    just had a word with a chap who knows about these things. This is what he said.
    (Guess what first time I tried to post it It froze. :confused:)

    Issues like that are normally down to what version of Internet Explorer is being used – I have a lot of customers have strange issue such as that if using version 9 – and they have found reverting back to version 8 solves it – but saying that it seems a lot of people are using version 8 already – so it could be that the website is designed for version 9 and upgrading to that will solve it

    If not the normal procedure would be to disable all add-ins and toolbars from Internet Explorer to see if it is one of them conflicting – this can be done by opening IE, clicking tools, internet options and then on the advanced tab choosing restore advanced settings and then clicking reset – finally restart computer and see if it then works okay

    And as for the virus programs mentioned, I would definitely avoid Norton – and having more than one installed will definitely cause problems as they basically cancel each other out – AVG is the best, as confirmed in various official tests and also one I did myself recently and published on my website.

    Just watched it. The first couple of minutes seemed a bit over the top and not real. But once you got into the story it gets quite entertaining and turns out a great film.
    Not quite sure wether youngsters will grasp, how bad the racial predjudice was pre-war and during the war.
    Maybe this film will encourage many to read up on the history of the Red Tails.

    [QUOTE

    Someone commented that the 9/11 attackers somehow managed to select good weather for their murderous assault – and still the mighty US military could not effect an intercept with their F16s. And if they had, what then ? Does anyone really think that they would have pressed the button or pulled the trigger over one of the most densely populated urban areas on the planet?

    I am one who believes that they would have pressed the button.
    Not much use training pilots if they are not going to do their job.

    9/11. There was not much the US military could have done about it, as it was over before they knew about it.
    This documentry gives an insight of what went on.

    Any fully fueled plane crashing into an olympic stadium, where people were sitting/standing, shoulder to shoulder would kill more people, than the debris from a plane after a missle had hit it, even over the most densly populated area. At least the people below would have a brief second to dive for cover.
    And then I don’t think that it would equal this incident.

    Dec. 16, (15.17 hours) – Batt. SS 500, Hellendoorn, Site 400 (Eelerberg – first period), V-2 rocket fired, impacted the crowded Rex Cinema in Antwerp, in the Keyserlei, resulting in 567 casualties to soldiers and civilians, 291 injured and 11 houses were destroyed. 296 of the dead & 194 of the injured were U.S., British, & Canadian soldiers. (This was the single highest death total from one rocket attack during the war in Europe.)

    I do love a story with a happy ending

    Moggy

    This one was close in 1944.

    Nov. 12, (20.43 hours) – Battery 444, (Site 47), V-2 rocket fired, impacted Westminster (airburst). This rocket was presumed to have exploded high above the Houses of Parliament
