I’m not into football, I can’t really stand it in fact, but I was hoping Holland, or the Netherlands if you prefer, would win the final…Seen a bit of it, looked like they couldn’t be bothered…“Hey’sh, lets haves a smokes inshtead, yah?” (Poor attempt at a Dutch accent) 😮

It hasn’t changed since the fifties :eek::rolleyes:

Nor has your country! :diablo:

Very nice pictures! Home sweet home! 🙂

I live here in Newcastle, right on the edge of Leazes park between the centre of town, or TOON! Gorgeous place, lived in Newcastle all my life & a proud Geordie, great city, great people, (We stopped the jocks from spreading into the rest of England don’t you know. GEORDIES!) :diablo: great atmospfere! My girlfriend is from Dubai & she even thinks Newcastle is better than Dubai, I argue with her a little bit about it, but she always wins…..As usual. 😀

Not sure I got the laugh but hey, it just reminded me…When is the new movie of the Dambusters coming out again? Last I heard someone, producer I think, got in touch with the MoD asking for “information” about the real life mission which even the todays public don’t know about. That was about 4-5 months or so ago…Haven’t heard anything else since.

Has anyone else?

Just back from holiday a couple of days ago, so I just thought I’d pay a visit and say thanks for posting a reply, pfcem. Very interesting source(s) in the links you’ve posted and a very good quality explanation of th……Oh wait, you didn’t…Oh well, whats new, eh? :rolleyes:

No, YOU are making a fool of yourself. I have posted as many or more sources than pretty much any/every other poster here but I am LONG past reposting sources over & over & over again which have already been posted.

No I’m not, I’m just asking for a source or two from you, so where? Is it that big of deal to ask you for at least one? Surely its not that hard, is it? It’d certainly save these petty arguments. Heres mine:

Now you pretty much can’t get no more official than that, it clearly states it fires 1000 to 1700 rounds per minute, not 1800, I take their word for it. Now how about you posting a link saying it fires 1800 rounds per minute?

This is NOT the 1st time this particular point of discussion has been on this forum & I know full well (because of past ‘discussions’) that if I had dared to use 1700 rather than 1800 that one or more posters would have had a fit claiming I was putting the Bk 27 in a ‘less than positive light’ using 1700 when there are so many sources which cite 1800. And YOU have spent more time bitching about my using 1800 (even AFTER I explained why & what the numbers would be if I had used 1700 instead) than it would (or as suspect did but you STILL can not let it go) to have done a simple internet search & verified that there ARE several sources which say 1800 rather than 1700.

You didn’t explain much or didn’t answer anything I asked, nor did you post a link of a source, not on this particular thread anyway of which I don’t know why you’re making a big deal about doing so. So, yet again, post these several sources you claim they say 1800. They must be wrong or have the chaps that maintain the RAF website wrong?

If you had dared used 1700 then I personally wouldn’t of had a problem with that, if anyone else would’ve quoted you on that, saying its BS etc I would’ve actually defended you til the cows came home (Not something I’d do often I admit) because thats something I believe in myself and I don’t believe for a second its 1800, unless you or anyone could prove me, the RAF or its makers wrong.

I missed it. But your posting thus far proves you are in no way interrested in what my response would be but are rather just being an a-hole & derailing the thread.

Really……..

At least it explains something worth talking about rather than calling people “An A-hole”. *tut-tut, why do people call others names…Just derails the thread a bit*.

What happened on bloody Sunday was terrible, theres no getting away from it, it just was. But when you send a bunch of battle hardened, trained to kill Paras into a place to do a police mans/womans job while getting bottles, bricks, crap, petrol bombs & god knows what else thrown at them, then theres going to be results like this. Its a sad fact but these things happen, it was declared a “War-Zone” and these things happen, it happens or happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Checyna, Serbia, Bosnia, Ireland…List is endless, what happens to the soldiers or airmen that killed those? Who knows what on earth happened…

When the IRA scum of the earth decide to blow up some busy place where theres innocent men, woman & children minding their own business & kill them, and the people that support them have the nerve to call the British Armed Forces “murderers”? Absurde!

Like I say, what happened was terrible, it shouldn’t have happened but sadly it did. Sadly its the messed up world we live in.

My uncle served with the Royal Marines for almost 24 years, served all over the world in various wars, some of which was The Falklands, Iraq, Afhganistan, Sierra Leone. He was/is Irish, a protestant, to me, family, friends etc is a hero and to some, not all, just the morons, is a “murderer”, and this is from the idiots that think its ok for the IRA to kill innocent people. If thats not hypocracy then I don’t know what the hell is.

Just my two pennies.
