Tennessee Williams was a dictator? I knew James Joyce was a bit of a belligerent prick, but Tennessee Williams?

I wouldn't mind being on the Roman Senate - all the perks, none of the pressure. Gimme my grapes & my feather, please.

I would like to be St Columba. For an evangelist celtic saint he had a pretty cool time, starting a war in Ulster when he nicked a prayer book, meeting the Loch Ness Monster and stuff. I picture him as being like Sean Connery in a hassock. Oh shit, that's The Name of The Ros innit.
