Hi, I'm new here. My name is Walt and I live near Munich, Germany. I was looking for an opportunity to brush up my English and started reading George Eliot's Middlemarch. Later I saw the film - you can guess what happened then. Searching the internet I found a lot of stuff about Rufus and - of course - I came along the rooftop. So after some time I thought it would be much more fun to join you instead of attending lessons. My favourite is TOTS, despite its lack of subtitles. And there is still a lot of Rufus' stuff to discover for me. I also like painting, Claude Monet, music from rock to classics and gardening. Unfortunately I have little time for leisure - so please be patient with me!

Hi Walt! W E L C O M E from one german to another. Good choice of movies. I love TOTS too! And you must see "In a savage land". It's impossible to get this in Germany so you need to take youtube for it. And I also love "Tristan & Isolde". Rufus was so adorable in it. And you need to see "Charles II"! Of course you need to see every movie he's in!!! Have fun here!

Welcome walt!!! You have the honour of being our long awaited 300th member, so please don't let our occasional silliness frighten you away because we don't want to have to welcome another 300th member instead!!! And from Germany! I think there's a German reunion party going on here! And i'm a bit concerned that we might lead you all well and truly astray with our very poor use of the english language (be warned the "urban dictionary" sometimes referred to here, is not really a good english reference source ). But enjoy your journey of discovery of all things Rufus, he's what brings us all together and fuels our craziness. You're in for a treat watching his fantastic work for the first time!!! ;D

Yay! Welcome Walt! I'm a Claude Monet fan too! I have a print of the iris's painting in my living room. But I'm a bigger fan of Rufus. Too bad he can't be in my living room! Have fun and don't worry about your english. We're not so good at it ourselves sometimes! Happy Rufus-ing!!!

Hi Walt Pleased to meet you. Another Rufus fan with TOTS as her favourite what taste. He is pretty in Middlemarch though isn't he ? Our 300th member too - what a reason to celebrate. I put Charles 2 as my next favourite after TOTS but if you're anything like me you'll want to see everything he's done anyway and then watch them all over again. Have fun and I hope to see you around on the Rooftop.

Hi Walt! I'm sorry to be so tardy in greeting our 300th member!
I blame the demands of a new job and those same computer problems that plagued me a couple of months ago. Anyway ... I'm glad you're here! Anyone who loves TOTS is definitely in the right place!
