@ Madam Broshkina : beautiful Avatar you have there.

That is Brigadier General Jack Ripper from Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb by Stanley Kubrick, obsessed by his vital fluids being stolen.
Sterling Hayden in real life was a very fine man, in my humble opinion.

Ah, 500 Miles; that was a kind of song for my wife and I before we were married. I'd travel from Dundee in Scotland (where I was at University) to the south of England (where Sue was at University) every weekend to be with her. It was about 500 miles, obviously

BTW, it's 500 miles, not 5,000 - you Americans, always exaggerating

Ooh, I think there were a few years of my life that I sang that song constantly... the words I knew anyway. I had this lovely Scottish accent while I sang it too. Do do do do.. *do do do do*

Yep, bigger here. We have to translate the song so it makes sense. 500 miles is nothing. It wonʻt even get me to the mainland US. 5000 might just about get me to my family.

Right, 500 miles is a day trip(per), another great song.
