I tried with Silent War, but the IJN sprung their new ASW dog paw on the unsuspecting USN

The 3rd Shock Army was once chewed to oblivion by a marauding feline. VGs NATO was the target. It was the same cat that pulled down the Christam tree.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Cats are bastards [:D]

I wouldn't even dream of setting up a boardgame with Small Child MkI fully operational. Especially as he found my wallet this morning and emptied it. At least that's what Mrs Dixie told me.
Mmm hmmm...so you believed her then, did you? [;)]

Once upon a time, when our realtor was over for a nice long chat, Mk. 1 daughter unit rummaged through her purse unseen. She emerged with a greenback with George Washington's face on it. Our realtor was a good sport about it and let us keep the dollar bill for our scrap book. We've proudly kept it as a keepsake for "Baby's first petty larceny." [:D]

Wifey wants an indoor dog.  Not going to happen.  Actually it will, because when she is happy, everyone is happy.

Ugh. Sold to the knackers. [:(] For you naval types, which is worse-sinking her at sea (possibly as a target) or letting her get picked apart by the knackers?

Hi all,



Sad... [:(]

BTW, there are just 4 Eurofighters in the Falklands... if Argentinians would like to try something now the UK is unable to do anything about it (i.e. no more RN fleet like it was in the 1982)...


Leo "Apollo11"

Just what can Argentina actually do though? The UK might only have 4 Eurofighters out there but they're a damn sight better than anything else in that region. Plus the Falklands garrison is larger and better equipped and prepared than in 1982.

The Argentine navy and air force are not in any great shape really.

Argentina has elections coming up in October and I guess Kirchner is trying to divert attention away from the dire economic straits the place is in. Plus the US signed up to the OAS demand that the UK open negotiations which has only encouraged them. [:@]. I don't think Obama likes us very much either...
If it's any consolation, we don't like him much either.

My boat was used for torpedo testing and then became a reef off the Delaware coast.  Much, much better fate than being turned into razor blades.  [:(]

I haven't served, so I can only guess-but that would be my guess with most sailors as well.

Hello ,

How are you today,i hope you are fine? I am Edwin Maxwell the son of the late Minister of Finance in Liberia,i am 19 years of age and presently at the refugee camp in Ghana,i am contacting you in respect of my two trunk boxes which is already in your country with the diplomat,the foreign beneficiary who was suppose to receive the trunk boxes for me was so greedy asking for 60% which we agreed on 25% before the boxes left Ghana for your country.

I had to stop to the delivery of the boxes to him,please i am contacting you to help me receive my two trunk boxes because i have mapped out 35% for you.

I want to inform you that the diplomat has been there for days now waiting to hear from my foreign beneficiary to carry out the delivery to and the content of my two consignment boxes is Money $25,000.000.00 ( Twenty Five Million United States Dollars ) which i will like to invest in a profitable business.I will like to invest part of the money into these three investment but, if there is any other business that is better than what I am suggesting,I will be very glad to follow your
advice.

(1). Real estate.(2). The transport industry.(3). Hotel managements.I want you to know that the diplomat does not know the true content of the boxes is containing money so please when contacting him for the delivery to you don't tell him about the content.

I want you to know also that i have paid for the delivery charges which is $8,500.00 ( Eight Thousand Five Hundred United States Dollars ) all you have to do is contact the diplomat.Please help me by receiving the boxes,for as soon as you receive them i will be coming over to join you,so we can start the investment together and i will start living a good life again.

Please kindly send me your direct telephone number so i can call you.Get back to me so i can give you the contact of the diplomat.

Thanks and GOD'S Blessings,

Edwin Maxwell.

I know someone (or it might be eight someones) who might be interested in his proposal. Japan is sure to have a personality that will take him up on the offer, with the added advantage that they all use the same e-mail address [;)]

Nasty nasty storm last night in Kansas. In Pratt we had 60 mph wind, hail, and rain. My office, 30 miles west, it was 90 mph!! We had to chase fertilizer tanks all over town this morning that blew away from our lot. A lot of customers lost fields to hail and greensnap.

In this picture, the tank blew in the "Barbeque Man's" house, taking out some pilars in the front. Do you think our rates will go up 35% now?

Around here we worry about chasing mobile homes . . . fertilizer tanks aren't much of a problem.

Springer Spaniel is a nice dog. It's in the "real" dog range of 40-50 pounds. Bigger than a yapper, but can still fit in your lap. Has a personality that will turn any heart; even yours Jeff. When she's happy the dog is happy, and when the dog is happy you are happy, and when you are happy, she is happy. Aristotlean logic in action.

I am a member of ESRA (Springer Rescue) and we got some utter gloss sweetness, that are utterly beautiful, looking for forever homes. Doesn't have to be a Springer, rescue people talk to ech other, so if she's got something else in mind, perhaps we can help.

Bottom line, having a dog tends to make us more ... human.

Anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to shout.

Ciao. J

Argentina needs to do nothing. The Falklands will be in Argentine hands soon enough. For some reason, the US government wants it that way, so no doubt our snivelling politicians (whichever party is in power at the time) will bend over, whilst simultaneously p***** all over the memories of the brave soldiers, sailors, airmen and indeed civilians that gave their lives to win the islands back in 1982.

I enjoy the dog we have, but she is outside..  She hunts with me, fishes with me, and all of the other cool things we do.  The cats, my little boy, the wife, and I are meant to be in our house at this time. It just seems like anytime I am at a house with a dog, it smells, and the dog is annoying as all get out.

Negotiate? Either ****-off or get bent Argentina [:'(] Bottom line is that the islands are British, and have been from before Argentina was even a country, and the inhabitants want to remain so. I want lay claim to downtown Buenos Aires, doesn't mean it is mine.

What happened to the Stuka's undercarriage? Why is Danny Dyer still making films?


Its a Ju-847. They didn't have fixed undercarriage.


The one above it must be the actual JU-87 since it does have an undercarriage. [8|]
