Re: (TV) Another Bad Guy - Stalingrad

["Brian Burns" <bburns@laplaza.org>]

I remember going from London to Paris via Calais and it took about 5
hours to get to Calais, so in my mind it was an oblique reference to
London, but I suppose it could be any number of places. I would have
liked Stalingrad better if I had known about the metro station - I
could never get anything out of those lyrics (what? WWII?)
