Ahoy there!

Just lettin' y'all know I'm still alive and kicking, and back around here. Been rather busy, finally got meself a job and all. Nothing too exciting. Got a horse as well and became friend with another lady who also got a horse of the same breed (Stock Horse) and height. Discovered her husband works in the Army, I'm pretty sure he's a Captain (3 stars is a Captain... if I'm right). Too bad he ain't a submariner, lol.

Apart from job and horse, I've finally got my hands on Das Boot (the DVD, not the game) yesterday. It was a 2-DVD in one pack so I also got "Force 10 from Navarone". I have no idea if Force 10 is a good movie (it's a WWII sorta movie), ain't watched it yet. I'm trying to get my hands on Hunt for Red October. Read the book and enjoyed it.

I need to get started on "HMS Unseen" too If it was my book, then there's no rush but since it's an library book, I want to get started on it asap Shall have to get started on a submarine related book collection sometimes :hmm:

Any good submarine movie suggestions?
Sorry Oberon, I forgot all the ones you've recommended me apart from Crimson Tide (which I had so many opportunity to grab but never had the money at the time ). I will stay away from U-571. Already own K-19 Widowmaker (seeing that submariner get his hand stuck in the pulley chain makes me go... ack, gotta hurt).

Dunno if this would be any of interest, lol. But I watched "The Putin System: KGB to Kremlin" (I think I got that title right) on SBS. I think I just now understand why my Russian friend came to Australia. And it's sorta scary to know Putin's got some control of gas going to some countries Oberon and I had some good discussion about Putin and Russia. So yeah, apart from that, it was a very interesting documentary.

I shall sign off before I somewhat bore half of y'all to death, lol. And return to Das Boot (just up to that part where one guy talks about his French girlfriend).

You've seen Red October, right? That's a good one.

[Oberon]

I think my recommendations were:

Hunt for Red October
Crimson Tide
Hostile Waters
The Enemy Below
Run Silent Run Deep
Down Periscope
Gray Lady Down
The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming!

Good to have you back on the board
