    2010 Remembrance day coming up! Lest we forget!

    Just ordered a couple of poppy pins from British Legion, and while doing it, I wonderend why we do not have the same thing here in Denmark. Allthough Denmark did not participate in WWI - lots of danes from the south of jutland (at that time part of Germany) were drafted into the german army...

    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    I have mixed feelings regarding the memorial too. You know what they say: "A camel is a horse designed by a committee." I think the scrambling pilots are awesom - and the artist should have let it be right there! But then he should also bring in the plotters, the WAAFs, the factoryworkers...

    Flying boots

    Obviously it's wholesale - so if you find out who threy are and where to buy, and decide that the boots are true to originals and of good quality, you have to buy at least 50 pairs or something...:)

    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    Just stumbled over these two - very strong and very touching pictures. Taken at the presentation of The battle of Britain Monument in London - couple of years ago. Two veterans sees themselves. Or is it their long gone brothers in arms? Who knows what goes through these two fine gentlemens minds?

    Is time running out for the wristwatch? BBC Wonders...

    I am totally with you on that one. A watch is more than just telling time. Maybe it's a historic peace - or has a personal history attached to it. (Pulp fiction!!! - and when my son got my old Rolex when he graduated. A watch he always rembered on my arm - ever since his childhood.) Or maybe...

    If you had a chance to travel through a TIME MACHINE for a WEEK? where would you go?

    I would go back to the early thirties in Munich. Go to one of Adolf Hitlers meetings. I would have a pistol in my pocket and I would kill the SOB.

    any good 30s 40s set british tv series???

    Family at War was a great series. So I thought, when I bought it on DVd couple of years back. And I must say the story still holds, many of the actors are still good - some things would be done differently today. Not so much stage - more locations. A bit more action would be nice too - But...
