  1. Some of them look considerably older than that! Then again, trench warfare probably aged people beyond their years. 😁
  2. Three from one of my favourite films Paths of Glory Fun fact 1. The film was made in Germany and all the extras playing French soldiers are actually German. Does anyone else think that some of them look quite elderly for infantrymen, or is it just me? Fun fact 2. The singer in the third clip became Mrs. Stanley Kubrick.
  3. Met ;him once when he was appearing on stage at the Bradford Alhambra. Nice bloke, very friendly. RIP.
  4. Especially if you add 'beautiful', a beautiful American aircraft. Beautiful is a word Trump seems inordinately fond of.
  5. You've certainly piqued my interest!
  6. What the hell does that mean?
  7. Always liked the Frankie Howerd version. Wagner played really loud can also be good for annoying people; to quote Harold Steptoe, 'Music not only soothes the savage breast, it can give you a bleeding headache as well.'
  8. I hope you got your just desserts.
  9. Or is it just a half you need, a semi-colon?
  10. Outstanding work, both figures, well done! Incidentally, I'm sure I saw the big fella in a pub in Kilburn some years ago, Someone had just spilled his Guinness. Unmistakable!
  11. Additionally, isn't the in-flight refuelling system incompatible with ours, boom rather then drogue? Is that going to be more work to redesign the system, which will put the price up, and probably delay the project?
  12. Weren't rules made to be broken?
  13. Isn't it only for certain rides?
  14. The link worked ok for me, and the profanity certainly didn't bother me. A lot of what DeLorenzo wrote about the US also applies to the UK. It's depressing.
  15. Buy one, get one free?
  16. Would I lie to you?
  17. Re Mosquito Squadron, when I first saw it I laughed at the idea of rolling Highball mines into tunnels, then many years later I read 'Most Secret Squadron' and discovered that 618 Squadron had trained to do just that! I still prefer 633 Squadron, though, of only for the theme tune.
  18. Does a 6' invisible rabbit count?
  19. Now you've got the perfect excuse to start ship modelling! Authorised by SWMBO!
  20. Do you already have the kits in the stash, or will it be an additional, unforeseen, expense?
  21. Would that be the same as a money-pit?
  22. How about this one?
