Free Armani jacket scam (Anyone have this great opportunity yet?)
no trunks here In this country they operate from white vans, and it's more often fake Hi-fi speakers that are 'left over' from an inaccurate delivery, or power tools etc. I did hear of the jacket scam once though, they even turn up in country towns trying to fleece us bumpkins, not realising...- dr greg

Who else grinds coffee?
old fashioned I just grind half a cup of beans, which is about 6 shots worth at a shop I'm told, pour into a paper filter, and drizzle the boiling water over it...better than any expresso I've ever experienced anywhere in the world...and lots of brown sugar...one of these a day is sufficient I...- dr greg

justin time
Having scored (for old time's sake) a pair of snakeskin Justins recently, I was horrified when a passer-by wanted to know why I had the shaft inside my jeans....well I always thought that unless one was riding through the sagebrush near a lonesome pine, one didn't expose the shaft, only women...- dr greg

Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
fair enough That pretty much answers my original question, I had an image of this being a group of people pulling their own wagon so to speak, but now I understand the context, and at least we got some interesting views expressed in the interim. -
Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
enlightening OK so as I understand it, there are corresponding re-enactors that have specific US units that fought against this one in actual engagements which are recreated? That makes it a bit clearer. -
Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
again I ask Can I just restate that I have no axe to grind here, my father's family were all killed in the blitz, yet I speak some German, visited there a few times in the early 70's chasing Krautrock bands, and drive a VW, I've also owned a Japanese car even though my other grandfather fought... -
Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
For example I hesitate to post this photo for fear of igniting the issue again beyond my original innocent enquiry, but I think it may illustrate the point PADEN made http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-166-0527-04,_Kreta,_Kondomari,_Erschie%C3%9Fung_von_Zivilisten.jpg... -

Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
vicarious experience I do remember reading a while back, and the story may well have been apocryphal, that there was an island off Norway somewhere that had a replica concentration camp on it staffed with people in SS uniforms etc, but here's the thing, it was supposedly set up by rich Jews as... -
Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
specifics I know there are plenty of WW2 reenactors in this country, and someone no doubt has to dress up as the 'bad guys', as do film extras, so I am not suggesting that mediaeval jousting weekends are insulting Crusaders, but to have a specific unit modelled on very rigid parameters seems to... -
Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest
genuine question Why? I appreciate the historical accuracy etc, that's amazing, but why a Wehrmacht unit? They were "the enemy" after all, I don't know of any Australians putting together a Japanese outfit, and I can imagine the outcry if someone did, it's all very well moving on from the... -
Edible Gold Leaf
merde l'or or something similar,to me the consumption of gold just because you can is a ridiculous affectation, as the stuff would not be digested, just passed on so to speak, silver on the other hand has reputed virus-killing properties and other health benefits so there is possibly some sense...- dr greg

Misleading History on the web.
And from what I can gather, most don't bother, this is one of the few places on earth where it is compulsory, but the turnout in most of the Western world is pathetic, what's the percentage in the UK for example?- dr greg

Misleading History on the web.
what you see I think we might have covered some of these issues in a previous thread relating to the 'Hollywood' view of history, and the relevant responsibilities , or lack thereof, regarding the depiction of the past. Much of the 'history' that we have access to about the period before say...- dr greg
