    Things that annoy me

    The people who think that and are pushing it through have jobs in offices. which is fine for them, but just ask them if they want a 65 year old firefighter turning up at their house when it is on fire. They never think about those people that work in roles like construction, where your body is...

    Things that annoy me

    Did they not eat him after his plane crashed? Is that not the Cannibal version of 'roadkill'. On a serious note - the US does not give Billions to the Ukraine, they send them Billions of Dollars worth of equipment, which is either surplus to US military needs or stuff that has to be replaced...

    Things that annoy me

    None of those kids look like Hamas Terrorist to me, but are still being bombed and shelled. I went to visit Alcatraz once and that also had some nice seafront, but it was still a prison

    Things that annoy me

    This monument like many others in London get covered up many times a year when there are marches etc, Churchill and Thatcher statues get covered up a lot as well. there was a story in the press that this was actually fake and it had not been covered up officially, looking at the pictures, with...

    Things that annoy me

    Treason is a word thrown about a lot in these sorts of circumstances, the constitution states that Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. I do not think these people were...

    Things that annoy me

    I think you need to realise that 60 is the maximum, not the required speed, why should people drive at the maximum all the time? if the road was icy or it was really raining hard would you still expect them to drive at 60? If the road was 60 and there are turnings on it would you expect them...

    KING & COUNTRY DISPATCHES -- May 2024

    The Roman civilians will make their way to me at some point, for a Hadrian's Wall or Roman Fort dio. Great to see some D Day stuff coming out, not been a US K & C Sherman for ages, but think that is not the correct gun mantle, it is way too early. Would also hope to see some applique armour...

    Not Always a Dark Day on the Wall

    See below for some 'official' Hadrian Wall documents, as i bought them from the Roman Army Museum on Hadrians Wall. Was going to put this post in the Historical Discussion thread, but there is a MIA post top of that thread and in my opinion that post has to stay at the top of that thread.

    On The Streets of Ancient Rome

    Think we all have the same or similar bookshelves, The Haynes Manual in the picture [who were famous in the UK for car repair manuals] is also a good read and it has reconstructive pictures from Historic England and Phillip Corke Illustrations. As well as a nice breakdown of the 4 different...

    UK Shows

    Cheers, think it has been a slow spiral down for the show, i did not go in March, as i thought the previous 2 were poor. The organisers have done as little as possible to keep the show going, promotion etc, for example, why are they not on the forum posting stuff pre the show highlighting who...

    Sherman resin casting trouble

    Agree, will be interested to learn what happens, i always think you can access the quality of a company on how they behave when there is something wrong. Couple of years ago i had an issue with a 1/30 tank, told the manufacturer and they replaced it no questions asked. Have spend quite a lot...
