The odd thing is, C.C. and lanc actually do know each other, and last I heard was that they were school mates.

Oh dear! The Poor unfriendly diddumses! Do they nees a hugsy-wugsy?
:angel:

[the lancaster kicks ass]

he get's the impression you want me to give you a hug, BTW, dude, stop trying to hug me at school, it doesn't look good....................

 

[MichaelHenley]

Ok. I can only go on here at school- currently I have 6 assignments due over the next 2-4 weeks, So I can't go on @ home.

 

[lesofprimus]

So hows that Aussie soccer team feeling these days???

 

[MichaelHenley]

I don't know- but good on Iraq for beating somebodey, even if they did have to beat us- gives them a reason to be happy...

 

[lesofprimus]

Hehe... Like freedom from a tyranical murderer isnt enough reason to be happy????

 

[MichaelHenley]

Yeah, but with all the Moqtada-al-sadur stuff, that would tone down the relief of being free from him... Y'know?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

they're through to the semi-finals now.............

 

[MichaelHenley]

How did they go in the end?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i dunno but we got our best medal haul for 20 years, 30 in total, 9 gold, 9 silver and 12 bronze................

 

[MichaelHenley]

Heh Heh Heh... We beat you!

 

[Lightning Guy]

And we took everybody.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and that's not what the olympics is about..............

 

[Gemhorse]

3 Gold and two Silver isn't bad for a country of 4 million, NZ's Olympic post-mortem is held to be a positive outcome....Anyway, I vote the Heinkel He-111, which saw service from the Spanish Civil War right thru to 1945, a testament to it's rugged, lumbering capabilities...While I've never been a great fan of the Blenheim, it's contribution to the Allied Nightfighter program was huge, being the first to use AI Radar, which of course led to greater developments and tactics...[like the Mosquito !!] - It also gave us the Beaufort, which saw alot of service down here in the Pacific with the Aussies...but the Beaufighter was definately the best outa the Bristol Stables though...The Blenheim filled a vital role in the early tough times of the War though and credit is due here. - I feel the He-111 was a much greater 'all-rounder', successive models were used in many different capacities, in different theatres....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the only real reason the He-111 was used all the way throught the war was because the germans had nothing else to use...........

 

[cheddar cheese]

and that's not what the olympics is about..............

of course it is winning is everything

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no it's not...............

 

[lesofprimus]

Winning isnt everything, but getting more Gold Medals than any other Country in the World MOST CERTAINLY is...
