    Walter Schellenberg, The Memoirs Of Hitlers Spymaster

    So far so good, fascinating stuff, although no doubt Herr Schellenbergs memory was somewhat ‘selective’ when writing his memoirs.

    My first Airfix Beaufighter which I think was a Coastal Command variant had a machine gun in the rear bubble. Vickers K if I recall correctly.

    Both types featured amongst my favourite Dogfight Doubles.

    Used to think of them as equally capable aircraft, suited to very similar roles, maybe the Mosquito comes slightly ahead in the bomber role.

    Found my fathers old coupon book the other day for his Ford Cortina III, he was on Nimrods round about then & I remember a lot of car sharing & MT usage going on so everyone could get to work on the the base.

    You know WL, I’m the same, I have the moby switched on, but in my pocket, first break I check out who’s called & messaged me & not until.

    Lot of clever talk going on here, but until you’ve actually seen the consequences….best keep your trap shut.

    BANG it takes a split second.Never mind other peoples are are worth it

    Indeed trumper,a split second is all it takes, as I alluded to earlier, there is no possible excuse, those who argue the toss, just don’t know the far reaching effects, seriously.

    Been there, hope no one has to follow me, but no doubt they will. Seeing some one extinguished in front of you is pretty final, no ifs, no butts, no smart forum type arguments or clever word play, game over, then being left to deal with it. I was with the guy when he drew his last breath, is that call really worth it? Damn, if it was, I hope it was properly important.

    Sadly I was on the receiving end of that very scenario, only recently, a driver who was (allegedly as the legal dust has yet to settle) using a hand held mobile telephone, caused a motorcyclist to collide with the vehicle I was driving, head on, poor fellow almost came right through my windscreen & was killed instantly.

    Only takes a split second & your whole game changes.

    Spent a while looking for these ‘cards’ but haven’t found any mention until now..

    Hang on…yup think I’ve found another for you…

    Just assume he is self-medicating and leave him alone…;o)

    All part of the left wing starter kitβ„’, if someone is openly not towing the party line, then bring their mental health (or any of their health come to that) into question, however, very much like the once bullet proof ‘racist cardβ„’’ it has lost its impact for the cause & may as well be discarded.

    Anyway, you disgust me snaffy old chap, fancy trying to use someones mental health as a crutch to prop up your argument, not very equal ops of you I must say. πŸ˜‰

    Haven’t really got it have you Snafu, the ‘cards’ no longer work dear boy, the only ones who appear to have issues are the lefties, probably because everyone has actually moved on & don’t really care anymore, we can make our own minds up now thanks without your invaluable assistance (sic), the days of the left being champions of the oppressed are over, & I’m sure that they are glad to hear it.
    Trivia like this whole Clarkson thing, is all the left have to kick off about these days, I see this as a good thing, it proves that the real issues have long gone & folk can get on with their lives.

    Nighty night matey.
