Advantages: A swashbuckling charge down memory lane! Disadvantages: It isn't very PC and nor does it have great depth.
'The Vikings' is a 1hr 51min movie from the 50s starring Kirk Douglas, available at a very low price on DVD.
Looking back in his autobiography, 'Climbing the mountain', Kirk Douglas had a lot to say about 'Spartacus'. I can see why because it was a huge movie with lots of gladiators forming an army to challenge even the mighty Romans. However, a film of his from the 50s that I loved dearly but which he hardly mentions, was 'The Vikings''. I like it more than 'Spartacus'.
Directed by Richard Fleischer, 'The Vikings' was released when I was four way back in 1958. It did the rounds of cinemas quite regularly in Birmingham in the following years which is how it was that when I was eight I found myself, wide-eyed and in awe of this movie. Why? Because the world it depicted was colourful, exciting and filled with larger than life ...
Advantages: Interesting, fun & friendly Disadvantages: The technology can fail; a bit short on detail in places
"You may experience a little time turbulence" we were informed. "Just a little shaking; it's nothing to be alarmed about". We were sat on benches in a small room that forms the Jorvik's equivalent of the TARDIS, as the screen in front of us scrolled back through about a thousand years of York history. Museums have clearly changed since I were a nipper.
Emerging from the time capsule, we were then to be taken on another journey. Carriages slung from an overhead track, were to take us from the riverbank up through the streets of the Viking settlement of Jorvik. It was dark, and dank, and just ever so slightly smelly?no-where near as bad as I suspect it would have been, but enough for atmosphere.
We hadn't expected any of this (not least because we'd been aiming for a different museum entirely, but that's another story ...
Advantages: Large range of cheap smart clothes Disadvantages: none
Burtons is just the sort of place I always seem to end up in when I go shopping. Its not that I really buy that much stuff there (I'm a bit scruffy most of the time), but just being there is something you have to do.
The shop has a very classy image when compared to others in the high street. They sell some real quality clothes at some very reasonable prices. If I was to be buying anything at all smart, I'd always head straight for Burtons.
I bought a suit there this year, and the staff were very helpful. After just a second of looking through their stock, a woman approached me to see if she could help. I obviously did need a bit of help because I hadn't needed a nice suit before. She took all the necessary measurements and I was actually out of the shop again fairly quickly. I also bought some shirts, ties and a pair ...
