As a tank crewman in the 2nd SS Panzer Corps, “Das Reich” he was in the Arnhem area on R+R (Rest and Recuperation) when the paras dropped in. I guess they were pretty pissed off...

History would suggest he was right..

It's a strange world.


My first reply to this thread was because I knew before I read it, it would be something fantastic.
And wish I had the capacity to understand.
I did watch Apollo 18. Sorted out the garden and more prep for our trip.

T. No pics of the baby?

I watched it on my laptop with headphones which maybe added to the claustrophobia. I enjoyed it for the majority, but let down by what the reason was what was going on. Stonespiders?

They wonder why the cinema is dying? because there in no "theatre" to it any more, no experience no grandeur with a stack them high and sell them expriance attitude with a business model that's slowly desolving /end rant

People spoil my cinema experience.
Why do they think they must eat?
I truelly hate cinemas.
I went to see the last instalment of Twighlight. So it started off well. Got there very early, sat in the middle as you do. About half dozen other people. It filled up as it was the second day of showing in about the two minutes before it is going to start.
Because of how people sat with their various groups, I had an empty seat to my left, my wife had one to her right. A couple ends up asking us if we can move so they can sit together.
I gave up my seat that I had sat in for the last hour to give to xxxxx who arrived minutes before the film was going to start. Prime seats without any of the hassle. I was polite but xxxx fuming, lost my concentration on the cross eyed vampire girl for the first fifteen minutes.

If I'm forced to go, I get there early and sit in the second row from the back closest to ile, call me a creature of habit....as to eating thing, I would much rather have a pint with my film and not a soft drink

That's excellent. Is it a long course? and is it days or evenings?
Also do you have a particular reason to specialise in aluminium?

I'd be quite keen to do something similar myself.

Paul reminds me of a Dime bar hard on the outside soft in the middle like a armourdilo but ginger.

Dime bars are hard on the outside and inside, so don't know what you've been eating? laugh

I can't think of anything forum suitable to put here with regards to Paul, pussycats and ginger and have to keep deleting, sorry laugh
