Hey Silverbolt..what is that on your signature?

Yeah...the Spitfire would beat all these Jets hands down!

Oh Lord..just one little |Snipe.. I dont ask for much out of Life...just one!

:lol:

I voted OFF Have got FE and ROF....not hugely impressed by either, but thats not a critisism..just a personal opinion. FS-WW1 should have been on the list too (and it's free) with a shed load of Planes

Don't f*ck with the Brits!...hahahaha (unless it's playing Soccer...then anyone/everyone can)

I knew you would take a bite there Olham!

That's a new one on me Duce..thanks m8

Well, I bought it several months ago..played it a few times..but it never felt right!..Not going to pay anything else either

Will I have a Snipe before OFF brings one out?

Not of a high enough level to do it myself...but hopefully you will get some volunteers m8..she looks really good!

Ah, the Widowmaker! (well, actually not, as it's not the German one)...that's where I got my name from

Yesterday, 10th July 1940 was the anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain Just wanted to raise a glass to 'Dowding's Chicks' who fought so bravely defending us all from Nazi Tyranny! God bless you all

A lot of Nursery Rymes have a pretty unpleasant meaning to them..such as Ring o Ring o Roses

I started off wanting Holland to win..but they were a bunch of Dirty Bastards!...So, I ended up cheering for Spain

I thought the Ref did ok...If he had sent off the people who deserved it, Holland would have been playing with Six men!...dirty Bastards

Very impressive mdatelmi It certainly was Dave

I knew you would be Lou....Right up your street!!

Anyone who shoots down Huns gets my respect! (especially as I have noticed no Germans saying anything?)

Are you not all pleased I started this thread now?

With the demise of Moat..I find my attention turning to the two smeg-heads accused of Conspiracy to Murder. Y'know...those brave friends, who supplied the weapons, the food, the Beer....who egged Moat on...who where there when Moat shot the Police Officer....but were too cowardly to pull the trigger themselves..but were perfectly at ease with themselves, watching the events spirral out of control. Conspiracy to Murder, is worse than Murder itself in my book!...It shows up a cowardly scumbag in the light of day.... We all know people like them dont we?...the underminers, who sit in the shadows, like Grima Wormtongue from Lord of the Rings...pushing, goading, slimeing around! I really hope they get what's coming to them

We all know of course, about the 'two fingered salute' courtesy of Agincourt..... But did you know that Quarrel (as in to argue) comes from Crossbow use? And here's a few more I dredged up from the Net Medieval people sometimes managed to get hold of pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man "could bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning and death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or "upper crust."

The meaning of 'wearing your heart on your sleeve' is to display your emotions openly. You might remember this one from Shakespeare’s masterpiece Othello. This rather strange phrase is said to derive from a middle-aged custom of knights wearing the colours of the lady they were supporting during jousting matches. They would wear a cloth or ribbon in the colour of their fair maiden around their arms before galloping towards impending pain or victory.
