I didn't get around to saying how much I enjoyed this. There is geat humour and technique in this one (or should I say nine?) I'm especially impressed by the sheer audacity, confidence and even decadence of buttressing the walls. It's like fighting (...) (20 years ago, 12-Mar-05, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
