Hell's Angels?

Yeah, I watched that on the History channel recently, and I think I'd seen it before as well on one of those World's Most Amazing Video programmes, but the thing that amazed me the most was just how nonchalant the pilot was in recounting his experience. "Yeah, felt a bit of a thonk and returned...

Great links, thanks Fen!

Ah seriously, those UN guys deserve a lot of praise - it's a TANKless job

Is that the same HG Yeoman who was posting on the Platoon forums a while ago? After a game between the FI and the HG he posted a blatantly partisan post-match analysis on our forums without consideration. I posted a big rant saying that it was perfectly okay for the HG guys to say what they like on ...

Battle of the River Plate??

There was a documentary made about him last year. He was a pretty amazing guy, and not just for his contribution to music... he came across as a compassionate, philosophical, positive and fun-loving person who would have commanded love and respect no matter what he chose to do with his life. I've be...
