Oh nothing really just wanted to share

A man, a bike and the third reich…

 

Australia is about to ban the Swastika and other symbols of hate - Sparking a rush to sell said items before the ban comes in. I'm not sure how many people who were involved with the war are still alive...So i'm not sure why the ban now. There has been an increase in neo-nazi movements in recent times...But i would argue still pathetically small numbers (hundreds) - Most model aircraft makers did away with the swastika on the tail years ago (but i have seen some come back also)



Airfix didn't get the memo


"It is not illegal for a kit manufacturer to produce a decal sheet for their kit that includes the Swastika, but for European marketing rules, the graphic has to be broken up into fragments of the image that the modeler themselves will assemble while decaling the model." - I'm guessing something similar in Australia

 

Generous offer thankyou.

 

The Far right is emerging everywhere in the world at the moment...DT being just one symbol - Netanyahu - Putin are perhaps the best known at the moment, but there are many more. This is the Gubment's attempt to clamp down on losers who can't get a woman...ahem, tackling right-wing extremism...

 

New to me…
′′ Few people know that Popeye's character (Arm wrestle) really existed. His real name was Frank ′′ Rocky ′′ Fiegel, born in Poland in 1868. he emigrated with his family to America where in 1887 he joined the Navy.
When he was with children he held the pipe with the corner of his mouth and told them the antics of his youth, often boasting of his physical strength and loudly claiming that spinach is the food that makes him invincible.
Popeye's character creator Elzie Crisler Segar was born in Chester and was one of the children who had the privilege of hearing ′′ live ′′ the stories of the former sailor."

 

Bit of Aussie kulcha, bit of swearing too…

Reminds me of a technology - Using holograms as frames for damaged tissue (hasn't been invented yet) - Could also use the holographic frame to encourage growth in lab grown brains (And any other body part).
