A good book for this discussion is Mike Spick’s alternative history title: Luftwaffe Victorious. In it, he places the idea that Goering is baited by Goebbles to lead a bombing mission over the UK in 1940, and is shot down and killed.

I’m away from my copy at the moment, but I think i’m right in thinking that he put Kesselring until 1942 and then Frieherr von Richtofen in the top job, and as a result initiated a heavy bomber programme in the He 177 Grief.

All speculation, of course, and again, I am away from my copy, but worth a read just for a ‘what if?’ perspective.

Well don’t leave us in suspenders Moggy- what was it?

Me and my mates have the “Three Car Ultimate Garage” (Patent Pending)

The rules are simple- one rediculous hyper car, your every day car, and one classic. Here’s mine:

1) Mercedes SL65 AMG Black

2) Audi RS 6 Avant, in black.

3) Ford CApri 280.

I’d also have motorbikes, but too many to count!

One of the best acts i’ve ever seen:

Not going to tell you what it is, but it’s completely safe for work, but you MUST have speakers. I laughed so loud that I cried when I saw this for the first time.

Best,

Today I got the results back from a preliminary RAF medical. I have pins and plates in my collar bone after a lost argument with the ground back in 2003, so I needed to fill in a medical form and send it off with my actual application. This morning I got a letter (marked as On Her Majesties Service), in it were the results. I glanced at them, and the first thing which catches my eye were the three big ‘F’s’ next to the three branches (flying, ground and controller). “That’s it” thinks I, I’ve failed. Then I look at the designations underneath. ‘F’ actually means ‘Fit for service’.

That caused a hell of a smile!!

Looks like he’s involved with the cr*p tash competition as well 😉

Unless…

They tack a blonde ponytail onto the back of the Stig’s helmet, make it unable to park (and make a MASSIVE thing out of it) and Robert’s your father’s brother.

Failing that, make it a mini section similar to “Top Gear Stuntman” but they simply give a girl some hopelessly indepth lines about the rear diffuser on an SLR giving 79.6% rear-hydrogenous off-camber econocentric grip, whereas what would have been usefull would be more up-shift in the grubnuts so as to not buckle the trunions under heavy power loads in the upper-middle torque range boundary.

However, it’d have to be a real girly-girl for it to work. The problem with getting Sabine involved with that segment is that a) we’d believe her and b) we’d be right to believe her.
