Well during these COVID times I've just bought another 3 lengths of steel for another project that will keep me occupied and will see the rest of my corrugated roofing steel used up for another awning that this time will go over the front sliding door of my shed so that I can have that door open during an easterly driven rain event like the 1 that saw the floor inside in the shed partially flooded last Thursday here.

Cheers.

Well its not quite finished, but I'll do that tomorrow, though I have no more offcuts of corrugated left to get in my way now.

And I didn't need all 3 lengths of steel so I'll get a credit back on 1 tomorrow morning. :-D

Cheers.

Throughout the lockdowns, been reading & watching movies. Recently, been watching some of the classics.
While watching 1 or 2, my memory focused on a particular film that I had watched years ago on TV but sadly not in my collection.
At the time, could not think of the title, until this morning.
So Googled it. No joy. Well, it came up with the movie, but not the one I wanted.
Was quite sure that Bogie was the main star but the 1 Google found was the 1960 movie with Peter Falk & Stuart Whitman.

Got that 1. :-)
I did recall that I had it on video so scoured all my files & found the spreadsheet that listed them.
Took a bit of time as over several K's to look through.
It was Murder Inc 1951.

Why does Hollywood have to mess around with titles to suit their audiences?
In the UK, it is Murder Inc.
In the US it is The Enforcer.

I think Bogies most famous film might have been Casablanca made in the depths of WWII,
but he's a bit before my time, though I've seen quite a few b&w movies over the years.

The Enforcer for me is a Clint Eastwood “Dirty Harry” movie.
