Chelsea-Stoke.

Chelsea-Stoke.

Disappointing performance by Stoke. In my humble opinion they had no real goal scoring opportunity during the entire match. Chelsea won by 1-0 but they had plenty of opportunities to make more goals. I find it hard to believe that both teams play in the same division.

Someone lent me Man on Fire over Christmas, and just got around to watching it. What a really good film [:)]

I watched some years ago and I enjoyed it. But then I usually like every film that stars Denzel Washington. [:)]

Got my 2nd Bond flick "THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN".

"KID DYNAMITE"

I've begun watching Friends again.

Waterloo with the text. (brings chuckles to hear Wellington addressed as Your Grace and read Admiral in the text.)

A ball-bouncingly brilliant 2-part series called Royal Cousins at War all about the relationship between Kaiser Wilhelm, Tsar Nicholas and King George V from their birth to WWI. The first part aired last night. What an exceptionally good documentary.

Going to be alot of superb programs in WW1 over the next four years. I am hoping though at least one program will tell me something I didn't know already..thats why I'm more looking forward to any dramas.

Quite a few tantilising what-ifs....

- What if Wilhelm II's father had had a proper crack at being Kaiser? Would he really have been a more moderate voice?
- What if Nicholas had been more like Wilhelm and Wilhelm more like Nicholas? That is the most interesting one. Heaven knows where that would have ended up - a German / British alliance against Russia perhaps?
- What if Queen Victoria had been alive in 1914?

I never knew Nicholas and Wilhelm signed an Alliance themselves - without the knowledge, much less the approval, of their respective politicians - that was bizarre!

I was watching a show called Myth Hunters last night. They had an interesting show on the Amber Room that disappeared from the summer palace in Lenningrad in 1941.

What if Alexander III hadn't died in 1894?
 
Or if he did a better job of preparing his son for the throne?

The Ballad of Little Jo. The tale of a frontiersman near a mining community and his life in a wilderness area. True(ish) story, and interesting characters for a Western.
