@minimusmax

Great novel by George Orwell, it's definetely worth reading. Theres also a movie adaption, but i recommend reading the book first.

[PSTroopers]

I wonder if I rip this song straight from the record if youtube could still track it, without that digitally remastered nonsense embedded in it.

lol nearly everybody's here 'cos of 1984...

[KairiMcEwin]

1984? I could not read that again. Yet it brought me here.

[Verozzani]

@Waitwat11 Agreed. I know it's "merely fiction", but the parts about Julia being "a perfect conversion" (probably a blatant lie) and Julia laughing with O'Brien and Charrington in the corridor make me bawl.

[Yyansquared]

does she sing the verse "i sold you and you sold me?"

Late in 1940, [Winston Churchill] told Colville 'he quite understood the exasperation which so many English people feel with the American attitude of criticism [of how the British fought the Axis] combined with ineffective assistance [USA's unfair trading terms and neutrality towards the Axis]; but we must be patient and we must conceal our irritation. (All this was punctuated with bursts of "Under the spreading Chestnut Tree".)'

Max Hastings: "Finest Years: Churchill as Warlord 1940-45"
