    Could we not have a for sale/trade/market place page ,and keep UAT for well er unanswered topics

    We have a whole forum for that, not just a page...if it’s a thread and it’s unanswered, then it’s UAT and will show up as so...too difficult to separate them out...

    This is a map of the Russian military excersise Zapad that was held last year. According to the Wiena Accord NATO has the right to inspect Russian excersises if more than 13 000 soldiers take part, so Russia reported 12 700 soldiers. The real number was about 70 000.
    M = Navy/Marines, B = Land forces/Army, L = Air force, R = Ground based missiles.
    White/pink pattern = anounced excersise area, White/red pattern = expanded excersise area.

    This map reminds me very much of the 1980's ......

    Evidence of prehistoric moths and butterfly's found in Germany, the first time evidence of such old moths has been found! Interesting and also might show that Higgins opened his wallet over the Christmas period! :D

    Some amazing autographs : X-files , Katsumura (Suzukis bodyguard , Fist of Fury...obscure as hell) , Phantom brass ring in bag after nearly 20 yrs.

    Yes , I found 10 out of 12 Phantom stickers still attached to comics....you'd think they would be easier to find loose but that isn't so.

    I've been very lucky obviously :v

    So tonight I've partaking in some fine wine, single malt and listening to Pink Floyd, Hans Zimmer live and some assorted classical music, my wife commented that my music choice was very " middle class" I responded that her coarse voice and lowly opinions were upsetting the equilibrium, I then chastised her for likening me to the middle classes and sent her back to to the scullery! She now not talking to me!! What's so very wrong with Vivaldi?

    The Bride has just returned from visiting her mother in Leipzig for her birthday, and brought me a little present...

    I watched from Russia with love on sunday. I have seen this film only two times before. Although I am not intersted in the clothes that James Bond wears in the films I must say I do like the hat he wears in this film. Does any one know what this type of hat is called?

    I'm reading an interesting article in Time magazine. Special forces make up 5% of the US military personel, but in 2016 more special forces soldiers were killed than all conventional military personel combined.This was the first time in history, but it happened again in 2017.

    In 2001 there were 1.4 million men and women serving in the US military, 43 000 of them were special ops. Last year the numbers were 1.3 million in total and 70 000 of them special forces. While the number of SF soldiers have increased, the number of missions have increased even more. Post-traumatic stress disorder, dicorces, suicides, alcohol and drug problems have growth worse as a result.

    I see Victoria Beckham is in trouble for using a very
    Underweight anorexic model. The parents could claim
    To be raising her next generation of stick thin models ?

    I watched a programme last night " the making of modern Britain" last night's episode focused on the great war or ww1. There was a fact given that the creeping barrage could be heard in London!!! That must be 300 miles! Is this a well known fact?
