Favourite Military Battles.

Always had a keen interest in military history, and this is one of my favourite battles. 

In 9AD,three Roman legiins were sent  into the Teutoburg Forest in Germany, then known as Germinia,to deal with a tribal uprising. It was to prove an utter catastrophic defeat for the three Roman legions, as they were all perfectly ambushed by many Germanic tribes in the forest, led by Arminuis. These videos from YouTube will explain how the battle turned out. 


Although Arminuis successfully defeated and practically annihilated the three Roman legions, he could not get the tribes back together again. This would lead to a brutal revenge, by the Roman commander:Germanicus, who successfully defeated Arminuis in battle, and would proceed to massacre thousands. So much for admiring the Roman Empire as a civilised people. To me,they were horrible, cruel and sadastic bastards.

The Meg.

Still can't believe I watched this film in 2018,and it's a pretty good action caper. Obviously, I'm still a huge Jason Statham fan,and he was brilliant in this offering, as he and a group of scientists battle a Megladon shark.There's a lot of great sequences, and also,Jason's character does help certain girls in distress, or being menaced by the shark. I still found it mildly disappointing, that the writers didn't include any full treatment scenes for the girls.  Overall though, it's very enjoyable, and I still have to see the sequel, and perhaps there may be a third offering.  One of my favourite moments in the film: Amazing to see Sophia Cio is now 17.She did really well here. Li Bingbing was a huge favourite of mine in the film,as Jason's character has to save her from being on the shark's menu.As seen from one of the film posters here,she goes down in a glass chamber when the shark grabs it,threatening her life.Fortunately,our hero saves the day....

Hello and Welcome!

 Hello everyone, this is my latest and newest blog,that will contain all the damsels in distress stories that have been written for me by my favourite authors. You will also find all the pictures and comic style pages,that have been done by my favourite artists. Sadly though, not all of them are available anymore.  Regrettably, I will write damsels in distress stories here too,and whilst you'll see how terrible I am at writing my own stuff, and especially my shocking grammar presentation, I still hope you'll forgive me and hopefully appreciate the effort.  Granted, it won't be to everyone's liking, but if you love the old fashioned damsel in distress theme,where the very pretty heroines are seized by the bad guys, who tie the lovely ladies up and gag them,then I hope you'll enjoy it here.  Just a quick reminder, I don't support any violence against anyone, especially women. This is pure fantasy, so if you're after darker content, I strongly suggest you go so...

Sophie Cia.

  I first watched Sophie in The Meg way back in 2008,when she was only a child actor.Hard to believe Sophie is now 17. I don't think she's performed any full treatment scenes in her acting career, but it would be nice to see. I was pleased to hear she was in The Meg 2,as well as Li Bingbing returning. Another very pretty young lady who I’ll be using in future art projects. The same will apply to all the gorgeous girls who performed in both films.
