Like some others the first post did remind me of the old days{sm2} However I do think Trevor was just expressing his opinion regarding the weight v value factor rather than any intent to stir things up. I have made comments on the subject of weight before. I do remember well the reaction at...

That case was the trigger but been a couple of others ongoing recently. The hospital worker apparently had it in the community for a few days including a family holiday over 1,000 km away in city called Townsville. That town and a couple of offshore islands effectively locked down due to that...

John, Good to see you have your priorities right. Ironically yesterday I bought some essential items to send to my locked down daughter in Sydney (2 weeks sentence). Things like Branston pickle, HP sauce and Marmite {sm4} Just to show off sending 2 toilet rolls as well. Minor point but "lead"...

Brisbane and SE Qld going into 3 day lock down. The case that triggered it was a positive case in a 19 year old clerk whose workplace was just outside the Covid ward in a major hospital. Not sure what variant yet but also affects Townsville, a town much further north, as had just made a trip...

The columns with the fascist fasces were erected by the fascists, whose symbol was precisely the bundle of ancient Roman inspiration. The number 18 refers to the year of the laying of the column: the eighteenth year of the fascist era that began with the coup d'état Mussolini did in 1922...

Come on Toddy be honest. We all know you guys refer to Australia as the West Island ^&grin PS. Interesting B/W photo Poppo posted. I hope that column was not put up by the 18th Roman Legion {sm2}

From web page American Thinker. It refers to front page story in The Australian newspaper today by journalist called Sharri Markson. Also links to her segment on Sky News discussing the footage of bats in the lab that Dazack and WHO said had no bats. Can any legal guys come up with possible...

Louis, Thanks for the background information. My comments related to what Poppo posted. Whilst difficult to comprehend their thinking, due to their treatment, at the time, slaughtering innocents was what I picked up on. However obviously payback. If article had said they attacked the local Army...

One of the most disturbing aspects of the Covid era has been the role of social media in shutting down alternative views. I am talking here about respected and highly experienced medical people with frontline experience. 2 days ago I saw my first story (via CBS) about the fact the CDC were...

Was a great diorama and fantastic buildings made by Wayne. A minor point regarding the Scots Greys pics. They were part of a large cavalry and infantry display on the next table.

As you say just an article you decided to post. Some thoughts then. The Indians, perhaps with good cause, were not happy with their treatment. So what did they do ? Oh yes kill an innocent family of 5. Then they bravely declare war and proceeded to slaughter men women and children who also...

Is there a point to this post ?. Reminds me of the Russian guys posts from a year ago.

Mark, Front page story in The Australian today by Sharri Markson who has broken some good information on the virus background and actually has a book coming out on it soon. Don't know who her sources are but they are good. Article mentions a meeting by US Intelligence agencies, including FBI...

Just finished the Vanity Fair article by Katherine Eban (via recommendation at top of a US web page called Powerline). It goes into great detail about the origins of the virus and various connections. Mentions a US Government meeting in Dec 20 where some attendees advised others best not to look...

These two caught my attention and are must watch for me. SHOGUN---Cosmo Jarvis and Hiroyuki Sanada will star in this FX miniseries based on the James Clavell novel. The 1980 miniseries starred Richard Chamberlain, Toshiro Mifune and Yoko Shimada. WE OWN THIS CITY---Jon Bernthal, Josh Charles...

There is no truth in the rumour that this was taken from Warriors table at a toy soldier show !^&grin Cant remember who said it but reminds me of a line from a comedian "I will punch you so hard it will hospitalise your mother". Anybody know where that comes from ?

Obee, They look great and explains why Naps always been a popular subject. Now that you have done 90mm to build up your muscles see if you can find any of the 300mm Australian kits by Naked Army as they are being sold at way below original retail. I dont stock them but should be able to find...

John, Good to see the toy soldier playing traditions being handed down:salute::.

This series has got me looking at what the French did post WW2 and learnt a lot did not previously know. Read quite a bit about Bigeard and often described as the most decorated French officer. Tom has posted a great pic of him wearing medals and I think that may not have been his final...

My first memories as a kid are in Aden just before the troubles started as my Dad was in the Army there. He also did Malaya in 50's. Just as long as any Aden series is not based on the TV series The Last Outpost where it seems the only soldiers there were the Rambo like MP's^&grin.
