Wonder if kustenjaeger has finished reading Beau Geste yet?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

You do realise this has gone on for 5 pages now. That surely is a record, and one that needs to be taken off the gramophone at once.

So to close, I suggest we have a song from that old Blue Lectionary Beau Diddley.

Sorry everyone. On a more prosaic note I am reading a jolly 99p romp from Kindle entitled Britannia, set at the time of the Great Barbarian Conspiracy in the late 360s.

I've just read "Ark Royal" - A piece of SF rip-roaring adventure in which the British are the main protagonists. Starting on vol 2 - "The Nelson Touch". Annoys me that the second in command is called the "XO" and not "No 1".
