No fact :P

No, but I'm expecting to if I hear another " you'd all be talking German in Europe were it not for the US of A " spiel again!
But that's mightily close to a political discussion, so not for the open forum, or Poluxs' thread

You're right Patrick, was a bit gruff of me but meant in jest, I would think you would know by now that there aren't many this side of the pond that have more admiration for the Brits and their titanic and lonely struggle in the early years of WW2 ...............Jim

Now Having seen some of the figures that Moni churns out I bet she could make a killer chess set...


I am sure that a military chess set a la WWII could be good with figures.


Pawns you have you good old rifle man


Bishops. a field priest.


Rook, a watch tower.


knight. I am sure that both sides had mounted units.


The King... Hmm A general


The Queen... A nurse maybe?

Well with Hull's demise into the Championship, we'll have at least 2 matches to see who's best!


Still think a game between us would be interesting!

Never looked at it that way but perhaps you're right; I guess my experiences do effect my reactions to certain things though I try not to be too cynical. After all these years it still seems like yesterday at times, Just my cross to bare I guess but one thing that has always haunted me was just how and why these things can happen and just how small and insignificant one can feel and how easy it is to die , it's living that is difficult and I thank God every day that I was able to survive, meet my wonderful wife and live an almost fairytale life ever since. I am a very lucky man indeed.....Jim
