Lothar Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 (edited) I've first heard that word when watching a baseball game on TV in the US. One of the commentators referred to someone elses remark as: "What a plethora of verbal diarrhea" Lothar Edited August 4, 2020 by Lothar Rick Griewski, dutik, Dpgsbody55 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of words will degrade into a sh**load. We've got a winner The ...wording is an important part of the fun. Were else can you use inappropriate language without your spouse instantly running amok And I LOVE this forum for all this conversation.

mozart Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Well said Dutik, words in all their varieties and subtleties are both fun and important......but there’s one word in particular that is a pet hate of mine.........”nice”!

Unfortunately I use that one quite a bit. I shall refrain from now on!

All you chaps from Europe really amaze, and shame, me with your loquaciousness and command of the English language. Our friends across the pond think they speak English too, but they don’t of course....only a tortured version of it! You know what was said by Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw about the use of that common language... mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landrotten Highlander Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Has there been a GB around experimental planes in the past? How about historical moments in aviation? (this can be as broad as possible, not just the big moments such as first flight, or breaking the sound barrier; it can also include specific points in the development of aeronautical knowledge, e.g. specific type of wing configuration, etc) BradG, Lothar and mozart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Southern Americas", spanning all periods "Death from above", ground support "Recce" "All resin" With heavy preference to numbers one and two.

thierry laurent Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Well there are many possibilities. Up to now, I identified the following categories. Note some will possibly be too restricted: - Era (mid-war, cold war, etc.) - War (Korea, SEA, Middle-East, etc.) - War theater of ops (WW2 ETO, MTO, PTO, CBI, etc.) - Location (Africa, Asia, CONUS, Europe,etc.) - Function (fighter, bomber, trainer, reco, etc.) - Size (single seater, twin-engine, etc.) - Construction type (seaplane, biplane, etc.) - Propulsion (propeller, reactor, rocket, glider, etc.) - Speed (sub-sonic, supersonic, hypersonic) - Mark (initial such a Mk.I, GR1, A, etc. or final) - Colors ("black and white", "Silver paint, dope and NMF", etc.) - Aces planes (Olds, Galland, Epstein, MvR, etc.) - Deco or scheme specific feature (sharkmouth, stripes, stars, etc.) - Kit producer (WnW, Revell, etc.) - Kit type (injected plastic, vacform, resin, etc.) Hth Thierry BradG, Landrotten Highlander and Daniel Leduc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Some good ideas, although experimental aircraft and all resin as GB's I'm not sure would work. Reconnaissance in 1/32 is an interesting idea, again I'm not sure there are enough easily available kits for it to be a viable idea, but I am open to being convinced.
