You think "Titanic" is a monster bore? Well, I don't agree to that. I
watched it on my birthday (which was a few days ago), had a beer in advance

is quite necessary, sometimes.

Of course you're right on the "titanic" point. In which texts does EJ talk
about the sinking of the "Titanic"?

Best regards.
