    Default Waterloo on in half an hour

    The film on UK TV in half an hour.

    I'll be back in 2 1/2 hours.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    That might be difficult, but you would have to:

    1. Launch a giant mirror into space and put it in a Geosynchronous orbit above Britain.
    2. Contact somebody in Britain and ask them to buy a giant TV.
    3. Lie the TV on its back and switch it on at the right time.
    4. Buy a powerful telescope and look at mirror in orbit.

    That should work. Now the sound might be a problem.

    Or you could go down to your local video/DVD rental shop and see if they have it. Though being in Texas might mean a days horse ride and being attacked by Mexicians looking for a job.

    Ach! Ye Gods! What have you against me?!
    I had to attend a planning meeting for my Duke of Edinburgh Award at lunchtime, so I could not pop home and watch the the bit of the movie that was on in my lunch hour...

    Ha! I'll try to see if they have the movie. What I meant (which I think you know) is that I wish it would come on TV here too.

    And by the way, Texas isn't a bunch of farmland with a few people who ride horses (I'm sure you know this too). The city I live in has about 3 million people and it's only the third largest city in Texas.

    Please dont turn this into a spam thread.

    An excellent flick, I've seen it quite a few times.

    I always love seeing 'Fred Elliot' as a trusted Prussian officer.

    'I say...I say' ..... ALA Rovers Return.

    It always affects me when I see the OLD GUARD shot down. Such brave and honourable men.

    Its 1.6
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I'm counting all suberbs and stuff. There is a sign by my house that has the population that says 2.4-2.6 mil. I don't think you're counting all.

    Charge of the Light Brigade must be on (again) soon. If it is, I shall let you know, just before.....
