oldbus Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Ha, must have been a young un Ian...the nearest he´s been to a war film was probably Top Gun!! The old DVD collection at homes has....... A bridge too far Battle of Britain 633 Sqn Dirty Dozen Kelly´s heroes Private Ryan Eagle has landed Saints & Soldiers The longest day Great Escape Memphis Belle Eye of the needle Where Eagles dare Steiner Das Boot U571 ....... must get Dambusters
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Where Eagles Dare is my all time favourite. Black Hawk Down is a great film too. The Longest Day The Battle Of Britain The Great Escape The Dam Busters are runners up. I remember seeing 633 Squadron when I was a kid, and built an Airfix Mosquito the week after. When I watched it a few months ago I thought 'This is pants'....

jimbo Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 No, lets forget Rambo There's not been an answer to the original post has there? :lol: Here's one then........ When I was about 18, I went out with my mates and one of them brought a friend along (their name escapes me now). On the way back from the pub in a neighbouring village, we stopped off in the woods to have a fire and a few smokes, as was the custom. So the conversation was kind of usual boy-ish stuff. Women, sex, etc. Then this kid pipes up: "So has anyone else here ever had a wet dream about their mum?" Even with all the leaves on the leaves on the ground, you coulda heard a pin drop Needless to say, he didn't really hang out with us again.
V8ian Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 We have another lad at work who only runs on 9v, asks a question to my mate Kev, Whats the difference between the milk in Blue and Green cartons, Well explains Kev, its milk from Fat cows and thin cows, its the way they feed them, Thanks for that Kev , Goes home and asks his Mum the same question, and gets a very similar answer!!!!, next night he asks Kev, can you drink Reindeer Milk, of course you can, you can even buy it in Tescos at christmas, this was about a week before Crimbo, Promptly dissapeard only to come back fumung, He had gone over to Tescos and asked for Reindeer milk, and was asked to leave!!!, another time he was had with the Prescription Windscreen he asked somone iabout their new glasses were needed to drive, He even came out with another one which I probably shouldent repeat, but I will, out of the blue, Ian?? yes mate, you would think the African Nations would clear the board at the Olympics throwing the Javelin, well it come natural to the africans dosent it !!!!!!!!
