    Your not wrong Barry. I should have a copy of film somewhere. I do like it; one of Brosnan's better ones,

    My favourite Brosnan movie by far is 'The Tailor of Panama', but Geoffrey Rush steals the film!

    Waiting for print on demand copy of 'A Working Manual of High Frequency Currents' by Eberhart, Noble M. This dates from 1911.

    Fiction wise I am going to re read Halfhead by Stuart B Macbride. If you like clever plotting, plot within a plot within a plot and you like Judge Dread then this story set in a future Glasgow would be right up your street. I am pretty shocked Macbride couldn't find a publisher for this, which was his first book as its excellent.
    Regards Neil

    What are you up to Neil? Is it in connection with your interest in medical electro-therapy equipment?

    About the same time for me. Ray Bradbury is one of my favourite 'classic' SF writers, along with Philip K. Dick.

    The film version of The Illustrated Man, starring Rod Steiger was pretty poor though.
