It's true Baz - there's so much we don't know but should be grateful for
I remember "Carve her name with pride" a movie about a WW2 heroine
There should be more - there must be so many untold stories
I loved that film ....in fact I won a prize for reviewing it when I was in senior school

Been watching this - an amazing story about Witold Pilecki - the subject of Costa winning book of the year 2019 "The Volunteer".

That's right, Morrison's were playing "Rush - Closer to the heart" today!
Was it in deference to the late, great Neil Peart or did some procrastinating teenager with a neck tattoo get their hands on the tape recorder?
The latter most likely . . . .
Have you noticed how a flappy paddle gear lever looks like a penguins arm?
Who sees a young woman? Who sees an old woman?
Younger people who look at this optical illusion are more likely to see the young woman first, and older people are more likely to see the old woman first. https://go.nature.com/39sKuVH
