    Commuting is an verb, 'communting' is a mentality.

    For example: Garry H is not a communter* but he does commute.
    *The statement might be true however, it's just an example for grammatical illustration.

    More from the Pinnosaurus files next week but you can always add to this:

    Did I tell you that you guys paid for me to drink coffee, eat my lunch and watch Paris Roubaix yesterday. Thank you for that.

    Not sure what to watch today but I'll be thinking of you.

    Old WW2 movies (black and white) and Kelly's Heroes. Bit of internet shopping for bicycle bits and a lot of coffee.

    All paid for by you, so thank you very much.

    I won't do my Short Tax return for the 2016-2017 financial year until October, so don't thank me yet.

    Ahhhh, kelly's heroes, with kojak in it.

    Ice Cold in Alex is definitley up there. Dambusters. The Longest Day. Ooooh - too many to choose from.

    Something like Battle of Midway I'll give a miss, but anything with John Wayne in is always good for a laugh.

    War documentary wise, Top Gun. True story filmed and documented brilliantly.

    Agree completely and am also currently reading the book. TBH after 200 pages of not a lot happening in the North Atlantic I'm really looking forward to something - anything - happening.

    Ah - the coital cardiac arrest. Such a rubbish film it sticks forever in the memory banks.

    I take your Private Benjamin and raise you an Apocalypse Now.....

    I never got to watch Zulu in full until my wife was in (a very long) labour with our eldest. She was out of her head on gas and air, and there was a TV in the labour room. The last time I got to watch a film in one sitting for quite a while once junior showed his face.

    Absolutly excellent film, and very satisfying to finally watch it after years of seeing bits of it.

    On the subject of long films, what about Kurasawa's Ran and his other samurai movies?

    The Guns Of Navarone is my favourite. Force 10 from Navarone, not so much

    Minions. Even after countless viewings with the toots, it's still good.

    Battle of Britain dog fight scenes. Terrific.
    The music from 633 Sqn. Stirring stuff. The film not so good.

    21 Grams.

    (That's 'Grams' Bally, not 'Gran's'. Sorry if I got you a little excited).
