I can recommend three very good, non-fiction reads - all by the same author.

Antony Beevor is a former British Army Officer and is now a military historian.
I have read two of his books : Stalingrad, and Berlin The Downfall.

Currently readig his latest book D-Day, Battle for Normandy.

All his books uncover new historical evidence and they provide a more balanced account of events in those three threatres of conflict.
Shades of grey, on boths sides of those three conflicts.

I highly recommend all three of these reads.

I'll have to check in my local library. Thanks for the advice.

Hi there

A few months ago on another forum, I set up an alternative theme that detected crackberry/iphone/mobile users and forced them to use it. Its basically a very cut down theme.

Would you like me to set it up here?

cheers

Well ,if you combine the sum of us all and divded, using a standard formula ( a = qd + r and 0 ≤ r < | d ) I imagine we are all pretty much ok.

Plans for the weekend?

The wifes best friend and her husband are having a house warming party this weekend.
They live about 2 hour drive away.
We're invited to attend.

This messes up my Tour de France viewing and my cycling/training.
I asked the wife if she would mind me pedalling down to their place - and she could take my car.
She isn't impressed.
I told her that I don't want to go anyhow - and if I have to go, I'd like to get at least some benefit from doing so.
Although I can imagine her friends all saying "why is that freak cycling down to a party".

They just don't get it.

Anyone else have exciting plans for the weekend?

[jhuskey]

Lim, it is going to be one of the most gorgeous weekends in recent memory. I have an appointment with a couple of lawyers this afternoon to inspect an accident site and immediately after that I am headed to a local watering hole for unwinding.
I plan to do extra miles both days on the bike since the weather will be cooler with low humidity. I also plan two days on the boat and of course I will fit in Le Tour catching the highlites live and then the whole stage in the evening. Not sure about Saturday night yet.
Speaking of the tour it is time to go to live stream coverage.

I have been super busy at a new job. Just fast forwarding the Tour this week, lol. I stop for the interviews, and the final 3km.. Out of here in a few hours for a weekend in the country...the weather is like fall here, it's unbelievable!! So I'll be missing some good stages I guess.

I have my trusty DVR though. Although the end of a few stages got cut off. I finally figured out how to adjust it so it keeps recording after it's officially "over."

TGIF Quote For The Day

It only takes one drink to get me drunk. The only problem is I can't remember if it's the 13th or 14th.

[coneofsilence]

I'm off to work this Wednesday Morning. Have a good day all.
