Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

This happened:






n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Right, time to run round the office, arms out, bombing the water cooler with stationary singing the dambusters theme and trying and failing to make the low rumble of 4 RR merlins.

When's the new Dambusters film coming out? Or has that been scrapped as well?

Just watch the Death Star scenes from Star Wars. Somewhere on the net there are copies of both the trench run and Dambusters with the audio tracks swapped. Pretty much a one-to-one correspondence.

I've always said that Lucas never had an original idea in him. Evidence at last!

If any one is interested, in the UK tonight the channel More 4 is showing a complete reconstruction of the raid without using CGI.... Should be good!

Wasn’t there a massive brouhaha about what they were going to call Gibson's dog in the remake?

Seems daft to get worked up over such a minor detail, it’s not even as if the dog was integral to the raid itself.

Somewhere in south-central England.

His dog was called (an out of date term for a person with dark skin.)

In the 1940s that was a perfectly respectable name for a dog. It was a black Labrador.

Not now of course.

It sounds like something that could be easily changed for a remake without compromising the real story.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Jackson and Fry are one step ahead of you. The dog's new name will be digger. Still no news on when it's coming out at the cinema, though
