Coincidentally me and the missus were sharing a couple of bottles of vino in the back garden yesterday afternoon, and this song came on the radio - cue much discussion on its greatness.

An Officer and a Gentleman Back in the day friends of ours arranged a nice dinner at their place and afterwards and to much anticipation they had rented this film from the local video shop (them were the days eh!?), and we all sat down to watch it - it was/is crap.

I was about to say the same thing about my mate too (y) and we're of to play golf for a week in a couple of days.

Surely, by definition, in a World War the entire world will be at war? Isn't that how it works?

That surprises me, I thought they were pretty much everywhere around here now. I often see a pair over Copthorne Golf Course.
