    You are a great man, Sir.
    I never get tired of listening to your The Little Prince audiobook.
    I have listened to it more than 10 times literally! It is amazing.

      This is not gentleman. This is a nazi trash. This is the words he spoke about one proud nation and about one proud country while terrorist countries bombed that same country. Just like Ukraine now. But that country had no ally like Ukraine have US, British and part of Europe on her side. And that country was not nazistic....
      Peter Ustinov:
      "It is unfortunate for all that no moral issue has ever been clearer. Any attempt to plea-bargain with outlaws and renegades will only be at the expense of honor, decency and self-respect. The Serbs, are two-dimensional people with a craving for simplicity and an ideology so basic it can be understood without effort. They need enemies, not friends, to focus their two-dimensional ideas. Life for them is a simple tune, never an orchestration, or even a pleasant harmony. Animals make use of their resources with far greater felicity than these retorted creatures, whose subscription to the human race is well in arrears.".
      Peace of human trash.

    56:50 - At the end of the 2nd year

    57:45 - I left Messier Saint-Denis's office & prepared to face the world.
    58:04 - The cock crowed twice & I was given another chance.
    58:27 - I accepted & made plans to leave home at the 1st pay day
    58:32 - Unfortunately, that master of the dramatic, Adolph Hitler, opened
    before we even had a chance to go into rehearsal.
    58:40 - And, with him as impresario, I slowly prepared to
    play a part I was totally unsuited too
    58:47 - for the worst pay; in a run lasting over 4 years.
    58:51 - Fortunately for me I was allowed a brief whiff of
    freedom before going back to school in the ARMY as
