Hadn't heard from Per in a couple days. Wonder if he got swept up in the Stockholm rioting? Ringleader? [;)]

Watched the vid of the psycho from Woolwich... Scary stuff.

Nutjob? Check. Home-grown? Sounds like it. Shootin' is too good for 'em.

They may or may not be home grown, they certainly are nut jobs. But, there are plenty of actual home grown nut jobs out there who are probably gearing up for a fight against those who are a "threat". I've already seen more than a few people who seem to think that Enoch had some good ideas. [8|] The extremists in this case were Muslims and in the tiny minds of some that means that Muslims = extremists.


As one of my more reasonable friends put it: I don't think the skin head fanatics are going to ask questions before they go for anyone that fits a stereotype.


Bad times all round. [:(]

Which is of course the intent of these assholes.

Did you see the vid? Not a thick English accent there? Pretty hard to duplicate for a foreign-born national.

There was a very, very evil method of execution in eastern Laos. I would be more than happy to apply such a method in these cases. It may...deter...even die hard fanatics.

I agree. Shooting them would be an honorable death. In a case like this, I'm a traditionalist. Hanging is the way to go. Besides, It's green! No electricity , re-newable, re-usable and bio-degradable! [:D] Pity the UK and the EU gave up the death penalty years ago. [:(] No doubt they'll get the max, maybe 7 years. [X(]

Does Sharia law call for any special death penatly? Be-heading? [&:]

Yes on the "green" part of hanging! Nobody can argue that! [:D]

NoDak: Aren't you supposed to be on your surfboard riding the wavecrest from that bursting dam?

Or do we need to send the Dambusters out?

Naw. VFA-195 is all the way over in Atsugi. And 617 squadron is busy doing re-enactments and going to parties. [:D]

Naw, looks like the dam is going to hold. So I got out and practiced panic and dispair for nothing.[:'(]

Hi all,

Good morning!

Good morning friends.

In the lighter moments of World War II, the Spitfire was used in an unorthodox role: bringing beer kegs to the men in Normandy.

During the war, the Heneger and Constable brewery donated free beer to the troops. After D-Day, supplying the invasion troops in Normandy with vital supplies was already a challenge. Obviously, there was no room in the logistics chain for such luxuries as beer or other types of refreshments. Some men, often called sourcers, were able to get wine or other niceties from the land or rather from the locals. RAF Spitfire pilots came up with an even better idea.

The Spitfire Mk IX was an evolved version of the Spitfire, with pylons under the wings for bombs or tanks. It was discovered that the bomb pylons could also be modified to carry beer kegs. According to pictures that can be found, various sizes of kegs were used. Whether the kegs could be jettisoned in case of emergency is unknown. If the Spitfire flew high enough, the cold air at altitude would even refresh the beer, making it ready for consumption upon arrival.
