Welcome to my world! My name's Nik, and I'm a British expatriate who has been living in Paris, France for the last five years. Even though I never planned to stay in Paris for very long, now I'm here I've no plans to leave soon - the beauty of Paris has never worn off, and so far it's been a five year long vacation! Enjoy my ramblings...

Chocolate

I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night, and it wasn't quite how I remember it.
I'm not saying it didn't follow the book (it did really well up until the end and then went off the rails fairly badly), but suddenly now I see it's really a sweat shop employing third world workers paid in beans, and Charlie is selected as the heir through his competitors being whittled down by a series of industrial accidents. Looks like he'll be inheriting nothing but a bunch of law suits.

I wonder how I missed all that as a kid?
