I'm not a chocoholic. I can give it up anytime. Just not right now.

I'm struggling with The Rings of Power Season 2. One plotline resembles something out of Emmerdale and the most boring parts are Sauron and the Rings.

@SeaSpitfires A sunny afternoon in the garden brought a good opportunity to start reading Sword Beach. The preface and introductory pages alone make me eager for more. I especially appreciate the section on Information Sources and the relative weight to put on them. Bodes well.

Ok, I’ve already had a PM. If you do want to lift my spirits just tweet Normandy/landing craft stuff at me. And please continue to ask questions! I didn’t mean to imply you shouldn’t, I just apologise if I don’t answer.

Executive Decision is a great film. Along with Under Siege, they beat every Die Hard movie hands down.
