Both my grandfathers served in North Africa, and my one grandmother was in a concentration camp in Russia so it's a topic that's always been close to me. The one grandfather passed away before I was born, but the other one's stories are the reason that I served.
Not quite the same, but, about a year back I got a call from Telkom Mobile (or one of their resellers) trying to flog some useless package to me. Unfortunately for the person calling I had some free time and the guy chose his words badly and told me I can have a free tablet, so I said I'll take it, then added the part about the SIM and contract so I told him I wasn't interested in that but was happy to provide my address for delivery of my free device. The conversation went round in circles with me telling him I now insist on my free device that he promised me. Sadly I lost the call when I stepped into the one lift at work and he's never called me back...
I watched the first episode and thought it had promise, and then promptly forgot about it until I saw this post... Anybody checked out the new Netflix show, Gypsy?
I started watching the trailer, and thought, "Well, this looks promising" and then, for some stupid reason, they added (presumably as a selling point) "From the director of 50 Shades Of Grey" and I was like, "Well, this is probably going to be crap"
I learnt yesterday that while it I was smart enough to pack shoes, I should have been smarter and paid attention to exactly which shoes I packed... I looked 'awesome' in formal attire and neon green Nikes...haha
Makes me think of the comedian Greg Davies when he talks about a child he taught before he was a comedian, the kid said, "When I grow up, I'm going to be a train driver, or a gynecologist" and he said, "Those are rather contrasting professions", to which the child said, "I suppose I just like tunnels"
