Aunque parezca que ha afectado a nuestro amigo el Hombre de Tanith, que no está tan bien.
¿le deberíamos decir o mirarle sufrir? ¡El sufrimiento en otros es gracioso! (¡Dicho(Hablado) como un hijo verdadero de Malo Papá de la motocicleta! )

Nice looking kit Colin. Very nice set up indeed!
Many thanks for the Stamford Bridge day, son. That was a very interesting read. I read a very different account of the lead up to William the Conqueror's invasion of England while I was at Bayeux a few years ago. (it's about 40 miles from where I'm living) The whole thing sounded like William was promised the throne after Harold had been rescued by William, but Harold welshed on the deal after Edward croaked. Anyway twas an interesting read comparing it to the English account of the same event. I suppose the winners write the history books and the oppressed got their hand in too.
Skylab was also interesting to read, but after the Apollo series ended I got more into WWII stuff and history, so the drama you spoke off with the thrusters passed me by.
As for the close call with a Nuclear War, that was news to me indeed. Scary stuff! But I suppose we can count ourselves lucky neither side have put Skynet in charge... yet.

Quotes:
Mark Twain said of English as She Is Spoke that "Nobody can add to the absurdity of this book, nobody can imitate it successfully, nobody can hope to produce its fellow; it is perfect."
"Is there anything in conventional English which could equal the vividness of 'to craunch a marmoset'?"
I really do enjoy this thread. I had never heard of this book, until now. View attachment 23026
It's a joy to learn new things, and this thread is full of new information.

Air gun. One of my faves is "Eats shoots and leaves". Unfortunately good books are now considered to have titles like "My booky wook".

Booky wook. Ha! I have a Kindley windley
I read Eats shoots and leaves and didn't get on with it, lousy plot and 2 dimensional characters, but did feature a nice Panda though.
And there was me thinking Huon was referring to She by H Rider Haggard, the classic book and written in very posh English, though perhaps not as posh as Shelley's Frankenstein or Daniel Defoe's ....

Ah, the Antipodeans. You've got to love'em.
Going back a few posts, did you ever read Heinleins "Glory Road".

Yeah (Duh, is the pope Catholic?) Loved the first 75% of it but felt it sorta lost the plot towards the end, but still a good book though. Just finished "Have Spacesuit, will travel".
