Hi All! Thanks Grezgorz for the correction. You are absolutely right, of course! I would still buy two Eduards and use the Lion Heart's decals from Roden on the second one. About the banana-benders somebody was asking about, an old friend once explained to me that banana are "born" straight, but God created some people whose function is to get into the forest and bend the bananas. I'm not really sure of the veracity but it was a dear old Friend... Still, it sounds like something a Portuguese could say of a Spaniard, a French about a Belgian, etc... Do Poles also have "pet hates"? Ciao People!

Ok a banana-bender is someone that comes from the state of Queensland. They grow lots of bananas up there. Sand Groper is someone that comes from Western Australia. There is so much sand over there. Now as to why we here in New South Wales are called cockroaches, I have never been able to find out why. maybe because we think that New South Wales is Australia and the rest of the country hates us for this and thinks we are as low as cockroaches. ;) Hope this helps... Next lesson will be on what a sheila is. Oh to make sure this isn't too off topic for the list.

Incidentally, I'm expecting a jar of Vegemite in the mail (I hope USPS doesn't consider it a hazardous material). EtH was not very forthcoming with his sample, so I have decided to try it myself. Then I will know what color Voss's cowl was! Halucinations?? In the event the worst occurs, please don't send flowers, but make a donation to the AFC Memorial Fund. :-) Mike Kavanaugh ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 18:37:39 -0500 From: Ernest Thomas To: wwi@wwi-models.org Subject: Re: New Subscriber Message-ID: <3B8D7CC3.F6C10E36@bellsouth.net> Howdy James and Ross, and welcome to the monkey house from New Orleans LA, The Big Sleazy.

I must check. We had VIIs, XIIIs and even one A-4, so everything is possible. Some French planes we had from Austrians, who captured them from Russians, who imported it from France (Nieuports), and some we captured on Soviet, who captured on White Russians or French/British intervents. BTW, to win contest you have find TEN, not ONE. (Ten SPADs 11/16 doesn't count) ;-) Grzegorz _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
