Bollocks to Easter

[daveydude]

Just wanted to say that Easter can fuck right off. You can't get any banking done and it's just annoying. My Epoch wire didn't come on Friday and my CCBill one didn't come Monday, which is highly annoying. Jesus and that big stupid rabbit can both do one :banghead:

According to Epochstats our wire was sent Friday, but I suppose when banks here close for a holiday they also switch all the computers off.

Not had too many probs. Christmas was the worst - I had wires sent on Dec 19th that I didn't get until January 6th...

It's OK for you webmasters, working an hour a day and then hitting the pub, only returning to write some pissed-up messages on B&B. Don't forget people in the real world actually have to work for a living, so they deserve their bank holidays.

At easter Jesus walked into a motel and put 3 nails on the counter and asked "can you put me up for the night?"

Radar helped but the real advantage was our organisation and ability to get the radar plots to the people who needed them. For that thank Dowding who had the vision not only to bet on radar but also put the organisation in place ( it was a system called sector control ) to get the best benefits from radar.

The Spitfire - beautiful as it was/is was very marginal, only nominally better than the Me109 in performance and way behind it in terms of production engineering and ruggedness. Add in the fact the Luftwaffe pilots had been very well trained and tested versus RAF pilots with little or no combat experience would have wiped out the Spits nominally better performance- without radar and the all important sector control system we'd have been well screwed.

The key to it though was the Germans switching from attacking airfield to cities - thats a very contentious opart of the history - but the fact is Dowding later said that the sector control system was breaking down and 2 more days of airfield attacks would have caused the entire system to collapse.

Course theres an opinion that says that even if we lost the air battle the Germans would have been hard put to invade. Look at D-Day and how much resource we had to put into that - thousands of ships, aircraft and troops - the Germans had only a fraction of that for the invasion of Britain and would have been facing some pretty fanatical resistance that included use of poison gases and a scorched earth policy betwen the south coast and London as soon as the Germans got ashore and between London and Manchester if we didnt kick them back into the sea sharpish. Indeed I think it was Halder ( German general ) who told Herr Hitler that putting troops ashore in Britain would be like putting them in meat grinder.

With all that - I still think Battle of Britain is a crap film :) even though I watched it while stuffing my face with my kids Easter eggs - whatevers happend to kids when they wont eat an Easter eg cos 'its soooooo unhealthy' and demand instead some organic muesli and spring water :)

Judging by Mr Misery guts they are well on the way to becoming adult webmasters LOL

Ta - for that psl - my Dad wrote a few books on WW2 and one of my uncles has written some very heavy stuff on the English civil war. As a feckless young teen I usually got dragooned in to type this stuff up ( this being an age before word processors ) and my typing speed back then was damn near as fast as anyone could talk plus I could do Pitman shorthand etc etc.

So very often I would get to type up a few hundred hand written notes on various issues about WW2 - and after you have typed it a few dozen times you just remember it I guess. Dad always wanted me to be in the RAF ( he was ) but back then a female pilot was unheard of and I just hated the uniforms and the ghastly shoes they all wore - laughs

It always made me laugh in a way that dad would be writing up how we smashed the hun while I was typing it up on a German made typewriter and mum drove a VW beetle :) the house was full of pictures of Spitfires, Hurricanes and every bloody other plane the RAF had ever flown. I think I could identify every WW2 aircraft before I could even walk - and certainly before I was able to express an oponion that I'd rather have a Barbi doll than a die cast Dornier.

As to billing and wires - I am too sloppy to ever bother with that - it gets here when it gets here - the whole of my web business is only worth about tuppence these days so its no real sweat - Easter egss are the real problem right now - I have eaten the lot and NEED choccy RIGHT NOW !!!!!
