In the same 1976 film, Jamie, there's a fabulous scene in which Bob, dossing in Terry's tower block flat in a rough part of town (Thelma has booted him out), witnesses Tel saying to a girl he's just slept with that the bus stop is just downstairs.

Bob: Of course you always had an irresistible sexual magnetism.

Terry: True but its not just that.

Bob: When it comes to women you're hardly Omar Sharif.

Terry: If Omar Sharif lived in Gateshead I doubt he'd be Omar Sharif.
