Hey Joe
Just checking that you and yours came through Helen without major damage?
My extended family down around St Pete made it with just some power outages.
I guess that is one of the non-pers of living in sunny Florida:
When checking in they did say Helen was a bad one.
anyway stay safe!

Hi Joe,
Just to let you know that my Florida plans are a bit up in the air. My brother-in-law who I was planning on visiting, unfortunately passed.
So I don't know when I'll be visiting his family down in Florida, maybe sometime late fall or maybe next year. I'll let you know as I do want to see them again; as well as seeing Florida again. And Jacksonville I have yet to see, as well as maybe having dinner with you there.
Anyway, stay well my friend.

Hey Joe,
When the Swedish flag goes to the top in Brussels, you can close close a thread on a high
.A picture of the flag going to tops would be a nice touch!
Myself I'll be up in Sweden, having to take my cousin the jug of Irish I lost!:redface: I was sure that one of the Three Amigos would somehow; again, delay the signing! Best bet I ever lost!:biggrin:
When the flag goes up, so will our glasses!
Skål!

Hey Joe,
Keeping well I hope.
I hope that I’m not out of line in suggesting that you set up a post topic regarding Anti-Semitism.
Earlier this week I came across an item in a Canadian paper regarding exactly this subject. I posted it under The Gazan Israeli war for lack of anything else. You can see yourself it was a group of Canadian academics that had authored a letter that essentially was pro-Hamas, luckily they were slapped down hard! A head of a department at a University was canned immediately, and a MP member of a centre left party was kicked of the party! Made me proud to be a Canadian!
Now it seems that the problem is not restricted Canadian academics, but also in the US!
I came across one of the &%@£ actually saying: “Yes the rapes that occurred were horrific: However…!!!!
I’d set up a topic it myself, but it would turn into a downright rant. I’m not Jewish, but if there’s one thing that gets my blood in a boil it Anti-Semitism.
Anyway I hope that you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.
Arne
Ps. Sorry about the rant!!!lol

Anyway stay well

Hey Joe,

How are you doing?
Just a question. Has the forum landed on some kind of "sucker list"?
Been seeing some new members that are nothing but bad ads!
But you are sure quick in deleting said spam!!:biggrin:

Stay Well,
Arne

Hey Joe,

How's things?
Got a question for you., In my message center I've received a notice from a "Kalia" a banned member, has posted on one of my subscriptions???
Your're thoughts,
I could just delete it, but thought you might explain.
Stay Well
Arne

P.S. your new password was an eyeopener, and right on. lol

Thanks Joe,
It's good to be back, if I'm ever in (?) I'll spring for dinner.
I'll be staying mainly in the Russo-Ukraine threads, as i mentioned
living in Copenhagen makes it a bit personal:
We had a former Defense Minister in an interview mention in a lackadaisically fashion
that Copenhagen is 1-11/2 minutes misssil flight from Kaliningrad.
Anyway, see you around the forum. Is it me or are there fewer faces around?
​​​​​​​Arne

Sorry to bother you TH. IS it OK if I copy and post your post 398 from the Uki war thread detailing the current tactical situation to another forum. No probs if the answer is no BTW. One other thing though if I do people thee will probably want to know the source.

Cheers

Seriously, who is off limits? I'm not trolling. I was gone for years, you an Ian are debating something I was not around for. Yeah Soros is hated on by the right, but mostly for his political activities. Much the same was as the Koch's (Catholic) are hated on for much the same reasons by the Left. My favorite radio host is Ben Shapiro is an orthodox Jew and a Libertarian. Is he off limits? He got his start under Andrew Brietbart (raised Jewish). I've condemned Israel in the past for its policies in the West Bank, and defended her when she is busy killing jihadi in Gaza or going after PoG in Lebanon.

The book is THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE WORLDS WARSHIPS is published by crescent books new york and is a salamander book. ISBN 0-517-22478X copyright 1978. Gave you all the info in case you want to find a copy good luck. I happen to own one, its awesome.

Figures the majority of friends on your page would be the ladies. TH, can we write protect images here on the WAB so that others may not cut/copy/paste? I do have some images I would like to post however it is my wish that they remain souly here on the WAB and not start turning up on other websites. Thanks in advance.
