Ulrich, come to the Southern US. It is supposed to be in the lower 60s F today, which is about 17 C and 290 on the Kelvin scale. It snowed one day this winter here and it melted as soon as it touched the ground.

I would believe me. I cant see this snow anymore. We had em from November on and today they said that we should get more at wednesday.......

Regards, Ulrich

Yes but intelligent life? And where's Drew with his camera...I'm sure he should have been over here by now turning off the lights and telling us all to sit down while he gets the slides out....In which case I'm sitting at back near the door..

Hmmm - Am sure there is intelligent life there now! No sign of Drew. Perhaps he is lurking - just to make sure you get a special front seat pass

Just been back to ww2talk and am relieved to find that some very important threads have survived the server changeover.

Will now spend a few days listing what I can and cannot do and will try in future to spend more time on this site

Ciao for now

Anyone tried to raise the ww2talk.com forum today?

I'm fully aware that changes are taking place, but it would be nice if the mods who frequent BOTH sites made some sort of posting regarding any temporary
shut-down.

Ps
Yes, I know that both forums are in a state of flux, but would just like to be kept uptodate with re-assuring messages
