Javito1986 14 Posted September 16, 2011 Nonsense! There is a world of difference between just now noticing and just now whining Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted September 16, 2011 Indeed, Javito! We have brought up all gentlemanly conduct not to whine for six long months, Lou! (Damn, is it already six months ago? Where did the summer happen?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted September 16, 2011 . I promise Gentlemen, once the cold grey days of winter settle in here again in the north country I will get back to Herr Blum's saga. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 16, 2012 . Well Gents, I have at long long last gotten back to our German hero, Leutnant Paul Ritter von Blum. It felt like coming home to an old friend, honestly it did. Enjoy! Paul Blum's Story Cheers! Lou . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjw 48 Posted April 16, 2012 I'm late getting on to this post but have to say "that's a fine piece of work". I hardly seem to get time to fly OFF let alone be that creative. Thanks for making it available to us all. Cheers, and have a fine cup of tea on me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Great to see Paul back in action, Lou! I had not dared to ask for him again; thought he might have got shot down, or that you had lost interest in him. But now he is back, and flying. If I may help with a correction - if the new flyer meant to say: "Did you see how that Frog partially exploded in midair?!", then it would be in German: "Did you see how the Frosch practically exploded..." Frog (singular) = Frosch; Frogs (plural) = Frösche While the British often say "Frogs" for the French; from the Germans I read more "Franzmann" or "der Franzos". But however - German grammar is most tricky. Paul loves his coffee with only cream - no sugar! That's how I like my coffee too! Very sympathic, that man!

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 16, 2012 . Robert, thank you and I'm glad you will be enjoying Paul's story. Olham, thank you as well, both for the kudos and the correction. I went back and forth on that word because I could not sort out if it was one of those that was spelled the same in the plural and the singular. I have made the change. And coffee with cream only is the way I drink it too. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dej 17 Posted April 16, 2012 Ganz ausgezeichhnet gemacht, als immer! Good to see Paul back, he's such a decent fellow. Just one point because it IS at the start... 'A week of the worst winter weather Leutnant Ritter von Blum could remember ever seeing in the Alsace had just past'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 16, 2012 . How in the name of Noah Webster did I miss THAT?! Thanks for pointing our my error Dej. You know, I even did a proof read of the whole thing too just before I posted it. Guess it shouldn't have been 90 proof. . And Olham, perhaps we are twin brothers of different mothers. .

Olham 164 Posted April 16, 2012 Yeah, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in "TWINS - Only their mum could tell them apart"! (Question is, who would play which role? Guess I'm too tall for DeVito, but then again...) Lou, the problem with making a proof read of your own typed text is, that you may later overlook the same mistake you made earlier. Hapens to me all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Dirt 1 Posted April 17, 2012 Lou I have been away for awhile playing a sim of my other love Americain submaine warfare in WWII against the INJ. I missed the forum over here today and stopped by. I was happy to see a new installment on your young hero. I immediatly went there to read. your writing and storytelling were great as usual. I may have to remove myself from under the ocean of the Pacific and soar in the Skies of Flanders again soon. I sometimes forget what a fantastic forum this is with so many fine people. Thanks for such a talented story writer. I always find myself absorbed in young Paul's world. I read many books on WWI and WWII, most which are non-fiction. I do believe that if you were to write a fictional historic novel I would try to be the first to buy it. I would of course ask that it be autographed. Thank you so much for your writing, I much appreciate it. Thanks John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 28, 2012 . Wow! High praise John, many thanks indeed Sir, and I am very pleased to know how much you are enjoying Paul's adventures. And, since folks here are still enjoying the young Ritter's saga, here is the next installment: Paul Blum's Story Cheers! Lou . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 28, 2012 Damn, this time you misled me fine, Lou - can't say anymore; won't spoil it for other readers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted April 28, 2012 Interessant. Gibt es einen neuen Piloten in der Staffel auch? Bobbi Juing, vielleicht? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted April 29, 2012 . Olham, I hope I didn't upset you too much with the last episode. Dej, I don't recall a Dallas in Germany. Although ... Dallas ... Dörzbach ... hmmm ... do I see another sequel in the offing? . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 29, 2012 Lou, I was a bit worried about such an early end for the young Ritter - I wanted to see, how he would get on further north. He will eventually - if he still lives then - be in Northern Flanders, which will get really tough. Dej, I guess such immoral guys like JR would have found it hard in the time back then in Germany. Although - if he was so rich, he might have been possible then too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javito1986 14 Posted April 29, 2012 Gave me a fright there Lou. Thought he was done for this time. Great installment, here's to the next one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
