@Copper It's hard to imagine the increasing stress of bombing missions over such a time period. Your father's service brought to mind another American, Billy Fiske, who pretended to be Canadian to join the RAF and so served in the Battle of Britain. They could be scrambled into action half a dozen times a day. He flew 42 sorties in 27 days. One of the very best fliers of the honoured few who saved us, his memorial is in St Paul's cathedral. https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/7-pilots-who-flew-in-the-battle-of-britain

@bachophile said in Queen Camilla: All my info comes from “the crown” series. Having said that, I agree if he had married her instead of Diana a lot of pain would have been avoided. They seem very much in love. They were banned from marrying? I read Camilla had married someone before Charles married Diana. Anyhow, I still liked Diana, and felt she was badly mistreated by Charles in his affair with Camilla during the very beginning of their marriage, and the press wasn't kind to Diana.

I’ve been a fan since we used to watch her in significantly altered states on Porter Wagoner. We particularly liked the Breeze detergent commercials. Later I came to really respect her songwriting.

Hey Frank, looking good

@taiwan_girl said in The War on Appliances: We talked about this with refrigerators. Are A/C units worse now than they were 50 years ago even though they are much more efficient? Same for heaters? Same for refrigerators? Yes, because they're no longer in some households. They're in every household.
