no different to someone starting a ‘discussion’ purely to get a rise, judging by the amount of threads you’ve started that appears to be yr only motive.

sounds lovely, never been to west wittering but heard its a nice beach

The BRISTOL BLENHEIM,a complete history by graham warner,a monster of a book and with the appendices listing the losses day by day a very sobering read of the job those blokes were doing, also it allowed me to roughly cross check losses mentioned in the book SHIPHUNTER by R E GILMAN which cheered me up a little as some of those who he mentioned were shot down appear to have survived to be captured, a rare occurence for the blenheim boys.

I have to admit i cannot remember the champagne part but it has to be remembered that the eton/harrow/sherborne etc type ( ie stereotype upper class) suffered very high losses as well and subalterns in the lines died very quickly, i also thought the music was an odd fit but i still enjoyed the 2nd episode and reckon the other recent similar programs are good also.

i’m surprised this thread is still running, how long did the last religion/god/darwin etc thread carry on till it turned to insults then got canned.

just finished ‘hack attack’ about the news of the world hacking, just started ‘iron curtain’ by anne applebaum after which will be ‘savage continent’ as described by by john green then ‘wimpy’ about the wellington.

no,all politicians will tarnish,rubbish and defame the opposition,its all part of their charm

‘flat earth news’ by nick davies, about modern media and all types of news sources, very sobering reading about how our news is produced.
