    It was my seventh birthday and my parents offered me a choice for the trip to the cinema: Mighty Joe Young or The Rugrats Movie. I was so paralysed by indecision that I got to see neither. A day I often look back when struggling to make a choice and/or when I justify to myself doing a double bill.
