Cheers, Dav. I've read that before in my last year of secondary school I should think, circa 1879. I'm sat here chuckling at seeing that in the middle of threads about soap operas and other shite!  |  |

Interesting read, having now been to vesuvius and pompeii.
Wonder whether the film will stay close to the reality of what was written here or dramatise it into something film watchers expect! |  |

It's a fascinating board this. With all the usual nonsense being occasionally interupted with flashes of erudition from Dav and Lohengrin. |  | | |

Let's hope they don't try to jazz it up. It's dramatic and fascinating enough as it is.
I too hope they use Pliny the Younger as part of their research. | |

It's being directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, so there will be minimal characterisation and lots and lots of splosions. |  |

Thanks, Eddie. That's the main reason I like this board.
Lohengrin and I are not the only ones who post interesting stuff, and not by a long shot. I can name at least a dozen or two off the top of my head. A couple of dozen others who don't initiate many threads make very valuable contributions. | |

I imagine when they were evacuating people from Herculaneum, the boats were delayed for two hours because officials in Pompeii made all the refugees take a circular route around the backstreets before they were allowed to get on..... |  | | |
