Oliver Twist movie
Dude, concerning that Oliver Twist movie you posted.....
Man, that Bill Sykes charcter sure is a psycho...
Wouldn't want to be confronted with someone like that in real life!!!
Yep , Sykes sure was a psycho . .

The irony is that when I first watched that movie back then it somehow reminded me of myself. . .

First of all , for a long time that I was without a job after meeting my wife the two of us also would also sit in our roof flat making the night through to alcoholic beverage . .

Second , also ironically my personal last name happens to be Insterburg-Sykes ( yes , I have a double name ; My mother was née Insterburg , Sykes was the last name of my father's side of the family . . )


Wow. .

Concerning onomatology, Insterburg is a town in the former German eastern region of East Prussia ( today under Kaliningrad . .) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernyakhovsk

Syke is a town in Lower-Saxony ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syke )
