The facts of this story have been known for almost 30 years, with only the one question needing to be answered: why did he turn to the darkside. People will go just to get that one nagging question answered.Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852569465893563139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9501938.post-1118063529412035292005-06-06T14:12:00.000+01:002005-06-06T14:12:00.000+01:00Tommo - Welcome to Think of England, and thanks fo...Tommo - <BR/><BR/>Welcome to Think of England, and thanks for your comments.<BR/><BR/>----<BR/><BR/>I didn't get out of the field trip after all, as under peer pressure I went along to watch Star Wars last night.<BR/><BR/>As expected, wonderful visuals, dire film-making.
