Sleeplessness

[NEILL THE NOTORIOUS]

We have recently spent the kids inheritance on an Adjustomatic. All bells and whistles, 2 singles linked, BUT they are 6ft6ins long, and really need fitted sheets, and we can only find one supplier, so more dosh. It is really worth it, aches and pains in neck and shoulders disappearing, and more sleep.

Yeah !--- spend the cash !---- see JR's and my Posts on Parent's Day !

On the other side, some years ago, we suddenly got The Ride of the Valkyries at full volume at 2 in the morning. No idea what that was about - just one of the perils of living in a terraced house.

Didn't that feature rather loudly in a fillum about the Americans in Vietnam? Perhaps your neighbours had got the video out.

A certain gentlemen of theatrical bent used to give good parties and the invitation would include the statement "Gunfire at 4.00am" or similar. There were loudspeakers in the trees so we would get the 1812 overture or Waterloo (not the Abba one but a parallel to 1812) at full volume. Fortunately the neighbours were invited but it must have been heard for several miles.

Indeed.

Apocalypse Now (1979)

Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, with Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall.

The Americans did actually use these tactics in the Vietnam War.

When on "Active Service" I tended to keep as low a profile as possible !

It is my belief, that any professional Soldier -- should be a congenital Coward !

I'm still here -- (At 81 ! ) Two Heroes, in the Family -- but not I !

They also used them to get Noriega out of the Papal Nunciatura, to which he had moved in Panama in 1989. I have a home video of the US invasion and was in the hotel next to the Nunciatura when the invasion started.

I learnt this summer that Noriega is holed down in a Miami prison. His favourite prison guard happen sto be a guy I shaed a room with at uni back in middle 80s.. Small world.
