I don´t know much about cars but since when is an M5 a midclass BMW? A midclass is more like something with a 3 in it not the ones with the 5s. BMW has a 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 series, so 5 series cars would be in the midclass. No, a 3 or 5 series with a reasonably sized 2 or 3 litre engine could be cla...

Shep were any studies done on making the two bombays just one big one? I was thinking if that were done, then could it carry the Grand Slam bomb or Tallboy or would the B-29 be unable to carry those bombs. Could'nt the B-29 already carry 1 grandslam or 2 tallboys (altho not in the bomb-bay itself i...

I liked it, altho i agree with the comments that its probably a little too slow paced (apart from the last 100 pages of the naked god which is ridiculously fast-paced). It's also slightly confusing (or at least i think it would be to younger readers) in the way it jumps from character to character a...

Well I've cut down on my drinking now so I only go out on a Tuesday, Friday and Saturday (and sometimes Sunday) but i suppose according to the 5 drinks rule I'm a binge drinker.
