Great story !!!

OK guys, since quite a few members seem to be carried away with this, lets try and get some order. Maybe this little fellow, having peed for almost 400 years, world famous in Belgium and Holland should be a honorary member of this thread: For some more info http://en.wikipedia....ki/Manneken_Pis

Of course stupid: it is SFPee 1 isn't it ?

Ha, ha, Michael, to be perfectly honest I CAN think of at least SOME Dachshünde that remind me of a Wiener Wurst so the idea of Dackelwurst is at least understandable...... . Thxs for the explanation anyway and as for Denmark: love it too !!!

sort of bird hit ?? The French really go for it !!

"Taupe Gun Trophy " .......

This is what you get in the Low Countries: Klu pilot long ago nursed his Hunter home after a bird hit, went to the mess to celebrate with a few beers and was taken away by the MP for interrogation after remains of the bird were found to be from a chicken......

Hey Michael, I became big friends with a dog owner in Danmark when we agreed that the country was named after the Great Dane dog, so we do know where the name Danmark comes from, but what is the role of the red sausages ? Being Dansk maybe Henrik can give his opinion too ?? Houdoe, Derk

After more than 30 years I gave up smoking (pipe, cigars after that) some 10 years ago at a random day without problems except for gaining weight .. Never inhaled anything directly,( not done with pipe and cigars), was always involved in a lot of sport (field hockey) and at tests and x-rays lungs were clean. I grew up in a time when smoking was very common. The Queen smoked, the Prime Minister smoked, my parents smoked, teachers smoked in the classroom, there were smoking compartments in the trains and trams complete with ashtrays etc. etc. My father and mother did not die because of smoking, but I knew people who did. So far so good, gave it up anyway,no trouble at all and not because someone told me so or forced me and I never had the urge to start smoking again And as for you von Baur, I'm with you, your examples are good, your style is honest, as are the comments in this thread. And I also discourage my kids and others. My wife quit smoking some 20 years ago when she was pregnant of our eldest daughter. But what I thouroughly dislike -if not positively hate- however, is the fundamentalistic way the (what I call) Anti Smoking Lobby is agressively forcing one measure after another down everyone's throat to ban smoking, sometimes by sneaky lawmaking, also at private societies and clubs and places where nobody is bothered.. As far as I'm concerned I shall allow people to have a smoke - also for instance in my own office-, especially if they politely ask permission (which is more or less the habit nowadays) unless they positively trouble other people or if someone asks them to stop it because of illness or discomfort. That's it, everyone should make the decision for himself, but should reasonably RESPECT other people (but that goes for the anti smokers too)............... And to tell the thruth, I positively LIKE it if someone lights a real good cigar after a good dinner..........

JAWOHL !!!!!!!! :good:

Hey Lexx, you should offer to take pictures at divorces, THAT must be great business

I can sincerely recommend Kevin's readme's........ They are of a very high standard, are witten in beautiful language with a touch of Shakespeare every now and then, they read like litterature ,and at the same time they have a brilliant plot and remind you of a Tom Clancy novel ("Wrench's Storm Rising") when they end up with a spectacular finish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, guess every airforce has its charming members..., but this one- capt. Manja Blok- from our KLu actually destroyed Serbian tanks with Mk 82's.... On a lighter note: how about the Swedish Flyvapnet ?

Congrats !!! What was file no 9000 ?? Great job Staff & community !!!
