At the moment the connection seems fine (crossed fingers and toes) and an intermittent error can be so hard to track down and correct, so I'm half-way between hoping that the fault will either develop into a complete and permanent cut-off, or rectify itself and go away.

I endeavoured to persevere to watch Indy, but around the one-hour mark, that terribly inconsiderate connection error reared its head yet again and proceedings on my screen stuttered, then ground to a halt. Who won? Oh, I remember, it was Castro-Neves, wasn't it? Good for him.

I am intrigued to learn that Olga only made it to captain, I felt sure that a (wo)man of her stature and presence would at least have been made a major of the armed forced of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Perhpas some incidents we have yet to discover prevented further promotion?

Finally I shudder and reluctanly mention that the movie in question, I believe to be the sordid 3 hour flick based on an very loose adaptation of a little-known author; "The Women of the Republic", a.k.a. known as "Stalin's Bloated Brigade".
