The actress’ name is Marina not Martina but the biggest mistake is it’s not about a 60 year old man terrorising a forum with a spreadsheet

The legend of Beowulf is an ancient, centuries old story.
Some say that Grendel was present at the first reading and picked out that character who is a baddie as his hero.

Possibly. I think these tales were doing the rounds before chickens and eggs existed.

Was taught Beowulf for O level by an eccentric teacher who used to recite it in the original old English.

Come on Chaucer was Middle English

Walking my puppy over the park the other day, we strayed upon another dog, whose owner introduced it as @Otis . I was immediately suspicious of the animal!
