Sometimes, I like the War of the Worlds theme,and I liked this video I found on YouTube. At first, I thought it was another new film being made,but instead, I think it's purely made by fans.
Not sure if it's been uploaded here,but I hope it shows. It's very well done, but also very creepy. I'd imagine if that was for real and you were trapped in your own home with those Tripods outside watching your street, there'd be very little chance of escape.
Coming from a strong military tradition in my family, I love reading about people who served in our Armed Forces. I tried to do it myself, but failed abysmally, as I was weak mentally. I still feel ashamed of it to this day. Who knows how my life would have turned out if I'd succeeded.Sadly,I kept on bumping into the bad guys, who totally destroyed my confidence. I don't have much of it now.
Anyway, enough aabout my sob story, I've got quite a collection of military memoirs, and thought I'd share them.
This is a great read by larger than life character:Phil Campion, who was given up for adoption at birth, and really had a tough upbringing. Fortunately, Phil survived it,and is a fantastic bloke, and his military exploits are really good.

Rear Gunner is a fictionalised account from World War 2,but it's based on a lot of truth in the Allied bombing missions into Nazi Germany. It's a paperback, and the original title was called:They Hosed Them Out, based on a surviving plane landing back at base, but the rear gunner had been killed and blown to bits, so a hose of water was used to clean out the remains. It's a sad,harrowing story, but it's also very gripping. I'm glad I read it.

The Big Show,by Pierre Clostermann.
A brilliant memoir from the Free French fighter pilot:Pierre Clostermann, it's simply superb.
+++
Sniper One by Sgt Dan Mills.
One of the best more recent battle memoirs I've ever read. It has great humour, excitement, but of course, real tragedy. I gave it full marks.
+++
Zero Six Bravo.
From the first to the last page, this is a fantastic read. It's amazing how the odds were so heavily stacked against them, but with clever tactics and a lot of luck, they managed to successfully escape. Great stuff.

The Girl with Seven Names.
There are a few non-military books I've enjoyed reading, and I liked this one. She's one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen, and she recounts of her escape from North Korea. I strongly recommend it.
Never Above,Never Below.
This is a brilliant read,detailing the author's military experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as enjoying himself on his travels. I love it.
Long Shot by Azad Cudi.
There's nothing better than I like to read about highly skilled snipers, taking out some evil murdering scumbags,especially those ISIS cunts.
These bastards murder innocent men,women and children, and are the cruellest scum on Earth. Horrible, graphic details are included as these bastards rape women too,which is why I fully enjoy reading the details when these cunts get killed.

Freedom Fighter by Joanna Palani.
This young woman deserves a medal for her sniper work in Syria against ISIS. What's outrageous is how she's been treated by her own people,when she arrived back in her own country.
Joanna and the people she worked with, saved a lot of innocent lives. She's had her passport taken away from her, and she still receives many nasty and vicious threats to this day by so many scum. I really hope Joanna is very well protected.

Desert Sniper by Ed Nash.
One of my top 5 reads, I would take this book anywhere with me. It's pretty harrowing at times, detailing how sick and evil those ISIS bastards are,but it's bloody brilliant when the author describes his and his allies success against them.
The Triple XXX films are one of the most bitterly disappointing for me.
Although they're great action films, not one of the trio has a full treatment scene for any of the pretty actresses performing in them.I was outraged to see some of the lead actors doing this instead. :(
All three films get a much deserved, two fingered salute from me.
What a waste...:(
Just below is the then,very beautiful Tia Carrere in her TV show:Relic Hunter. She did perform a few scenes where she is tied up, but she was never fully bound and gagged. My blood still boils to this day over it.The writers wanted strung up for this omission. :(
Another badly,shocking wasted opportunity was for Kristen Kreuk when she did Smallville. Looking back at the show, I'm still flabbergasted she never performed any full treatment scenes whatsoever. I think Kristen is an excellent actress, but to me, it was a sheer crime not to write in any scenes for her on this.

Another bitter disappointment is the new Dr Who. I loved the old show, way up to the Sylvester McCoy era.Granted not every story had scenes, but there was plenty of them for the girls. Today, the show is PC,and the present actresses performing in it are way too tough.At least in the era that I liked, the girls were headstrong, but not tough or hard-nosed. A big thumbs down from me.
Well,after an absence of twenty years, Newcastle are finally back in the Champions League,after a 0-0 home draw against Leicester last night.
I found this result particularly satisfying, as the 'club ' below us didn't get it before us.They might not have the same side as when the obnoxious Fergie was in charge,and yes:I still hate every one of them to this day,but the current lot are just as bad as they were. Arrogant, unsporting, cheating, bullying 'players '.The very best of luck to their next opponents.
Anyway, enough of those scumbags, I hope the draw will be kind for next season.
Keep the Faith.
Well,despite Newcastle getting a point today at Leeds, I'm a little disappointed. Obviously a tough place to go-Indeed,you still have to watch your back in that place-and sure enough, a Leeds thug managed to run onto the pitch and shove Eddie Howe. Security at Elland Road was abysmal. At least Leeds did the right thing and banned the thug for life.
The ref was another joke, and the Leeds keeper should hang his head in shame at his antics with one of our penalties. Actually, I thought Newcastle looked jaded today, and no doubt Allerdyce will claim the moral victory, but hopefully two more wins should ensure Champions League next season. It was just disappointing to me,when Wolves' scumbag opponents beat them today too.
The very best of luck to man utd's (yes,small letters are deliberate) to their next opponents.
Down with man utd!
Well,after so many polite messages to KP,I've finally admitted he's not going to bother responding back to me. I can appreciate the fact that he's busy,but it's been a lot of years since he last spoke to me. Due to that long silence, he's really cheesed me off. What harm would it have done to send a polite message? Sadly, he chose to refuse, so that's made my blood boil somewhat. A shame really, he's a fantastic bondage writer, although the content of a lot of his recent works haven't appealed to me at all.
Very,very disappointing.
