Thanks. Growth ring is new to me? Perhaps new line of cards form Hallmark?

Trees add a growth ring every year. That's what I get for trying to be witty before having enough coffee. [:D]

We need some sort of Thread accepted way of indicating sarcasm...
Maybe using a particular font colour. [:D]

I think the confusion, upset and the resulting bun fights are more fun. It's traditional and we all love a good bun fight.

Luftwaffe - Creating the Operational Air War 1918-40, by James Corum.
Purported to destroy a slew of the myths about the inter- and early-war Luftwaffe, it's poorly argued and written. Call me old-fashioned, but if you want to debunk "conventional wisdom", you have to present evidence to the contrary. The author fails to do so.
He's an obvious Luftwaffe fanboy, and it shows.

My line, that is. Sue you, I will...
I would loooove to see Yoda get cross examined. [:D]
Don't think that would work out too well for the examiner.
Prosecutor: "So, Mr. Yoda, where were you on the night of..." (Wham!) Levitated chair send prosecutor sprawling
Mr. Yoda: "Impertinent your questions are..."
Prosecutor: (muttered) "No...ugh...further questions your honor."

Same here. It was awful, like The Da Vinci Code.
Good, I thought I was missing something. I gave up and got
A History of Modern Britain instead.
Not to be some uppity Yank, but isn't that title an oxymoron? Or is there a timeline for British history that is generally regarded as "modern" versus "classic" or "pre-modern". Not having much history for the settlement of North America (well, not as much as Brittania), I genuinely don't know the answer.

Me: Yes
Him: Well, she's pregnant
Me: You nugget

And I shall teach said kid all the words to "Ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn'y have fallen in love with?" and possibly "Turning Japanese" too.
LOL, although it's a bit late for the " Turning Japanese "
Anyway good luck with being a Grandad. I am not ready for that yet. Not that I have any say-so in the matter [;)]

[sarcasm font on]
Pfft. What an old-fashioned view of evidence-based science or reason. I hope you're not suggesting that we revert to objective and rational discussion too?
