Good morning.
Beautiful morn. Snow almost gone.
-
Now instead of being a counrtry we are a "poor cousin" province of Canada.
That should be changing in the near future Arch, with the new deal and all?

Straight copy/paste the folder JClark.
Edit: or copy/paste the contents into another folder.

Outstanding Shep. Thank you. Those are just the kind of pix I'm looking for, for ........ for soomething .....

Good morn.
Another snow dump last night. A good 10cm/4" came down.

SARGENT YORK!!!!
Another top 10 I forgot about. Countless times as a kid my buddies and I would re-inact the movie.
#6 BraveheartMel's historical look at the Scot's battle with England set the bar for realstic battlescenes of the dark ages. Great stuff.
Well actually Fork, Willy Wallace is well into the medieval times, that of Edward I, aka Longshanks, aka The Hammer of Scotland. Without going into my usual pedantic ramblings, keep it short and just say the demarkation for the Dark Age and the Middle Age (Europe) is the coming of "Feudalism", if such a term is accurate. For Britain that would be the 11th century (William the Bastard/Conquerer), and in France under the Carolingian (9th century) or maybe more Fully under the Capetians (10th century).
And I'll stop now.
Willy was hanged, drawn & quartered in 1305 btw.

Far out Lee.

As if there was any doubt...
The doubt comes with Fossett himself, who hasn't been the luckiest person in such endeavours.
No doubt about Rutan though. One of the greatest aeronautical engineers of all time.
Hey Grougho.

Saw that Arch. Interesting.
I'm guessing it's how the military budget is handled.

Good morning.
Beautiful but cold day. Won't last long tho as more snow headed this way.
-
ZULU!!!!!!! AAcckk how could I forget that one. Top ten. Hmmm, something will have to move. Nah, stuff it in, it'll fit.
Tour of Duty I still watch week nights. As it comes on at 2 am I usually fall asleep near the end or during 12 O'clock High right after. I think I'm thru the 3rd or 4th re-cycling and near the end of this cycle as last night Johnson went home. In fact, it's on in half an hour, so it's bed time.
Lord of the Rings. Pure fantasy but the battle scenes were impressive.
Glory is another great one.
Enemy at the Gates was all engrossing.
Young Lions (??) with Brando ?
-
Brannaugh
I have to give him a lot of credit for re-introducing Shakespeare in a very enjoyable form.
Don't much like the over acting of traditional Shakespeare, le alone try to figure out what is being said. Heck, my favourite Hamlet starred Mel Gibson. He just fit.

Thanks Rick.
Kelly's Heroes. That would have been an easy bet you'd chose that one.
Ya lots of good movies here. Can't remember them all, and tired of editing my post.

1. Alexander
2. Troy
3. King Arthur
4. Gladiator
5. Sink the Bismarck
6. Battle of Britain
7. Tora, Tora, Tora
8. Galipoli
9. Deep Blue World
10. Master & Commander
11. Last of the Mohicans
12. Wind Talkers (I think that is what it's called. Cherokee (?) code siphers)
13. Midway
14. Run Silent Run Deep
15. Dambusters
16. Platoon
17. Battle of Bataan
18. Tobruk
19. Lawrence of Arabia
20. Bridge too Far
Some made for TV stuff:
1. War (Gwyn Dyer)
2. World at War (Olivier narrates)
3. Masada
4. Cadfael
5. Sharpe
Edit: Ooops, how can I forget For King and Empire. Replace Cadfael as Cadfael is more of a 12th century detective story, inspite of all the swords and crossbows.
Damn, forgot about Henry V too. That's in my top 10 movies.
Edit again: Well For King & Empire is a doc series, in which case Civil War I would have to be included too, as #3 & #4 respectively.

Worst single action loss for the RCMP/NWMP since the Riel Rebellion of 1885.
S!
I hope they kill the bastard who did it.They did. That would be Jim Roszko.

Good morning.
Kind of a non descript day. Could warm up to the freezing point.
-
Good morn.
Stopped snowing and the sun is out. I'm feeling better ....... except for the fact it's only going to be -4C/25F here and +10C/50F in Edmonton. Been that way for awhile now. What's with that?
-
..........PF is a one time buy...........
Aye now there's the thing. Pay once and get unlimited (how, when, where, with whom) time. The math just isn''t in pay-to-play favour. Then you have to go through the payment process. Nope.
Does it have a mission builder? If not then for me WW2ONLINE is definitely lost. Heck, can you even play offline?
Does it have those funny little arrow thingies around the edge of the screen telling you where planes are? Now THAT would irritate me to no end.
All that before even begining to discuss the FM, DM etc etc.
Thanks for the offer anyway MW, but it just isn't for me.
Great to see you again btw.

Mornin.
More snow with temps might get to -5C/23F.

Had to take a sick break anyhow.

I have DSL. During the storm season, spring, service gets problematic, though it's better now than when I 1st got it almost 3 years ago.
