I hate that stupid vertically long enter key. Who were the idiots behind these layouts?
Wait I think I know... it was this guy:

Ahhh yes. It's that fellow who created backspaces that are only one tiny key big, vertical enter keys, L-shaped enter keys, shrinking down the space bar, etc.

A lot of women in the UK like the "vertical long enter"

Charles Laughton was infinitely more talented than you

Charles Laughton, Spencer Tracy and Laurence Olivier have got to be amongst the finest actors of the 20th century if not the actual top 3 male actors IMHO. Apologies if I have forgotten a few heroes from the 1920, 1930's etc but they would have to go some to get in the above triumvirate.

There was one skinny pale faced guy I can recall was good, and another geyser named Roland... somebody or other (no, he was not a rat, he only played the roles).

It was not James Stewart I was thinking about, it was a skinny pasty looking wimpy guy from the black and white days. For some reason James Stewart reminds me of Gary Cooper, did they do a famous movie together?
