  1. Just returned a computer i fixed for an elderly lady..and noticed several pictures of a Lancaster Bomber on the living room wall. I enquired about them, and it turned out, her Husband was a Flight Engineer on Lancs, with 166 squadron. She got a photo album out, to reveal some amazing photo's (never published) of the inside, outside..and even some shot's taken from inside, of the outside of Lancs..their crews, even the Spaniel who was their mascot. I spent a fascinating 30 mins, over a cup of tea, chatting to her..and looking over the photo's. Her husbands aircraft/crew completed 30 sorties over enemy territory, and she flew in a Lanc herself, in her time as a WAAF...and told me that when she was on board, they were practising bombing a ship towed target, which they missed..and the swearing was so bad, the Radio operator switched her R/T headset off, for fear of offending her!! A wonderful 30 minutes, with a truly charming Lady!...made my day!
  2. I think Lord of the Rings is more to do with Greed, environmental destruction, and friendship/Kinship than a War film. Tolkein was a real genius, when it came to spotting all the sh*t that was going on around him..he was clearly very 'Anti-City'...for which, he has my vote
  3. Yes, it's easy to be cynical about it...but, the US government were going to do sweet FA...until the campaign forced them into some kind of action 14:00 is a very telling moment.
  4. It is rather common I suspect, when you purchase an 'Addon'...you can never remember what the original was like!..though, I bought HiTR..not because of the Aircraft..but because of the updated graphics/AI etc,etc. Well worth the money!
  5. This man must die!
  6. Classic!...thanks m8 the new Guinness one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=y07at1bU89Q
  7. For me..ASUS is the only board I will buy. Have used Gigabyte in the past..but recently..They have been really bad!....I have had 3 dead boards from new, in 18months
  8. Yes, I watched it (had to record One man and His Dog) A very moving account....I found tears rolling down my cheeks in the last 5 minutes..where those beautiful Black Horses, who survived the Horror...pulled the gun carriage, with the body of the unknown soldier to Westminster Abbey.....very moving indeed
  9. Beautiful Video Nbryant...thanks for posting! Will have a watch of that m8
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nWmllfg25g IMHO...the Best War film ever. Any Anti War film, is the best film ‎"Don't rejoice in his defeat you men! For, although the World stood up and defeated the Bastard. The Bitch that bore him, is in heat again" -Bertolt Brecht amen to that!
  11. I don't even give a sh*t about the fuel prices anymore!...here in the UK..it's so damned expensive, that I'm actually past caring! Let the Arab world keep it's Oil...and when they've drifted back to the 11th Century...we can just go buy it for some Camel Dung!
  12. Or more likely...because P2 was free?
  13. I don't think removing P3 is a bad thing...p4 is going to have everything p3 has..and a whole lot more by the look of it...and no-one has p1 still installed do they?
  14. Oh..War of the Roses...Multiplayer only!....there's more and more of this now!..it's easy, and cheap to develop MP games...because you don't even have to have the imagination, to develop a storyline...so any geeky nobody can do it!...I despair
  15. You could build a FAB simulator in one!
  16. War of the Roses looks interesting..and Max Payne 3 should be a blast....GTA games are always fun...but, all that fantasy stuff...it just looks like sh*t to me
  17. This was my favourite (wrong wording, but you know what I mean) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-15848886
  18. There is a saying around... "There are Dogs..and then there are Border Collies" They're certainly extremely bright Dogs (and hard work at times...just like a Four year old human Olham)
  19. Never been in a Helo...and don't ever want to!....I would never sit in one voluntarily, which means..if I was in one..it would be an Air Ambulance, or Air/Sea Rescue jobby! (neither of which appeal)
  20. have you seen this btw?
  21. Hahahahahahahaha....the term 'Messy Pup' comes to mind!...wow! Have to say..My two aren't diggers...but some of the photo's on the Border Collie Facebook page I'm on, are testament to the Burrowing Prowess of the Black and White Dudes!!!! (though, I think 'Ofi Losa' has nailed first prize for that!!!! thanks for posting BH...made my day :lol:
  22. I have known Hauksbee for quite some time now..we email each other a fair bit..and I can only echo what you have said!...He's (what we say in Blighty)..."The Salt of the Earth"
  23. Well, downloaded it a third time..still wont work...stuff it..I'm back to flying the BIG jets!
  24. Not a good start anyway...downloaded it...doesnt work...typical mickeysoft!...I only want to have a look at it...so i can slate it to bits!!!!
  25. For anyone who cares http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/
