Think he's guilty Adrian? Lol

Oh he's guilty alright. For not doing the washing up, flinging his clothes on the floor, to name but a few of his crimes. No actually (and in case he reads this) he is a pretty good lad really, brought up properly by his father of course and he does help around the house and helps to keep my money from tearing holes in my pockets.

Oh believe me sister, you haven't felt any pain yet!

eddie1968 · Dec 13, 2014

Adrian, I was reading about the Nazis who were hanged after the Nuremberg War Trials, the name escapes me but a US Army Master Sergeant who did a lot of the hangings made his CV up, he had no experience of being a hangman at all and probably botched a lot of hangings. What a sinister dude. Maybe you could enlighten me with his name.

Snowy12 · Dec 13, 2014

Easy. He was called John C. Woods

"John Clarence Woods (June 5, 1911 – July 21, 1950) was a United States Army Master Sergeant who, with Joseph Malta, carried out the Nuremberg executions of ten former top leaders of the Third Reich on October 16, 1946 after they were sentenced to death at the Nuremberg Trials. Time magazine credited him with 347 executions to that date during a 15-year career. According to recent research, a number of 60 to 70 over a period of two years is more credible"

Don't you stick up for him or I might find a crime you're guilty of .

eddie1968 · Dec 13, 2014

Me, hey no kangaroo court here lol. As they say in the states "I plead the 5th" lol

eddie1968 · Dec 13, 2014

Adrian, did some research there, the name was John C Woods, he is credited with 347 hangings by Time Magazine. I'd give it a google. Well I am an idiot just read your last post.....dohhhh lol lol

eddie1968 · Dec 13, 2014

Yep, too true mate

The death of exploration much to my annoyance. The Chaikin book (and get the hardback if you can as it is a complete pictorial history across 3 volumes) is brilliant when mankind once challenged itself.

Not much I don't know about Apollo and the entire history .. Russian included Keep the dream alive ..... when we once dared what we are now scared to do.

Cheers Mike

I've only got the paperback and since I have re-read it a lot (would still read it again) but I will take your advice and invest in the hardback version. I've always wanted to frame mission patch copies as they would look nice anywhere. Thanks
