Default On a lighter note

The 40 things that happen only in movies.

I can add a few:

41. All computers make silly unrealistic sounds when operational.

42. All control panels emit showers of sparks when a spaceship is hit, and they all make the same sound effect.

43. All airfield bomb explosions contain at least 20 litres of petrol, some far more.

44. All old cars and trucks in period films look like new.

45. German troops always have a White half track in the inventory.

Default Great Stuff

Thanks Keith

I've just taken over doing our MV clubs newsletter and stuff like this is great.

I've warned the club members that if they don't send me stuff for each issue the CMP content will be high.

Cheers Phil

49. All Mills bombs (No 36 Grenades) are capable of blowing off the track of any German tank.

50. Tim Tams don't last forever, slouch hats, however, do.
