Kids nowadays are so obnoxious. First they label me an auntie, show off their awesome skills in front of me, and then hunted the neighbourhood cat down. Hey pal, the cat and I have been in the block for a far longer time than you have so back off and show some respect for us veterans.

On a light note, I went to watch Valkrie last night. I first became inetrested in it when some descendent of the lead charcter complained that Tom Cruise was too short and stocky to play von Stauffenburg. I agree. The height disparity between him and Bill Nighy who plays Olbricht is painful to watch, but he has to be credited for giving an intriguing performance. Anyway, the film is an insight to the July 20 plot to assasinate Hitler, (The last of FIFTEEN attempts. Shouldn't Hitler have noticed that he's not very popular?), with the help of Valkrie (Wakure) which was the Reserve army of the Nazis, to seize and take control of the government. A military coup, in other words. It almost succeeded, only to fail at the last minute when the messenger decided to switch sides.
