    Focke-Wolfe Joke

    bigduke6's recent thread of the video of a Griffon engined Spitfire and Focke-Wolfe 190 in mock aerial combat reminded me, for some reason, of the Focke-Wolfe joke that was told by Stan Boardman live on Des O'Connor's chat show, years ago. I remember seeing it at the time and finding it very funny, as did most people that I knew. Poor old Des O'Connor probably thought that it was the end of his television career as the show was being broadcast live.

    Please, DO NOT watch this video if you are easily offended and please remember that it was said and intended as a joke and that is how most people in the UKicon took it.

    I contacted Doug before posting this and he does not want this thread to become political or violate forum rules. Thank-you Doug.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I believe that after this programme was broadcast live all future episodes of this chat show were prerecorded.
