Bob, when I typed "B*gger", I actually meant to type: "BEggAr", as in: "I can't believe what a silly mistake I just made. It really does bugger belief."
My fault; apologies.

Correct, Mark. That's your starter for 10. Now for your bonus question:
The movie gave rise to two new words. For 5 points each, what are the words and what do they mean?
No conferring.
Come on, come on!

>>since most if not all of those over 75 probably don't (or rarely) have sex,<<
Apparantly, this was no problem for Catherine The Great. Getting older may have slowed her down a bit, but she didn't really stop until she permanently assumed room temperature. (It's good to be the Queen!)

I would say . . .
Dirty old women? lol. Naw, that's three words. Hmmmm. Ummm, how about . . .cradle robber? lol
To be honest, I don't remember. It was so long ago that I saw it. I'm actually curious to know, though. What are they?
Wow, what a lady! Some of us just can't help ourselves. How I would have liked to know her, lol.

Just don't disapoint her. Any lady who has the public executioner on her payroll isn't the sort of person you want to let down!

Very hard question, Paul. As far as I recall it's a film about a bloke called Harold who hangs around cemeteries and an old dear called Maude who teaches him how to enjoy life to the full each day. Can't see how you'd get any new words out of that.

Monumentophilia and polyvivatism. Well, that's what David Gest just told me, and he should know, being a top bloke as regards vocabulary (I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here 2006).

Y'know Bob, thinking about it, you're absolutely right, it must have been a duff question. Let's just go with the words suggested by Mon and David Gest; they sound pretty good to me.

Well, Mon was certainly moving in the right direction with the clues. However, her answers can't be right because those words are already assigned. A Monumentophiliac was a person willing to consort with Catherine the Great (David Gest wouldn't have said no), and polyvivatism is a rare mental condition characterised by the patient's belief that he is Long John Silver come back to life.

Well, as the film is called Harold and Maude, why don't we just go for Harolding (meaning to be terrified of being struck in the eye by an arrow) and Maudism (meaning a fear of Scottish shepherds).

Blast!
David quite unrepentant, and called me an illiterate idiot.

He called you illiterate? He can't even spell Lisa with an S.

...or Guest with a U.
Such poor spelling reminds me of someone called Ahll who used to post here a few years ago. ;-)
Talking of illiterate celebrities (or their mothers, at least) I have it on good authority that Roald Dahl's mum confessed on her deathbed that she never did get the hang of spelling 'Ronald'...

"I would have said that setting the AOC at 75 would cause a problem, since most if not all of those over 75 probably don't (or rarely) have sex"
I rest my case. it would solve a lot of problems.
never mind pedophiles or Lolitas We would now have the justice systems working overtime just to keep up!
Talk about a growth industry we could have a prison in every town.
