Throwaway No. 1

  1. I'm sure you'll look lovely in it.
     
  2. I'm simply sure we can all agree the German Navy did a sterling job in the early 1940s!
     
  3. And my yellow DMs.
     
  4. I’d be buying the Black one, and yes despite what I posted earlier I’d wear it.

    Just be careful you don't wear it anywhere you’ll also need a Gasmask
     
  5. No, I've come to the conclusion I'd need a peaked cap ala Peter Finch on the Graf Spey on top of me and a Graf Spey underneath me to really pull it off.
     
  6. I've also bought a scrying mirror. Not that I hope to peer into the future or anything, I just wanted a big, flat, weighty chunk of obsidian.

    It really is a black mirror though! Then again so was the tank on my Bonnie.

    And I don't see the future in it. I reckon what you're supposed to do is stare into it while someone pushes long needles up from under the base of your skull, until they hit the visual centre, at which point the future becomes obvious to you.
     
  7. Not if you were one of the 77 evacuated children lost at sea to a u-boat on the SS City of Benares, ya wouldn’t.

  8. Well, I suspect the thousands of others weren't overly keen either. But what fool thought Benares would float? Even Cork didn't.

    I realise I should have prefaced the observation with "Still too soon?" but after eighty-odd years it loses it's immediacy somewhat. I could always revive my musings on the derivation of the signal for death in the Coliseum.

  9. Too soon...
     
  10. [Intro]
    Germany was having trouble, what a sad, sad story
    Needed a new leader to restore its former glory
    Where, oh where was he?
    Where could that man be?
    We looked around and then we found the man for you and me
    And now it's

    [Verse 1]
    Springtime for Hitler and Germany
    Deutschland is happy and gay
    We're marching to a faster pace
    Look out, here comes the master race

    [Verse 2]
    Springtime for Hitler and Germany
    Winter for Poland and France
    Springtime for Hitler and Germany
    Come on, Germans, go into your dance

    [Bridge]
    I was born in Dusseldorf, and that is why they call me Rolf
    Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party

    [Verse 3]
    Springtime for Hitler and Germany
    Goosestep's the new step today
    Bombs falling from the skies again
    Deutschland is on the rise again

    [Verse 4]
    Springtime for Hitler and Germany
    U-boats are sailing once more
    Springtime for Hitler and Germany
    Means that soon we'll be going
    We've got to be going
    You know we'll be going to war!

  11. Notwithstanding Mel Brookes' abilities, it's still too soon o_O
     
  12. Then it always will be.
     
  13. Ahh the benefits us mere mortals don’t get to experience, we only have our fathers stories and history books to rely upon
    Next time you do a time leap, take a fucking camera and think of us boys back here.
     
  14. 77 kids is fuck all compared to the numbers, mostly Jews, that died in the concentration camps. And throughout Eastern Europe. To be angered by the obviously ironic comment "I'm simply sure we can all agree the German Navy did a sterling job in the early 1940s!" though essentially no-one is alive now who was when it happened, more than eighty years ago, particularly when the arguably worse accected dealt with it decades ago, is morbid fanaticism. Unresolved issues, as they say.
     
  15. Yeah that’s all well and good but it was only a throwaway comment in reality
    Not the camera bit, we’d love to see some historical or future pics.
