "passive" ones, as exemplified in the title of the Wurzels' track, "Don't tell I, tell 'e!"

It gets very amusing when you have to deal with the very self-obsessed :S

Ack! This is worse than the Geordie tendancy to speak in plural when meaning singular:
"And so he tells us that we can't do ..."
"Wait, 'us'? I thought you went there alone!"
"yes. 'twas just me. And so he said to us... "

Of course my first week in Newcastle I couldn't understand the bus driver at all...
