Good morning EGC.

[snippy_about_it]

If you're a worrier, there's hope for you too!

Thank Goodness!

...the Spitfire V engine would stop when you flew the machine inverted. I guess SUs don't work upside down.

Oh my.

no joy on the FR Treadhead stickers..

If I ever get a minute I'll have to take a trip to Kinko's and see if they can duplicate it. I suppose we could do it from our home computer but the cost of ink would be outrageous.

Good morning feather.

[Soaring Feather]

Morning, PE.

Thanks for the Flag-0-gram. :-)

[Soaring Feather]

[snippy_about_it]

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks PE.

Like they... Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. It's gonna be "Deja Vu all over again" for Islam if they don't crack a history book soon.

They tried this crap once and took them 1,000 years to recover from Christianity's response. And the Chrisitian world is bigger and badder (militarily) than it has ever been.

They may be Euroweenies now, but their ancestors were goths, visigoths, vikings, huns and a whole host of other bad boys who got their kicks raping and pillaging their neighbors. Islam should be careful lest they remember who they used to be.

We had something happen here at the computer. The first time since we got the computer two years ago.

Yesterday during the shutdown process, a window popped saying that an .exe application was being turned off.

Then we had another window pop-up and give us thoption of cnaceling or shutting down the computer with the caveat that we would lose any unsaved data.

I clicked "end now" and the computer turned itself off.

Haven't had any problems this morning and there was no mention of it in the event viewer.

Today is Windows Update day, download it when it arrives if you run Microsoft.

Personalized AFVs. Many colors and styles available.

I'm waiting for the Swatch model to come out. I hear they have mix and match body panels...

[snippy_about_it]

Hiya Darksheare. I'm sure you're on troll patrol these days. :-)

[snippy_about_it]

Their next goal, as they called it, is to "prepare the conscience of the nation for the inevitable showdown with islam.

Looks like they they aren't fooled by political correctness. I'm afraid I'd have to agree with them.

[snippy_about_it]

Well said. I don't think the islamists know their own history.

[Soaring Feather]

Good moring, Matthew!

Looks like it's getting hotter and hotter in Europe...

Oh me. I have been following that story on the news. Horrible thought another bloodbath.

[Darksheare]

Actually, things have been hectic and crazy, so I haven't been able to get to that either!

Look at those lads waiting to attack Wehrmacht armor in those tin cans. They knew what what a slim chance they had. Determined bunch.

The armor described in the article were roughly a match for the contemporary German light tanks (PzK I and PzK II). It wasn't until the PzK 38 (1939) and the PzK IV (medium tank) (1937) that the Germans began to put out superior armor. http://www.onwar.com/tanks/germany/

From an earlier Freeper Foxhole:
"The recently-designed 7TP "czolg lekki", or light tank, the first in the world to be designed with a diesel engine, proved to be superior to German tanks of the same class (the PzKpfw I and II) inflicting serious damage to the German forces, limited only by the fact that they were not used in concentrated groups. They were absorbed by the Germans into their own Panzer divisions at the end of the campaign. "

Sam, I thought you all had done an earlier feature or Polish Tanks and Tankettes, but I couldn't find it with a Google search.

Germans now have something like that. There is a version with TOW missiles, 12,7 mm or 20 mm canons and even with 120 mm mortar. This is used in airborne and air-assult units.

[Grzegorz 246]

Armored trains are interesting.
