(as Humperdink and his pursuing band of soldiers close in on The Man in Black and Buttercup)
"She is alive, or was an hour ago. If she is otherwise when I find her I shall be very put out."
One of my favorite movies. Right up there with Hondo, Fiddler on the Roof, Finding Neverland, Fried Green Tomatoes and Benny and Joon. Not necessarily in that order.

Yes, there is also that meaning!....."She was a bit put out at having to cook for the inlaws and the rest of the extended family when they arrived unexpectedly for the Holiday season!" :mrgreen:
But the term is also perfectly valid in this way....'My neighbours daughters put out more than you do, put some effort into that and you might get it moving....!!! 8-)

Thank you! I hadn't got round to finding it. I like the Spanish swordsman best however...Inigo Montoya...fab film (I also like Finding Neverland - such a gentle story).

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
