...ty to accurately describe unusual or rare sounds (compared, say to the visual alternative, witness Sue Bamford's reasonably accurate description of the Bear's 'look'). Rob Langham I'll keep a lookout, but i'm hardly a good witness (once confused a Cessna for an Auster, and still run outside for Chinooks when i'm down the road from their main base) Brett Holman Alex: Interesting! I wouldn't rule out the Voyager on the basis that it doesn't match Ba...
...nal activities, or perhaps of their work in the area of protecting the mental health of children. But what's next? Smurfs are one thing, but where does it all end? That's the question that concerned citizens should be asking. UNICEF It was made very clear to the Smurfs that they were either with us or against us. Who knows what they were concealing under those strange white hats. The best intelligence sources we had at the time indicated that they...
...ns because they give him a more objective point of view. Braudel thinks explosions are too short term to be interesting but that there is a long term cycle of international air forces. Brett Holman LMAO! I can almost believe that actually, especially about Ranke ... Alan Allport Wouldn't Braudel be concerned with the way long-term weather patterns affected airmindedness? Brett Holman I think the connections between weather and airmindedness would...
...don't forget for one moment -- let it be written in words of fire so that all shall learn, mark, read and inwardly digest -- most of the Cabinet hold enormous stocks in munitions concerns, and though you and your wives and children may be mutilated, massacred and tortured in tens of thousands of casualties, the capitalist overlords who strut in Whitehall will emerge from the ashes of civilization glutted with riches."1 Browne-Jervoise clearly has...
...he Air League of the British Empire (now simply the Air League) and the Royal Aeronautical Society. (The current magazine called Aeroplane is not related to the one I'm talking about. The National League of Airmen was a pressure group which existed for only a few years from 1935.) I am certainly not suggesting that they are in any way fascist now! I'll also note that I'm depending largely on the research of others. When it comes to the involvement...
...with the brief existence of the Air Battalion (1911-2) and the less ephemeral Balloon Factory/School of Ballooning (1878-1912). These seem like logical subjects for an AFRS. But because they were part of the Royal Engineers and hence the Army, there is a potential for stepping on the toes of the Army Records Society. But this jurisdictional problem exists anyway; indeed the Navy Records Society has already published at least one volume on the topi...
...think that, for example, a book on the history of monastic orders in medieval Italy should be required to talk about Lowell. He's really not all that important in world history. But even so, there are plenty of history books that do talk about Lowell. You know, books on the history of astronomy. Try reading some, you might learn something. Also, Plutonium was named in his honor. Again, this is wrong. Even if we were to accept that Pluto was named...
