    It's stuff like this that keeps me coming back to this Forum. Oh, and the WWII stuff keeps me coming back, too. Umm. Well, really it's just the WWII stuff. Heck, I have no idea why I'm here. :confused:

    A "Rogue" is one who says;
    "Take the road less traveled? No - I need no roads where I go. I make my own."
    "I take what I want, when I want and simply because I can"

    (( sorry listening to Led Zeppelin right now thanks to the Favorite music thread and it may be influencing me ))
    Holy shiTTTTTTTTT Black Sabbath just came on........Paranoid.................out-of-here

    Shouldn't it be a "Roguette"? After all it's International Woman's Day.

    On this forum being called a "rogue" is a compliment, a "fine rogue" means one of the most active and prominent , knowledable members with a keen sense of humor and sarcasm. :dance2::panic::clap:

    What is a rogue...one who watches..comments..from a position of great knowledge on all things military and ww2 related...Its that simple...we are all chaps of
    excellent knowledge, common sense..humour...with a working knowledge of basically everything...And an opinion on everything...Mine of course matters most as
    I'm sure you will all agree..

    Anyway...the pic...recent rogues outing....Mcrusk and Clementine in foreground
    discussing the relevance of borders on today's terrorist infrastructure..and where
    to buy the prettiest shoes...

    Poppy has fingers in ears...I'm not listening..nar nar nar...I'm sitting down..seen it
    all before no need to look..except to say...ooooooo you shouldn't be doing it
    like that...Biak and Belsar of course taking pics...its what they do...and CAC is in
    there somewhere by the blokes in green complaining about the noise.

    Gosh..........i just deleted this posting which I originally intended.........realizing I shouldn't succumb to every imagination rogues can inspire lest I traverse regular boundaries with my wandering thoughts, but rest assured one roguette has no resemblance so fine in the depicted photo as that of her posted avatar. Also sometimes I find I need to emulate Poppy more often with fingers in the ear perhaps as I often learn from others of my many weaknesses. It is good that there are sheepsters to herd us along our way with their ears pointed to the telstars for new knowledge while eying their favorites as they walk along the sheep trails, with their magic staff taking reception from all manner of electronic devices.

    Well, it's a politically correct world. We thought it was just a personal choice.
