In the Bruce crowd banter at Reading ‘82 he really sounds like Garth Marenghi at the end of Run to the Hills.

The chugging guitars on Running Free are insanely good.

I was just having a listen to this one. Big one for fans of Iron Maiden, the song.

Finished Battlestar Galactica. Who would have thought a solid idea that starts really well could unravel so quickly into a mess of religious woo and tired scenarios. It steals the plot of films and books for its standalone episodes. I was surprised at how much story was kept in the reboot though.

Could see a great version of “Peace Sells” too. “What do you mean I don't believe in God? I talk to Him every day” in a zippy voice.

His book on the Crusades was brilliant and very level headed.

That Wally St Pier question in the mini ep really took me back to my youth. Saturdays at Upton Park (the old west ham ground), trevor brooking flying down the wing, scary racist dockers in the crowd. Marvellous.

They’re not particularly interactive, being prey animals. They do recognise you and are food motivated.

Hello, UK based tortoise keeper here. I mainly keep Hermanns tortoises, they stay small and can live outdoors year round here. They brumate through the winter. A good resource for you would be the Garden State Tortoise youtube channel, Chris Leones site.
