  1. New Book...

    Just bought a new book Iran-Iraq War in the Air 1980-1988- http://www.acig.org/pg1/content.php If anyone wants I can do a review once I have been through it... which might take me a couple of weeks! So far initially it seems like a good book on a little known subject.
  2. New Book...

    Covers everything involved including F-1EQ's F-5A and E's and it looks like it has the B-6 and Tu-22's along with most of the other Iraqi and Iranian aircraft...
  3. Am I reading this wrong?

    Must be an English thing because I thought the same...
  4. US ARMY gets the Block III Apache

    Stary running away to that cave is a bad idea it will come after you... but you are right its so fugly...
  5. US ARMY gets the Block III Apache

    Apart from the increase in performance... sometimes the outside hides the goodies inside...
  6. Nothing wrong with having style must admit I prefer to write down details than stick them on a PC...
  7. As to the Fullbacks thats a big no in here... though may be available elsewhere though I am not sure where.
  8. Fifa Ban Poppies

    No its the simple rememberance and thanks of those who gave their lives and are still doing so today so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we have today...
  9. Fifa Ban Poppies

    Its to do with Remembrance Day 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11 Month at the time the guns stopped firing in WW1 where we remember the war dead. There is normally 2 minutes silence in the UK and the commonwealth sorry if I missed other countries but I do no know... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day
  10. Fifa Ban Poppies

    Some one needs to shove a bayonet into the damn lot of those Fifa officials... bunch of thieving lowlifes. And that is me being polite... As an ex-member of the RAF and British Army I find that this is disgraceful and is beyond the words that I can write here...
  11. Now that is a pretty target Gepard...
  12. Canadians?

    Problem is lack of terrains... I am no modder but from what I understand creating a terrain is a pain in the ahem neck...
  13. Canadians?

    None for Bosnia etc... as to the next one there are some in the Campaign missions area though most are hypothetical scenarios... one for Israel and one for Taiwan off the top of my head.
  14. OT Well I never thought I would

    I feared the worst... but to bbe honest it was a great vid and the music seemed to fit...
  15. Me I am just glad that when I fly the airplane takes off and lands okay... normally with all its parts though some may have moved around in flight. Like the time I went to Washington DC and my luggage went to Jamaica...
  16. OT The English Language...

    We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of my foot and show you my feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that, and there would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim! Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; Neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England. We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, Grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, What do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English Should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? We ship by truck but send cargo by ship... We have noses that run and feet that smell. We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway. And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language In which your house can burn up as it burns down, In which you fill in a form by filling it out, And in which an alarm goes off by going on. And in closing........... If Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop.?????? Courtesy George Carlin 1937-2008
