Let Spitfires dogfight some Messerschmits over the stadium.
That will be sufficient[/quote]
i have been wondering what we could do, and (in my opinion as a reenactor in my spare time) i think we should do various combatative historical thingies (drunk ons mead)
at the festival of history at kelmarsh, a spitfire and 2 messerscmits, as well as yanks, russians, tommies and germans, put on a fucking awesome show, pyrotechinques and everything (and took the limelight away from my groups show to th bastards).
done right, that sort of thing could be wicked, much better than thousands of slave dancers and fireworks
and we could have performances from saxon, motorhead, iron maiden etc

[quote]Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse recorded a demo track for the film, however, Ronson and Winehouse were unable to complete the project due to what Winehouse’s representatives called “different directions”. Ronson also stated that due to Winehouse’s well-publicized legal issues in the preceding weeks that she was “not ready to record any music” at that time.
On 29 July 2008, it was announced that Alicia Keys and Jack White from The White Stripes will record the theme song, titled “Another Way to Die”. The song will be the first duet in Bond soundtrack history.[/quote]
Ha.

Anyone else see a paralell between Nazi Germany and Communist China?
Berlin 1936 and Beijing 2008?
Atrocious track records with minorities: Jews and Tibetans
Nazis and Chinese Communist both using visual effects for propaganda and deceipt.
Hasn’t history taught us enough about rapidly expanding superpowers?
Once again the West is sleeping.
Russia better watch your back? Your natural resources look yummy.
I pray that history doesn’t repeat it self, but if it must I hope that Beijing Olympics do to China, what Sarajevo Olympics did to Yugoslavia.
Peace, [/quote]
Edit:
Berlin 1936: Supremacy of the Arian Race
Beijing 2008: Supremacy of Han Chinese
