How can this be?

 

99 is 88.

Cross dressing, but I thought it was 86

I was wondering how to Square Root the Devil 

Hang on tight

I have facebook for a few forums like Aircraft Sales, Paragliding. We have a closed Family group on Messenger to see what the grandkids are doing etc. I use Messenger for Video call overseas friends. If I want the news ill go to website or search for anything else I want. If I want information I go look for it I don't wait for it to drop in my lap.

I remember

Dobermanns (they think they are) with short legs

I presume you were talking about the crooked parking 

Dad prefered Bex but maybe they disapeared before Vincents. I can still remember the taste and unfolding the paper downed with then a coke. Another drug on the bedside table was the old Red and Yellow plastic bottle of Ford Pills. Ha I just googled and there is still a product called Ford Sena Laxitives.

I was quite surprised to find that the Nazis were heavy users of Speed (Pervitin) before and during WW2 - thus the reason the Panzer Blitzkreig invasion forces could go for 3 days non-stop, without sleep, to reaches the shores of France.

Sounds like you've been there, Mike. I visited the bridge and war cemetery in 1985. One thing I remember was the museum run by local monks with the replica huts. They had a bomb suspended by a chain between two posts with a sign reading "a bomb". But they did a good job considering the lack of available artifacts to display.

Without risking too much drift, first trip 2015 100 yrs WWI 3000 at hellfire pass for ANZAC day. Usually a couple of hundred. Death Museum, still run by Monks. When world back to normal recommend trip, cheap and close andplenty to see.

Words can be a minefield in foreign languages. We all talk about the bridge on the River Kwai. In Thai, it's Khwae and pronounced like quack without the 'ck' on the end. The word Kwai as we pronounce it is buffalo, which is a derogatory slang term for someone stupid. But worse still, it's also the slang term for a penis. So to a Thai, you would be saying "Excuse me, could you direct me to the Bridge on the River Dick?"

Thats one of the reasons why the Thai's are always smiling, at what we say. Hello in Thai is Swasdi pronounced  Sawadee, ladies follow with Khaa and Men follow with Khrap. When you get off the plane the Hosties all say Sawadee Khaa with a nice up lifting tone. I was following a group of Russian Body Builders big blokes and they are trying to assimilate saying Sawadee Khaa like a girl every 3 seconds and the Thais couldn't contain themselves from laughter.

The actual Bridge at Kanchanaburi is built over the Mae Klong River which was renamed after the movie for the Tourists (Khwae Yai). The Bridge in the movie was constructed for the set in Sri Lanka

Three is a crowd

Hey Willedoo, I've been on 2 american WW2 subs in the 80's one at Hawaii USS Bowfin and the other at San Fran. the USS Pampanito. Mid 90's scored a vip visit on the USS Tucson while in Brisbane HUGE inside, something like 3 or 4 levels.

Another good movie U571.
