Anyway, I am looking forward to reading the Comments section on the BBC's website, which concern a ballfoot game between The Manchester United and Trainmere Rogers (I think - I wasn't paying that much attention to minor technical details like that). Not because I have any interest in the ballfoot game, because I don't. No, rather I have an interest in all the invective and venom that the posters display; if I had any popcorn then I'd be sitting with a bucket of it, reading and laughing.
An object of worship for some |
Let us examine that post which asks "People that work on movie sets, who are the most entitled actors?"
Only kidding! |
Jake Gyllenhaal comes across badly, thanks to being such a method actor, who does not like people interrupting or bothering him when he's focussing. Conrad would call that a bit tetchy, really, and not terrible.
Hairy and scary (Is that fair-y?) |
The far more likeable and funnier Chris Prat, because "Parks and Rec". (Go Google the other plonker if you like) |
Several posters noted that actors who hail from Perfidious Albion are all universally lovely and wonderful and down to earth; it's the South Canadians who are faecal fundaments.
Motley! This grape has not been peeled! Go strap yourself to the Upper Dungeon's Middling Torture Table for twenty minutes.
"Panzer Ace" By Richard Von Rosen
Yes we are back to this. As mentioned before, RVR's Tiger company was sent to Normandy in the aftermath of D-Day. He recounts one engagement in July where his company knock out eleven Sherman tanks, after practicing text-book perfect overwatch and firing. Wehraboos take note: eleven Shermans, not one hundred and eleven.
RVR's Abteiling also had the hideous distinction of being hit by the endless conveyor belt of RAF bombers preparing the ground for Operation Goodwood, where anyone not inside their Tiger tank was never seen again; not even fragments remained.
This is a 56 ton vehicle |
I think this is that very tank |
Okay, enough of death and horror! Let us now turn to LITHIUM WAFER BATTERY DES -on second thoughts, let's not.
Back To The Future
For Lo! we are back to that list of the 51 Greatest Sci-fi novels of all time, so Bring It On!
Yup, read it. |
Anyway, the novel. This was a kind of snapshot of the film, since Arthur and Stanley were always bouncing ideas off each other about what next? It is worth reading even if you've seen the film. The whole idea comes from a short story that Arthur wrote, called "The Sentinel", of which perhaps more later.
From here we begin to enter uncharted waters as far as Your Humble Scribe is concerned. Art?

Conrad is intrigued by the synopses he's read. I may buy this one.
Finally -
Just to let you know that I'm on our late shift next week, thus not finishing until 18:00 and not getting home until 19:20 at the earliest, so BOOJUM! may not get posted onto Facebook and Twitter until perhaps 20:00. That won't stop the especially keen fans who acquire early insight thanks to logging onto Blogger. To those fans, thank you!
Time to ride the rocket-rails into the night ...
