nothing you can name, that is anything like a dame. ;-)  I haven't

Ironically, last night, I was watching Special at
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-7956303775618311938  (very
rare to find some short films) where Michael Rosenbaum pretends to be
disabled to scam a signed football.  The opening credit sequence
focused on a wheelchair and there was reference to it being the
'wrong' type of wheelchair.

I'm thinking of vidding to it and using the Chariots of Fire 'theme'. ;-)
