HAFU video, New Zealand, have made another great air show video - enjoy!

Mmuahahahahaaaaa!!!! Now that's a cute story - I guess you are talking of the big one? Ah - I KNEW it was something technical - no one would pour that much milk into the tea for taste! Mmuahahahahahaaaa!!!!!

There are many theories, which can all not be proven. The best one seems to be, that the heraldic animal was chosen after Albrecht I., who conquered the Mark Brandenburg back from the Slawonians and seems to have started the fortification of the city. Albrecht's by-name was "the Bear". http://en.wikipedia....Albert_the_Bear

Everybody has their own taste, of course.

Just listened through the voice samples of dict.cc, and the more correct English word for the first silable would be rather "bear". So it's "bear-lean". And that makes even more sense - the bear is in Berlin's arms.

He definitely had something great to look back upon in all his later life.

It is their local preference, HumanDrone. Our capital is - in English phonetics - spelled "Bare-lean" (Ber-lin). With the accent on the second silabel.

I see you love your "hometown" amd defend every letter of it. I think I'll remember that: Pittsburgh ! I have no real idea of autism and am amazed to read, that he can speak the characters with life and emotions as the non-autistic have and show.

Oh, as an East Frisian I love tea. But it must be strong enough, not watered or milked down. A malty redbrown blend of Assams is what we East Frisians love. With a rock candy in it, and a spoonful of good fresh cream - hmmmm!!!

Von Baur, most of these traces are in former East Berlin. But the 8.8 hole in the bridge pylon is in West Berlin.

Wow, this looks like the stuff to look through during the coming winter. Thanks, Shredder!

No, I don't think so. It was just not done on some houses.

By the way: I also have many Calvin & Hobbes comics, and the first three books are among my all-time-greats. Strips like the one, where they are lying in a meadow, and Calvin is wondering about the question where they might go when they die. The Tiger says "Pittsburg?" And Calvin asks: "You mean when we were good, or when we were bad?"

Andy Capp ever had "an official job" ???

Aaaahhh - the great search function of this Forum made it possible - here is the link to an older post about Berliner Mandelbrot incl recipe: http://combatace.com...ad/#entry457523 Let me add this: the whole stuff gets even nicer, when you add whole almonds. Cutting the cake is easier, when you cut it when it's still warm; and dip the knife in hot water inbetween two cuts.

Yes, well, the first name "Andy" is not used in German; and we also don't use the word "Cap", so the joke would lost. We have the short "Andi" for "Andreas", but it's not a very common name. Best translation would have been "Andi Kappe". "to wack" has a totally different meaning for you; in German the adjective "wacker" means something like "brave" or "hearty". Don't the British and Americans also change names into English?

I'm helpless, HumanDrone - I can't find the recipe. I'll have to ask my mum. Maybe Jarhead can help you out?

Ah, good idea to start early. In my family it was only baked for Xmas. But there's no good reason, why one shouldn't start eating it before. Maybe I'll bake me some next week!

After tweaking and fiddling with bits of other users' profiles (Charvel, Widowmaker and Polovski), and adding and changing all to my likes, I have found a profile that works very well for me in OFF - it is at the same time gently smooth as it is still very immediate. If you like, extract it and try it out. The profile goes into: Programs > NaturalPoint > TrackIR5 > profiles Enjoy!

For all Canadian flyers I have made these two skin variants - the earlier Hispano-Suiza and the later Viper version of the S.E.5a. (I added the Maple Leaf - the skins were made by the OBD Skinners). Please download them soon - I will have to make room again for my other attachments. The skins need to get extracted; then throw them into this folder: OBD Software > CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields > campaigns > CampaignData > skins All the best and much fun!

You mean, there might be people who DON'T know him? He came to German newspapers in the early seventies, and his name here was Willy Wacker. I guess I have 20 Fawcett Gold Medal books with original Andy Capp in English, plus 5 German ones. I love them all. Thank you, Mr. Smythe - I hope he earned you a good living!

By the way: I have added you to our "OFF FORUM PILOTS MAPS", Fokker - see here: http://combatace.com/topic/44370-off-forum-pilots-maps/#entry315225

By the way - many traces of the war can still be found in Berlin. Entrance ways and perfect window positions for machine gun nests are still framed by hundreds of bullet holes. The hole in the iron railway bridge pylon was most likely caused by a German 8.8 Flak gun, which was used against tanks with great success in the Battle of Berlin.

A spooky find, Hauksbee - I have been at many places in northern France, and I imagined scenes like these at some places. It's not too long ago, and yet many a place looks like it never happened. Good point, Lazarus!
