Re: Where am I ?

This evening we have been on a lovely dinner cruise. Afterwards we noticed a large crowd of young folk by the riverside and thought they were waiting for a party boat.

The earlier time will be better for me because of more solar.

Re: Where am I ?

Been to see the shoes this morning, incredible detail on them, you would not think they are bronze and fixed to the surface.

Another shocking WW2 story.

Re: Where am I ?

So the photo which is a still capture from a video is actually a 0.45 calibre Desert Eagle. That was similar to a 0.45 magnum (Dirty Harry gun) I and SWMBO have fired at a gun range in Las Vegas a few years back. The 0.5 calibre Desert Eagle gun is literally twice the size and your right, I see no p...
