That is not an 'as you wish' that really means 'I love you' - quite the reverse!

Too much of the proverbial 'safe pair of hands' for me.

When I said WW2 films, he was in some of the 'biggies'
In which We Serve
One of Our Aircraft is Missing
Bridge on the River Qwai
The Great Escape


and a lot of other stuff. No wonder he seems familiar.

And last week, I thought some of the music on Q2 was out of place

For those of you who haven't seen it before, do you think it's a trifle slow? Or are you happy with the pacing?

Seems fine to me.

No, Herculaneum was a lot bigger than that. And somewhere else.

It's certainly not moving along like one of today's 'action films'. But then, it's not designed to be. They're building tension, making you think. Not just blowing things up and shouting a lot (probably to make themselves heard above the unnecessary musak).

Mind you, you go back as far as Morny Stanitt.

Proper filing cabinet! Key benefit - easier to lose things you'd rather not keep.

Good to see a rocket scientist branching out into the occult. Proper career development, that.

That's a most improbable medieval manuscript.

Yes, the intellectual stuff.

Blimey, what point size is the typeface they used for THAT book?

Now they're having a go at charcoal burners! Is nothing sacred?

It's the Army types who think they know what they're doing that scare me.
