Permit me to digress for a brief question! Is the McGoohan charactor the reason for the (six) in 'Marksix' ............ and peharpe a play on Marxism!

P.S. You have spurred my interest in watching this series; as well as raising many other thought provoking ideas....thanks I greatly enjoy reading you posts. As also does - I would guess - Noam Chomsky.

cheers mate

Doh! ya got me!

I only wish I were that bright; in fact Marks one to five were mere prototypes but you have given me an idea - I shall adopt "I am not a number - I am a free man!" as my new signature and drop Michelangelo's "...I have never found salvation in nature. I love cities above all" forthwith. Or even sixthwith.

Actually - that village really exists. It's Port Merrion in Wales near to Port Madoc (Porthmadoc) and one of the most beautiful places you can imagine. I have even stayed there for a weekend with my g/f and it is anything but free - almost £600 for two nights!!!!

Remind me again who Naom Chomsky is...

It was built by the famous architect Clough Williams-Ellis- looks like Italy - in reality is Wales

I just googled it - try this site if yoou are interested in the cult TV series:- http://www.portmeiricon.com/

Also - you might like to see how the UK government's TV ads create the kind of environment the Stasi would be proud of in which they encourage each of us to report on our neighbours:-
