Virgil's Aeneid was a main text in the subject of Latin which,
amazingly, I did for over 13 years a long time ago. I like seeing
the name mentioned. Mention it again any time you like.

That Troy film, the one with that Brad Pitt fellow (I can barely
stand him in anything) looks like a pile of concocted shit. You
bought it? Don't you have video hire places in America?
