  1. But it could be something from the King! I bet you got an MBE in the New Years Honours List and he’s had to send the gong to you through the post because you didn’t reply to his letter inviting you to the Palace. If only you’d responded to that earlier text you received informing you that your need to collect a letter from the sorting office then you wouldn’t have missed a nice day out and all the cucumber sandwiches you can eat!
     
  2. This made me laugh a bit more than it probably should have. Happy new year Brian etc…

  3. With you on this. A fine example of correctly oriented tulip.
    What’s your thoughts on blue vein chicken/ ram tiles, never to be mixed, right.

  4. That is definitely an Accidental Partridge, along the lines of when Alan dumped Jill over the airwaves and he referred to their “stolen afternoon”.

  6. Tbh, I’ve never considered them and thank God for small mercies or else they would just provide more triggers for my OCD

  8. Jean Todt's fabulous creation, which he followed with teams winning Paris Dakar (4 times?). Le Mans 1st 2nd & 3rd one year, then provide Schumacher with the car for his F1 sucess. Amazing guy.

  10. The 205 for me was the stand out hot hatch, my Son would love one.

  12. Awesome cars. One of my 1990s era girlfriends had one which she used to thrash. Unfortunately but not surprisingly she wrote it off when she misjudged the corner at the top of Park Lane, spun it and it eventually ended up on its roof in the middle of the Marble Arch roundabout.
     
  13. Not really connected, but IMO interesting nevertheless...... In the seminal TV series 'The World At War', the footage was systematically reversed to make the Allies advance on screen from left to right and the Axis from right to left.

  14. That would be historically accurate on the whole for the Septics, Empire troops, the Brits and ze Germans, but not for the Red Army.
     
  15. Yep... & the only odd one I could think of would be the North Africa campaign.
     
  16. IIRC, didn’t the 8th Army fight from Libya towards Egypt, ie: left to right? :thinkingface:

    The Italian campaign would be down to up though, as would the Pacific island hopping.

  18. My Dad was in both of those campaigns. 8th Army. R to L in N Africa and bottom to top in Italy (then all the way back down again for de-mob. Then all the way home on a train). This was taken from his truck at the liberation of Tunis.

  19. Yeah. Suppose should've said British and Empire & American were shown L to R..... in Europe. I have no idea what they decided for the French though. Probably just moving in circles? ;)
