Anyone see the live prog on C5 last night on Vesuvius, Pompii and Herculaneum, it was very interesting to say the least. Some 40 years ago I accually went down inside Vesuvius 22 years after its last erruption. From being very small I was always interested in this Volcano as the last time it errupted in 1944 my Father was accually there to see the event, not by choice, but at the insistance of HMG. I also spent some 4 hours wandering round Pompii which was also a great experiance, the one thing that really struck me was there were more lizards than In the sci fi classic V, which has just been rerun on the sci fi channel on Sky. If anyone gets the chance to visit this area on holiday I can recommend a trip to these two places, as its something you'll remember for the rest of your life.
