The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warefare, Guy Richie

 

If you’re of a certain age then you’ll remember Sunday afternoons/evenings there would be a war film on either BBC 2 or Channel 4. You know the films “The Guns Of Navarone”, “Escape to Athena” or “The Heroes of Telemark” spring to mind. 

All great tales of heroic deals the latter being a true story. Guy Richie must have been a fan too as this follows in those action war movie footsteps. 

Anders Lassen is a legend in the S.B.S and if you’re a fan of British special forces actions during the Second World War then you need to read his exploits as they are incredible the man was a true warrior in every sense of the word. 

This film concentrates on one of his early actions in the Gulf of Guinea, Africa. German U-Boats pose a threat to merchant ships travelling across the Atlantic and are being supplied with fuel and parts from a base in the Fernando Po. Using their sailing boat the group of commandos travel to the base in order to destroy the supply ship as with all things in war the plan has to be changed and adapted as things change. 

The film is really good as you’d expect from Guy Richie the action scenes are well made and the direction is first rate. There are subtle plot points to keep you engaged and of course the beautiful Eliza GonzΓ‘lez helps playing the S.O.E officer Marjorie Stewart. 

If you’re in the mood for a Sunday afternoon war film that’s been bought up to date then give this a go. You should also look at S.A.S Rouge Heroes as they are in the same vain.

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
