[OzDigger]

Its no secret now Harry,sv288 said on another thread it was 'Rough Riders'.

Rob

I used to buy them by the dozen, in 'Big Soldier' size of course

Interesting results so far as Kursk leads the next two most popular subjects COMBINED by about 2% of the total vote. We'll see if this continues..........

 

[sv288]

Kursk would be an excellent choice especially collectors who only collect vehicles.

 

[damian]

That's interesting sv288. And for U.S. ONLY...!!! Wow, you must have an awful lot of inside info.
So what's the new series coming out for U.S. ONLY then mate? Or shall I ask Rob to spill the beans?

Cheers

I have spoken to Rob who says he has it on the highest authority that the upcomming new series is Great Philosophers. The first is a SL of 2000 pieces of Socrates drinking hemlock. Dealers have already been notified but are all sworn to secrecy by the special insider oath of allegiance. Following on the Great philosophers there is still debate at K and C central between the Victorian Circus series or Great cricket players.

I understand K&C UK looked at the Great Cricket players idea but could not find enough English examples to make it viable.

[General Custer]

U.S. cavalry, but no Little Big Horn, no soldiers with disparate uniforms ,transpierced arrows… beautiful blue and yellow soldiers, like in John Ford movies with John Wayne !

 

[Rob]

Why no Little Big Horn,i think that would be cool.

Rob

 

[General Custer]

Because too many casualties figures! Prefer soldiers dressed like on my banner!

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, [some versions have 'Schopenhauer and Hegel']

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently p.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken f.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a b when he's p .

Thats the one!
