Too much information
We should offer him Kaliningrad if he sorts Ukraine out
I watched it yesterday. It's really good and Diana Dors is amazing.
I watched Yield to the Night yesterday. Great film. Diana Dors was quite an actress. Amazingly Michael Craig is still alive.

When are you going to stop messing Topher around and just give him the job?
There was the whole thing; the explanation of this broken, savaged camp. Maletti’s panzer division was as tame as an old lion in the zoo. Undoubtedly they had courage, some of them. But they were living on a preposterous scale. The British coming into the camp could scarcely believe their eyes when they saw that each man had his own little espresso coffee percolator with which he brewed his special cup after meals. The British brigadiers in this action had not for many weeks or even months lived as the Italian non-commissioned officer was living. In the British lines there were no sheets, no parade-ground uniforms, and certainly no scent. The brigadier dressed in khaki shorts and shirt. He got bacon for breakfast, bully stew and tinned fruit for lunch, and the same again at night. His luxuries were the radio, cigarettes and whisky with warm water. But wine, liqueurs, cold ham, fresh bread—no, seldom if ever that.
This reminded me of account of the British army overrunning an Italian camp in North Africa

For some reason the Ricky Gervais v Grant Bovey fight came to mind overnight. I always thought it was a pity the John Pienaar v Tony Hadley fight wasn’t allowed to happen www.theguardian.com/media/2003/j...
Extract from cross country by James Patterson One second I turned back to Tunney again. Ellie cox was a dear friend. Nicole cox was thirteen. Clara was six James 10. The four Ahmed kids all younger than 12. They didn’t just die their heads were cut off. Whoever did it is on a par with Hannibal Lecter only this is real.
So far it’s very violent and I don’t think that well written.
I’ve just started reading my first James Patterson just to see what all the fuss is about.

RIP Jack Shepherd. I'll always remember the moment when Wycliffe suddenly popped up in a '90s sci-fi action adventure No Escape. It was pretty good as I remember.
The book summary of Rory Stewart's the Marches from world of books stating that "This reflective travelogue chronicles a journey through the borderlands between England and Scotland, perfect for readers who enjoy the introspective nature writing of Robert Macfarlane and the poignant father-son dynamics explored in "About a Boy" by Nick Hornby."
@rory-stewart.bsky.social according to the summary on World of Books, you've got a lot in common with Marcus from About a Boy.

Here in Tokyo, where he has been doing some promotional work for World Athletics, the Jamaican described his typical day. “Well, normally, I wake up just in time to see the kids off to school,” the father of three said. “And then depending on what I have to do, or if I have nothing to do, I just chill out. “I might work out, if I’m in a good mood, or I just watch some series and chill until the kids come home. I spend some time with them, hang out, until they start annoying me, then I leave. And then afterwards, I just stay at home and watch movies. Or I’m into Lego now, so I do Lego.”

But of all the thousands of epitaphs on the Battle of Verdun, the one that sticks most poignantly in my mind is that written over 40 years ago (in The Taxis of the Marne) by a Frenchman, Jean Dutourd, deploring the moral debility of his countrymen in 1940: "War is less costly than servitude," he wrote, "The choice is always between Verdun and Dachau."
Something to think about following yesterday’s display of moral debility #trump #putin
