  1. The phrase "inconvenient cessation of existence" is a usage worthy of the most polished mafia Don. Well done , Drach. 👍

  2. "I tend to divide reaction videos into four broad categories ..." must be the most engineer-y way to comnence a response to such a question. 😊 Thanks so much for all of your work though the year. It has been appreciated.

  3. ​ @suburbanbanshee  Well, only once, to be fair. Her Majesty was once at a function for senior naval officers when she overheard an admiral complaining about the names of the Duke class frigates. "Why do we have an HMS Lancaster? There isn't a Duke of Lancaster." he opined. At this point, HM interrupted him with "I am the Duke of Lancaster." 😇

  5. Just a minor note Drach; Diomede and Dunedin were assigned to the New Zealand Division of the RN in 1924. The RNZN didn't come into existence until October, 1941. Both were reassigned back to the RN proper in 1936/37.

  7. I certainly hope that the expenditure of pistol ammunition was preceeded by Captain Novotny whipping out his Luger, pointing it at Italy and drawling "Hands up, pardner. This is a stick-up". In any of the empire's eleven languages.

  9. The real question isn't who wanted Kennedy dead, but who didn't? The list of suspects is a long one: The soviets, the cubans, the CIA, the FBI, the mafia, the Diem family, his vice-president, his wife, a battalion of Bay of Pigs survivors, a host of defrauded elction officials, a mass of cuckolded husbands. It's a surprise that he lasted as long as he did, actually. Yet his legend lives on. As P.J. O'Rourke once sagely remarked ... "It's always tempting to impute Unlikely virtues to the cute."
