I got a fat box of Moomins DVDs and I'm unashamedly watching them. Back when I used to watch them on the fore-runner of CITV I hadn't really realised that they were made by Communistic Polish animators plotting our downfall from behind the iron curtain. Clearly ITV realised though, as they edited the runtimes down by about 20% - obviously shedding some of the more hardcore Marxist rhetoric. I can now check this out, if I'm prepared to watch the subtitled German versions, which so far I haven't been.
I read the two one-act plays written by Virginia Tech mass murderer Cho Seung-Hui this morning. I found myself starkly awake at 2am and staggered to my computer to deaden my racing brain a little. They reminded me of an essay I read by a school friend back in (I think) the third year of secondary school. He was a wild kid, and had been given a punishment essay for breaking something, or punching someone, or lighting something. He let me read it before he handed it in, and it was just luminously violent. I can't remember itg all, but the gist of the plot was this kid building a huge bonfire on school grounds then bloodily killing the members of staff and pupils whom he liked least then piling their carcasses on his big fire and dancing around it. Despite his anti-social turn of mind he was a clever guy and the essay was nauseating in its clearness of expression, and featured perfect spelling. He got another, longer punishment essay as a reward, with some tighter guidelines as to subject matter.

i am only joking with u....
but,
in its day ssbn 633
could have "parked" off your coast
and knocked britain off the map.....
pease remember i say this in jest.....
"30 years of history go here"
in the middle of it. I expect it's not easy to find out information about what a nuclear sub got up to during the Cold War, though. It's an interesting situation over here at the moment as regards the relationship between Poles and British people. Many Poles are coming here to find jobs, along with many other Central and Eastern European nationals. I have no problem with any of them. However, even the fairly right wing, annoying anti-immigration types nevertheless welcome the Poles. I think it must be memories of WWII...
Anyway - thanks for the interesting comment
