I dont know if he was supporting you or if in fact he was just showing the real situation. He may have just been fed up with all the crap and wanted to get on with some sensible discussions.

Yeah fair point. My comments on this go for everyone on this forum.

But Mummy he hit me first. Just proves one of my points you rated not because of bad info or posting but because I rated you. How dare I!!!

I am not trying to lecture anyone but see the post above.

Sure a fair comment again but simply another “He did it first” story. And BTW Jesus doesnt come into this and I try not to talk about religion.

I never said you couldnt post what you wanted but just gave some friendly advice on the matter. The replies of several other posters are testament to the fact that these posts arent liked.

You are so far up yourself arent you so far you have proved your self not to be mature or knowledgable and also sexist. Not to mention He did it first. You seem to repeat a lot of what you say leading me to think that you ARE of LIMITED knowledge. OH yeah I forgot to mention YOU are NOT the be all and end all of this forum or indeed a great many others and A HELL OF A LOT of people know A HELL OF A LOT MORE than you. But I will give you time to prove yourself before saying any more on the matter. And I am sure if you look over some of my posts before you came along I probably have disaggreed with Arthur and probably quite a few more from this forum.
>think whatever you want. not everyone has jumped on me like

Dont worry I will think what I like freedom of speech is a wonderful thing but no one can ever take away your very own thoughts.

RE: The meaning of D-Day.
Thanks Hand
I do know that it was Operation Overlord but was just speaking generally about D-Day and what that meant and in this case D-Day was the actual day that Overlord was to begin. Hence D-Day is the code word for the Day overlord happened or was to happen and Overlord was the operation.
Does this make sense to anyone???

The fact that you had to go around rating everyone with negative rating that rated you negatively shows you need to mature a little.
I read most of your posts and here are a few examples.
**Hey man for the love of god can you stop posting so frequently? so many questions all the time.**
no one ever said there were any rules on how many posts you can put up.
**a chick on the forum, that’s funny**
Whats so funny about that?? A lot of girlies around here more knowledgable and considerate than you.
**shows your class. what are you 14 years old?is that the middle finger that went up your rectum when you were abused?**
This just really is in bad taste and this is why I rated you negatively not any other reason. There is no place on this forum for comments like this. And I think you unfairly rated me as you know little or nothing of my past posts here. However that is your choice and thats fair enough I rest with the knowledge you can only rate me once.
**tsk, tsk. upset because i gave you a negative rating? if you have the cajones to give me a negative rating(which you did first) then be a man and take a negative rating in return. don’t cry like a baby and complain. i got -14 points you didnt see my whip up a fuss. the point is this, if you give one be prepared to get one in return. did you expect me to give you a positive rating? especially since i apologized god knows how many times and i said i meant no malice. dont get on a moral highhorse and lecture to me you little prick.**
**Which you did first**
God!!! this just shows how petty this has become. This is not very mature at all. My 10 year old neighbour says things like this.
**if you give one be prepared to get one in return** Negative ratings
As I said fair enough but at least give a negative rating for something othwer than “You gave me one first”
**dont get on a moral highhorse and lecture to me you little prick**
Using words like this is only going to offend people and not only the haters out there but with the ordinary posters among us who like a good discussion.
**Your favourite members on the 3 forums**
These posts never work and always end up getting somebody annoyed. Anyway this is why we have the rating system so we can tell someone that their posts are good or bad.
**people here have such self inflated egoes like you said that they wont probably be able to stomach the fact they they dont know much(they pretend to know though).**
There are alot of people here that know an awful lot more than you. I do not claim to be one of them as I myself am here to learn. and if I can help someone on the way then thats fine by me.
**anyhow i stand by the fact that some people know more than others and deserve to be mentioned.**
By this do you mean the ones that are on your side your buddies.
Sorry to create a post from some of your posts but this is what it comes down to.

Keithmac would I be right in saying that if you wanted to remove the master piston that you would first have to release all the articulating rods first in order to release the Master.

RE: It’s the RAF over that Dam again!
I agree with all the above comments too.
I had the girl from upstairs come and ask me for help with her school project. She is in primary school and is doing a project on ww2 and would I help her. I said yes and asked her what she wanted. The project was on air raid shelters and the war in general. After 10 mins or so and a few good hits on the old Goggle search engine, I had a few piccies of an Anderson shelter and cutaways etc etc. So that done she showed me what she had so far and this was a fewe pieces of paper and a few pictures one of A Halifax bomber being bombed up with the caption of “This is a German plane with bombs used to bomb Britain” Of course I corrected her and found out it was one off my site that a neighbour had printed off for her. I then got her a few pictures off the internet of Heinkel and Junkers just to give a German example. She told me that her teacher told them not top bring in anything in to school that had a German Swastika as they could be arrested as this wasnt allowed in Britain.
Now I dont know about anyone else but this is the first time I heared about this law in Britain. Certainly as far as I know there are a few countries in which the Swastika is not allowed but not Britain.
This was new to me as in primary school I had a book for my own project with a German dagger with Swastikas on it as well as an Iron Cross with Swastika and I was never told off. Or is it that today we are trying to be too PC these days.
Same as the very famous dog that nobody likes to mention today. But he had a name that was acceptable in that time. And for those who dont know his name and I suspect there will be very few, his name was Nigger. Dont you find it funny how black people go around adressing themselves like “Hey nigger hows it going” yet we all try to avoid the word. I suppose its just like being gay years ago it meant happy but now its all about being homosexual.
Anyway we are far too pc these day I really think we should call a Spade a Spade and a Club a Club.

Sorry for ranting a bit but everything these days is blown out of all proportion.
RE: The meaning of D-Day.
Hi all and thanks for the replies.
I had thought that D had to stand for something but as with all things military it stands for something and nothing.
A330CRAZY: your post of the meaning made the most sense which was that D is merely the code for a day on which an operation would start and that H-hour would be the Hour in which an operation would start so all said and done the Day or Hour could be talked about but noone would know exactly when it would take place hence D-Day.
Everyone elses post also made sense however so I am still a little confused but have accepted the unamed day hence D-Day theory.
Thanks people.
