    The picture above showing a policeman carrying a child dates from 1966. It was the Aberfan Disaster when 144 people died, 112 of them children. I had attended Pantglas school as a child, my father being the village policeman. The policeman in the picture is Vic Jones, he was the man who got me interested in angling with his stories of salmon poaching. He was great to me and the last time I spoke to him he had eaten a huge jar of pickled onions that my mother had made. He could not eat chips as he was diabetic and this was the eventual cause of his death. He was my father's best man.

    Not for the time being, hoping it stays that way. If there is I'll probably get on a plane to either Turkey or Dubai and work from there remotely but with less restrictions.

    Oh Panzer IV how I admire thee let me count the ways over a bottle of British Bulldog beer.

    Is there no end to the reinventions of the Panzer IV that the barmy boxheads can come up with...

    In another variation for the wehrmacht heer armoured division this is a Panzer IV/70(A) Self Propelled Anti-Tank Gun which has a much longer L/70 version of the regular 75mm L/40 armament

    But the game is up and the party is over as it is spring 1945 and a US Army jeep with a 50 Cal and a european summer camping vacation trailer has ordered fritz to open the hatches and come out hände hoch

    That beer brought back a few memories. In the mid 90's the oil industry was in severe decline, and I was going to be paid off. As part of my redundancy terms, the company I worked for would pay for any training plus expenses I wished to undertake. The prospects of getting a similar position in the oil industry looked slim, so my thoughts turned to buying a pub. I chose to do course with Moorlands Brewery in Abingdon, Oxfordshire (brewers of "Old Speckled Hen", and gain British Institute of Innkeeping creditation. First time that I'd been in Abingdon since doing my para course at RAF Abingdon in 1970.

    That is not the Haka Hat.

    The Luftwaffe Leutnant is doing the Macarena, the Sturmbannfuehrer is busting a Saturday night fever routine and the old Obersturmbannfuehrer has had too much to drink and is dreaming of former glories.

    equivalent $8.14 AUD for 4 x 500ml, quite often on my sopping list. How much is it in Oz?

    ^It is quite expensive if you buy less than a case.

    So economy forces me to buy big!

    But even then it works out about $2.70 for a 330ml bottle

    Fascinating colours. Fall is certainly a special time of the year in the Northern latitudes.

    She flew in last night, from Florida for the marathon.

    She earned her doctorate degree in Chicago but told me she would never ever want to live there long-term. She complained about not only having to dig her car out in the mornings (snow) but she would have to dig out a parking spot to park her car in the evenings.
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    Oh yes . . . I had a Jeep Wrangler, soft top and sides bought in my first summer!!! - and added a snow-shovel to it and made some good money while studying digging out neighbours' cars and clearing driveways.

    But yes - never want to go back
