Apologies, corrected now. Was rather hoping no-one was watching...

[kinboshi]

Erm, thanks.

[edgascoigne]

Question 4 asked you to come up with a plausible summary for the plot of "Jamon, Jamon", a genuinely brilliant and culturally fascinating film by Pedro Almodovar featuring his classic combo of Cruz and Bardem.



No joy I'm afraid for...

TightEnd   A tale of lust and industrial espionage as a young Preservative factory employee struggles to cope with the toast spreading requirements of her domineering boss

Geo the Sarge   Follows the sexual exploits in Spain of Glaswegian Sean McDermott. The title is the Spanish equivalent of an old Glaswegian term for oral sex (Gamon............"gies a gammie hen) and replicates the Spanish word for Ham

millidonk   Is the Swahili word for the sound a telephone makes. The English equivalent is ring ring.

Cf   Jane is on holiday in Jamaica where she meets the guy of her dreams. But is all what it seems?

david3103   Sophie was a real good looking girl from the waist down. This is the story of how her legs got her into trouble.

cambridgealex   One mans search for the best ham in the world continues...

MintTrav   Jamon Jamon is one of the most crime-ridden districts in Manila; not a place where Westerners would usually venture by choice. But Roger Vance has no choice.

ruud   A fusion of Jamaican and Bollywood influences brings us the romantic love story of an Indian Princess and a Rasta Romeo.

Silo Graham   Cape Town is the latest city where a string of murders has taken place in one of the townships.  Normally there wouldn't be such publicity surrounding the deaths but there's a dark secret linking these bodies and of bodies discovered in Johannesburg, Durban and Bloemfontein.

Waz1892   A spanish film, despite its "meat" title follows the story of the Bull fighting in the Spanish towns and cities.  Following the story from its orgins to todays moral dilemmas Spain and its people found themselves asking
