William of Malmesbury

He didn't eat or stop for gas. No radio. Like when you were a kid. The old man treated every road trip like a moon shot. You brought yoru grub for the trip or you went hungry. You held it or you pissed in the milk carton. Wasn't anything on the radio anyway.

Errol Flynn was an excellent fencer. He also knew his lines, something I greatly respect in an actor. Of course there was one glaring inconsistency with his professionalism.
