Hello everyone

There is a time for big changes nowadays...

You all know, we got over-the-world crisis and I just became one of the victims...

And now I have to move to United Kingdom to new work

I think movies will still be uploaded, but I am not sure if it will be on regular basis, and I can`t promise you subtitles or screencaps, as I dont know what kind of Internet access I would have

If there is anyone from south-west UK that wanna talk about old movies and drink beer, then feel free to leave me a message :D
