Mein Kampf

[sonu]

Downfall is a top movie. Other good movies in relation are the Piano Player, Stalingrad and Schindler's list.

another autobiographical book that was a realyl amazing read was a long Walk to Freedom by nelson mandella

I have that on my bookshelf but have never read it. Daunted by the bloody size of the tome to be honest. My mother-in-law bought it for me - and she's been dead 6 years!

Perhaps I'll blow the dust off and give it a look then.

OT: Currently reading 'Moondust' by Andrew Smith which is a sort of collective biography of all the guys that went to the moon on the Apollo missions. Brilliant stuff.

Sod the books, Janey lives with another woman. Tell us more..................... but later....................I have to go.............

Also recommended is "A Man on the Moon" by Andrew Chaikin. From a long lost time of huge gambles at enormous cost paid for by the taxpayer.

Dont be like that, I was just beginning to warm to you.

Have I seen it? I am responsible for most of it.

Maybe the Apollo missions were enormously expensive gambles, but I can't help feeling that our parents and grandparents generations had so much more of a 'can do' attitude to everything.

They had ability, organisational skills and sheer balls to tackle the most outrageous feats - like putting a man on the moon and getting him back alive.

These days, you can chuck all the money you want at a project (in whatever arena) and nothing happens - or its a disaster. Our generation just sits around in meetings covering our arseholes.

I don't think we'll be going back to the moon anytime soon - let alone mars.

I was meaning the stuff from the going direct thread really

but yes, you're bad and must be punished (oh god here goes another thread onto light relief!)
