 I found this on one of the ads from google at the bottom of this pag. "Own Mrs Mike on DVD" it read, so I just had to click to see what came up. A film from 1949 starring Dick Powell & Evelyn Keyes, "Mrs Mike" is a classic that you just can't afford not to own.
Dick Powell stars as Canadian Mountie Sgt. Mike Flannagan. When Boston-bred Kathy O'Fallon (Evelyn Keyes) marries Mike, she is immediately nicknamed "Mrs. Mike" by her new friends and neighbors. Unprepared for the hardships of life in the Great White North, Mrs. Mike nonetheless perseveres through minor inconveniences and major tragedies, including the death of her child during an epidemic. The film lays on the sentiment rather heavily, but stars Dick Powell and Evelyn Keyes manage to cut through the treacle with their first-rate thesping. Based on a true story, Mrs. Mike was adapted from the best-selling novel by Benedict & Nancy Freedman

Yes, this is a very random post.
Kings is moving back to london in 2 weeks. I'll be meeting him at heathrow at around 12.30pm on sunday July 22nd, after spending the weekend in Dublin for the Flight Centre Limited Global Ball. From the airport we head into town, dump our bags and make our way to Covent Garden for some good old time Funday action - 2 for 1 Corona's at Blueshi's before heading for B@1 for 2 for 1 cocktails till 10.30pm. Ahhhhhh good times, how I miss those days.
Spending a couple days in London then off to Amsterdam with our good mate Andy to celebrate his birthday, before heading back to London for "Garyoke" at the Generator (where i lived for the better part of 2 years). Hopefully we'll get a game or two of poker in (with my old boss, Gen owner Louise, who is currently in Vegas competing at the World Poker Championships!!) and head out to a few fav spots in 'sunny' London. I'm really looking forward to catching up with everyone, so if you'll be around London, drop me an email, I'd love to catch up!
I'll be leaving London July 29th to come back to work, and as of August 1st I'll be taking over my shop (Student Flights) as manager. It's going to be a tough ride but should be a lot of fun.
So with Kings moving back to the UK I'll have even more of an excuse to head back over there, not that it's going to be a frequent thing, but maybe some time next year I can pay another visit. I'm still considering what I'll be doing a year from now - Canada, Ireland, Italy, back to the UK? There's a few options, I mean I could even hang around Perth! Kings will (hopefully) be updating this site a little more, but you can always find either of us on our emails, and more recently on Facebook (yes, even Kings has bowed to the pressure of 24 million users).
I'll definitely be updating over the next month or two with more news on Europe, the FCL WA Ball (tomorrow night, should be a heap of fun!) and any other things that come to mind.
But until then...
- Mike
