Saftey First

The Older Gentleman says...

Tonto?

 

*Snort*

 

Not with me it isn't.

In fact, with WW1, I doubt it ever will. With WW2, you have a point.

 

And don't ever discount the materiel sent by the Allies. Russia wouldn't
have produced any more aircraft post-1941 if it hadn't been for American
aluminium.

Of course, the Soviets never mentioned Allied aid after the war.

Meanwhile - down on the ranch - Tonto while disguised as a door, had
his knob shot off.

 

braking, tsk, tsk.

Weren't you having trouble fitting your jeepy thing into your garage?

 

Sometime around Tue, 31 May 2005 20:14:19 +0100, The Older Gentleman
babbled on about:

Yebbut, what about the infamous bauxite mine that in Siberia, the first
truly man made land based item to be seen from outer space(1)

(1) Shows as a big black blot against the snow, and is visable from
space unlike the GW of C.

What about Holland? that's mostly man-made, innit?

That's the place name. That's what it's got on every lyrics site I've
looked at.

I've just played the mp3 a few times, and there is quite a long bit
after it, though, including your bit. Gawd knows what that's there
for.

Mining bauxite is one thing. Producing aircraft-grade aluminium is quite
another.

I mean, Soviet Russia had more arable acreage than anywhere else on the
planet, but still couldn't produce enough food.....

 

Railcar?

Yeah, and the panel gaps on a Rangie.

 

When I was about 14, I used to wander down the station [0] at
lunchtime with a couple of my mates and sit at the end of the
platform. We'd hear the rails sing ages before the train came into
view.

We also used to do that thing of putting one and two pence pieces on
the rail, and the train wheels would flatten and bash them out of
shape.

OIC. We have a Jeep jeep, though, not a Suzuki jeep...

 

"Things to do in Essex when you're dead"

 

Come on, you must have done that? It was doubly exciting in the south
because the rails where electrified.

 

All of them or just the one on insulators in the middle?

 

Curses, rumbled.

All right, yes, on the K&ESR in the summer of 1977 (I was laying track
and building Wittersham Road station at the time).
