Finally I had decided to read from beginning to end Laurence's ...'Triumph'
"A triumph he completed it. 672 pages....

I have several copies my most treasured a 1st edition, I once gave to Bruce on his 70th.
He had been a Lawrence fan since childhood, Oh! and any other famous train robbers for that matter.
One of Lawrences on the hejaz railway.
Nick did Peters death mask and his daughter Kate has some wicked stories about him.
Lawrence wasn't the only "englishman that loves the desert"
Try, William Thesiger he who mapped the Empty Quarter and more all for Queen & Country.
He employed a couple of right tough young Bedu, a right pair of 'camel rustlers...
Ps: Nick & Omar at Peter's funeral.
'They were both drunk!

Just watched this I've never seen it before but Ralph Fiennes does a good Lawrence.

The big mistake in all Lawrence of Arabia films is they always portray Lawrence's dad as a Baronet 7th class.
Admittedly, Sir Thomas sh**ged his governess Sarah but,
it was his chauffeur who sired Laurence when they eloped to live in Wales..
These small, but important film inaccuracies are important because they could change history.
Oh! "My best ever No1 film of all time must be Wag the Dog...just saying...
