Default Dame Vera is Wonderful

...and so is Sir Winston. Aside from the fact that he's supposedly a distant relation (on my fraternal grandmother's side), he was a wily, hard-living, hard-drinking sonofabitch who stands out as arguably the Man of the Twentieth Century. There's little question that we wouldn't have the world we have today without him.

Aside from him, I think I would have gotten along famously with such bloodthirsty bastards as Douglas Bader.

As with some here, I have met some like him (mostly Brown Jobs) whom I still find immensely inspiring; they did what they had to do when it was necessary to do it, and they neither gave nor asked any quarter.

To me, personally, all of them are my heroes. We share certain.. er.. values.
