The Declining Popularity of the Necktie

Mobile Phones?
I have a cellphone...Somewhere. I tend to forget it, when leaving the house. I tend to forget to switch it on. That's how important it is to me. But I would not live without it. It's not a camera, it's not a computer or a GPS. It's not even a radio. It's a telephone! And all though it has a...- Spitfire

This sort of thing makes me furious...

Misconceptions of World War II
Exactly! The most common misconception narrowed down to that line. :) Seen from my part of the world it should rather be: "We would all speak russian, if it hadn't been for us" (At least for some time) -
Misconceptions of World War II
I still love Eddie Izzards version of WWII though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siBX0i1EIWk (Mind you he's british, dressed as a drag and he swears...don't say you haven't been warned.) -

ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!
Rome wasn't build in a day - if you need a helping hand with the design of the book, please let me know. I would love to help you out on that. We could make the greatest - most stunning - book on Irvins the world has ever seen. Because we care about them. It's "con amore".- Spitfire

What goes with your A2?
Normally I never wear a tie, but I found that a pair of sand chinos, a rawwhite shirt WITH a tie (in this case striped burgundy/sand/pale blue) goes very well with my sealbrown goat A2.- Spitfire

Danish movie on the resistance in WWII
I am thinking and thinking. Will let you know, if I come up with some titles. Regarding "homemade" Stenguns my father told me, that he had one during the war, but did not trust it so much. Especially not because it once emptied a magazine directly at the roof, when he banged it against a table... -
