Well my ignorance of tank warfare helped me with that film then.

I barely watch TV, I just started work again and I need something to keep me occupied. Last night I actually downloaded some older war movies, one called Stalingrad made in the 90s which is good. I love Das Boot, Downfall and all of the old ones like the Longest Day, Battle of Britain and A Bridge too Far. They use artistic licence but are closer to documentaries films that the utter shite they produce today. Even Private Ryan is a ridiculous story from fantasy land and yet it's lauded as the "best WW2 ever made". Yes the cinematography is amazing and they get the uniforms right etc but w

That film Argo, about the CIA op to save the Americans working in the US embassy in Tehran during the revolution is another one that gripes me. Affleck is explicit in stating that the British turned them away and refused to aid the fleeing Americans, which is historically bullshit! In actual fact the British embassy took the yanks in and looked after them until they decided to safely move them on as being such a strong ally to America the British were obvious suspects and so it was too risky for the Americans to stay.

I wonder if they mention in the film the fact that the first two flights were manned by British pilots because they dare not risk a yank until they had more faith in not getting shot down? I've not even watched the film yet and already I have issues with it! LOL Ha ha is that true?? Well it's a well made film (Bridge of Spys) but it's got the typical Hollywood feel i.e. the time between Powers getting captured and released is made to seem like its weeks or months when in reality in was over two years. The worse culprit was Pearl Harbour....If I had owned a cat at the time

It could get 60M signatures and the govt would not act on it. They'll be bound by international law at a guess. At best it'll show public sentiment on such issues for future policy decisions, which ain't a bad thing. They should bring back Outlawry for such people.

How long do you recon they want? Hazel is alright after a year but benefits from two imo but as I said I have no experience with anything else so would appreciate your advice. There fairly sturdy too!

Anybody worked with Blackthorn? I've cut two crackers at xmas. One I think will be a traditional knob handle but the other has a natural straight crook from the branch it grew off (like an ice pickaxe) which I think I'll keep and shape a bit. Always used hazel in the past but I think Blackthorn/Hawthorn makes for a better quality end product, so giving it a go.

It'd take 200 years for the folks left on the planet but the folks travelling it would happen instantly, they'd not age a second during the time they were travelling at light speed. really,,,,thats not what that brian cox fella said,,,rememberd his name...he said it would be the great great great grandchildren of the people that maned the space craft that would get to the nearest planet that might support life... he also said it would take 6 years for the space craft to axcelerate up to light speed,,,and even then it would be just under light speed.... I have no idea what h

Imagine what could have been achieved by now had the Roman/Greece civilizations not collapsed leading to Europe suffering a thousand years of regression/stagnation.

Funny how the Lib/dems are banging on about democracy know , had they had there way there wouldn't have been a referendum in the first place , now all of a sudden we need another one because they didn't like the result , like buses with them you wait years for one then all of a sudden there's another one coming ..They have only got eight mp's , hardly makes them main stream ..tossers and losers.... I do laugh when I read in the news what some lib dem's opinion is. I'm not sure any c**t cares but they're still treated like a major part of British politics! FANTASY

Hypothetically, if conscripted who would consider it their civic duty to fight in another Gulf War to oust a problematic dictator for the West? Or indeed send their children to do so? For their country of course.....

Probably the best trilogy. "You wanna know how I got these scars? My father, was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and says, "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife. "WHY SO SERIOUS?" He sticks the blade in my mouth... "Let's put a smile on that face." And... why so serious?" Alfred Pennyworth: With respect Master Wayne, perhaps this is a man that *you* don't fully under

Worse case scenario it comes to that through a General Election. It's risky under our system but it's up to the UK Electorate to remember these problem MPs and hold them accountable at the ballot.

Everyone can hear her but no f****r is listening! LOL

IMO May is doing a reasonable job and Parliament wont cause her too much of an issue. The hardcore Europhiles will try to make their stance for their delusion of democracy and justice but it'll not be enough. I think it's a big win having the most powerful man on the planet supporting the British Gov's position! PS I've just noticed that spellchecker tries to correct 'Europhile' to 'Pedophile'!

Supreme Court have ruled 8-3 that Brexit must be an Act of Parliament. They've also ruled that the devolved governments have no say, only Westminster.

How do you know it's a 'low point'? Unless I missed it, there's no historical reference data. I don't think it's particularly surprising with modern technology largely making the book defunct in the pragmatic sense.

This is going to sound ridiculous due to the man power and the size of our fleets etc but the European armies are nothing short of an absolute outrage compared to us , we'd piss on any country other than the us , and that's only due to their size.... https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/study-finds-uk-is-second-most-powerful-country-in-the-world/

It sounds f***ing great! LOL. I think I'd have a similar view to it all as you do.

Are you much limited with them compared to a rifle? What was the format of the day? Is it driven or more like bushing where hounds are let loose and it's a case of put yourself where you can and take a shot when it's safe?

Shotgun with slugs? Great post!
