G506

Have a great day, Jim!

I can't see where Political Correctness comes into this. St George is a multi national, multi cultural saint remembered around the world, including: Aragon, Catalonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, India, Iraq, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, Serbia and Russia, as well as the cities of Genoa, Amersfoort, Beirut, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Kumanovo, Ljubljana, Pomorie, Preston, Qormi, Rio de Janeiro, Lod, Barcelona, Moscow, Tamworth and the Maltese island of Gozo, as well as a wide range of professions, organizations and disease sufferers.

 

With so many nations claiming him as their own, can't see why we can't also......Certainly I don't see how his flag can be connected to The BNP!

 

 

 

You really would have to live in a fanciful world to think that St George was uniquely British or had anything to do with England in particular!

 

Apart from the Christian tradition ,Muslim literature also depicts George as a martyr.

 

Personally speaking I can see no point in celebrating a dead Roman soldier who reputedly carried out infeasible mythical deeds.

The points you quote are (as far as I know) all correct; but to me your post misses the point.

I'm proud to be English (and British). As a country we need a figurehead, but ultimately thats all it is is - a figurehead.

St George happens to be that figurehead.

So every year I will raise my glass partly to St George, but more than that, to England.

I respect your viewpoint Mike, but I will never agree with it.

Hi Doug, welcome!

The T25 project is cool

Welcome Stefano!

Do you have any pictures to share of your models?

Welcome Fernando, great to have you here!

Hi Marlin,

I think these were peculiar just to Series 2a military 88 and 109s (?)

BTW, I have a spare military front wing assembly to sell if you're interested, PM me if you need it, I am based in Southampton so not too far from you

Happy Easter to you too, Mark!

You need to come up to Slab Common tomorrow ( sun morning and you can show him a tank or two ) :wow:

I dont think Slab common is a possibility today, after the the night we had, the little monkeys!

:yawn:

Yeah but yoy don't know what he was thinking!! :cool2: Jump forward about 18 years........ 'Dad my car broke! I'll just leave you the keys so you can fix it, and I'll take yours'. :-D

:wow:

I hadn't thought of that, Tony!

Thanks Rosie! William wouldn't settle earlier so I took him outside to show him the inside of the shed, his eyes couldnt have been open any wider!

Thats my boy!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy St Georges Day! I shall be cracking open a celebratory bottle of cider shortly!

Mrs G506 and the little 506s came home from hospital today, and on St Georges day!

The house is chaos, but very happy!!!

i cant enter robot wars as i dont live with my mother and have kissed a girl .

 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

What about if you bead blasted it?

Suggest you have a look at post number 4............

I use a 'Buffalo' hard drive at work, it has been spot on. I use it every day, it travels with me, never let me down.

On stainless steel I have used bead blasting to dull down the finish, which worked superbly. I've used the same principle with alloy, but great care obviously needs to be taken due to the material being softer

congratulations to you all , :yay:

Thanks Private!

WHAT who for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pub I was in at the time was very calm

:-D

Only kiddin'

Thanks Neil,

Hippos are rated as 10 tons, so that may just be enough to carry all the nappies we'll need for War & Peace!

It has to have been the calmest and most relaxed birth ever, incredible

Yep, have'nt been able to stop grinning for some time now!!!

Congratulations!

Thanks Enigma!

Well with twins you have the perfect opertunity to buy a Dodge WC51! Plenty of room for two parents two carry cots, two push chairs, economy size nappy bag, and when they get older. Mesh around the back and a good stout lock! :-D

I think Mrs G506 may just brutally murder me if I invested in a Dodge right now, although certainly a very practical truck!

Great news, special time for you all.

 

- just wondering how Mrs G got pregnant in the first place :coffee:

I have no idea, being the sweet and innocent little lad that I am............................

:angel:

Rule of thumb: They will be kept in till the full peiod of incubation. Take as much advice as you can from the SCBU staff, they will give a lot of good advice.

Hi Tony,

yes that sounds about right to me. The staff have been superb; very dedicated and kind.

No problem Rosie, off up there shortly, will text you the latest and their location
