And for Monty - please note this is refferring to WW2 and not imminently.. :old:


Only 69 in the Hendon area - surprising considering there was an RAF base in the area.

And only 11 in the RAF Northolt area. No wonder the Krauts lost the war.

Wanted to take a photo of the spitfire by the gates but thought better of it, not wanting to spend the rest of the day in a prison cell. Had a triffic breakfast at the caff on Northolt Village Green.

the converted church in which I live was damaged by a bomb, causing the services to be held in the basement, but the nearest strike on that map is a couple of streets away. If the things exploded in the air just above ground that might explain it.

But I think the writing gives them away as British "Up Yours Fritz" is not particularly Bavarian

My hotel receptionist pointed me towards the Schweinshaxe specialist - a restaurant called Fuxn. They gave me a Haxe that was bigger than my head :cloud9:

It's a bit more complicated than that, but don't worry your pretty little head about it; just get on with pulling those jobbies out of the pipe.

Looking outside now and we've finally got biergarten weather. Schweinshaxe and Mass (not the Catholic kind) :cloud9:

My finest achievement was the day I had a Bloody Mary with breakfast, hot chocolate with rum at 10 a.m., pre-lunch beers, a bottle of wine with lunch, coffee with Kirsch at 4, then pre-dinner cocktails at 7.

Then I got properly fired in :cloud9:

by Monty. Let's just have a manly hug, make up and move on shall we.

I have a sneaking suspicion that, back in the day, you devoured old Sven's works as much as I did. "Legion of the Damned" was my own favourite. Yours?

There was also a great one in which Tiny and Porta had to escort a prisoner to jail and took plenty of time about it...

The one's where they ended up in the bar in Hamburg were always good.

I've just downloaded the complete set to my Kindle, actually. It's time to re-visit my youth...

of our youth will probably irritate you now.

As you rightly alluded to in your earlier post, the Waffen SS were perhaps one of the mildest regiments that bore the notorious lightning motif.

Do you remember the one where they all find love, including Tiny. Even the Little Legionnaire, whose cock has been shot off, teams up with a fat brothel madam.

Remember when they took over the brothel in Romania and find the Madam hiding, so they try her for crimes against her girls and hang her?

:clap: There really was some good stuff in there.
