Enjoying talking to you :-)

Do you mean existential angst over death and not being a believer in anything?

Speaking of existential angst, we saw Woody Allen's 'Irrational Man' on the weekend. I'm not an Allen fan really, but there was nothing else on. Find him a bit sexist and everything seems to be about justifying running off with his step-daughter. It's not too bad though. Same old chestnuts from Allen, as you would expect. Some good stuff on philosophy. At one point it is referred to as "verbal masturbation", particularly in contrast with 'real life' issues, such as death, for example. I thought that was quite good :-)
