  1. Oh i WISH! All I need is to win the lottery. Love to do a Dodge tour round the area.
  2. No get a proper vehicle, a Dodge, welcome to the most....friendly forum, though never be afraid to start a good argument!
  3. The problem is England Scotland and Wales and America, were the only 'Allied' home countrys not occupied. For the rest the occupation and the the fear happned within living memory. My generation was taught, and had as hero's those who were directly involved. The Third Reich had a policy of what would be described now as 'State Sponsored Terrorism'. Though social attitudes Genrally were diffrent then, The young people then were influenced and taught by the generation that had sufferd and fought in the Great War. Germany was not exactaly liked, but if Hitler had stopped in 1938 it is intresting to specualte what history may have thought of him. The SS doctrine was that Ayryan's are superior the rest of the 'lesser races' are there to be either treated as a commidity to do with as we wish, or exterminated as vermin. Anything that appears to'glorify' the showpiece force of the Third Reich is bound to be contreversial. Proves one thing, fanatics are dangerous, no matter who's side they are on. I have to say I was rather disquieted about Tom Hank's making Von Staffenberg out to be a 'hero'. He only turned antiHitler after a major head injury, and the Russian's were threatening his property. It seems the film conviently 'forgot' the plotters intention was not to end the war, but to persude the Allie's to join what was left of the german forces to defeat Russia. So as you see preuidice is still about.
  4. Appoligies!! apologies!!!!. :trustme:
  5. Why they have David Jason in them I do not know. He is totally unlike Albert or Rincewind! I don't like the TV or film versions. The pictures are must better when formed from the words of Terry! Also with PC, how are they going to get round Adora Belle smoking like a chimmney? It is a central part of the carechter in Going Postal and Making Money?
  6. Fuind out exactaly what it was! We'd like to know if any of us were right
  7. Lest we forget. Easy to decry , but depends on how the exhibits are presented.
  8. Ferrets and Land Rovers do share one trait. If either gets down a deep hole it can be a sod to get them out!
  9. Welcome Richard, I'm not far away. Nice to see 'The South' holding its end up again.
  10. Sure you wern't standing over them with an Attitude Adjuster? :-D
  11. Welcome, we need a few more soft skins, the Ferrets are getting above themslves at the moment.
  12. Cross country, I'd stick with the 51. The 62 was only a stopgap anyway. The engine is overworked the length the turning orbit. The 51 is juss right.
  13. Maybe because: :cool2:
  14. Bloody hell! they al make a fair price over here. when I working for MOD in the late ninties, the medical centre called me up. they had been doing a thourough clean out and had some stuff for me. 400 WW2 shell dressings! What sort of price would a set of WW2 webbing be to buy and post?
  15. Why's everybody keep picking on ME! :confused: I'm quite happy, my litle voices and the dried frog pills work fine...fine do you all HEAR! Haha HAAAAAAA HA HA! Holiday coming up thank God! Back to Jersey fro a bit of sanity!
  16. I'd have thought even Dorchester isn't proof against the stuff if it leacks. :-D
  17. Neil Oliver is the guy your'e thinking of. The answer is Tony Robinson= viewers. So sayinmg he is a nice guy with genuine interest and knowledge. A friend of mine worked for a plant hire company. Wessex Archeology, the Time Team company, phoned up to hire kit and asked could they have an account, a process usually taking several weeks. She then phoned Head Office about it and was told to give them £250,000 credit immediatley.
  18. I'd be more iclined to belive McEwen's Export, with Single Malt on command vehicles.
  19. Welcome in all of you! All member's get on like a house on fire. Ever seen a house on fire?
  20. The Dodge's Ruby and Katy, and the BSA folding bike are older than me, Katy is two years older than Ruby. The 101 was younger than me. The two current rebuilds are slightly younger than me, and younger than Tom. But I'm catching the Dodge's up. From fickle youth to ecentric old buffer without a pause.:cool2:
