There may be reasons for that....

Day 6 - Went the Day well. A slighlty different type of war film. It tells the story of the small village of Bramley End which is invaded by a bunch of Germans dressed as British Soldiers.

Yes, a classic. Hmmm, good skirmish game in that one

[grizzlymc]

Good choice.

I never understood why, in that film, the matronly type who owns the "big house" where the children are staying, picks up the grenade that has rolled into a room, and runs into the hallway with it (and thus dies), instead of just lobbing it back out of the door. Unnecessary.

if it was me the grenade would hit the door frame and bounce back into the room

Quit it with the spoilers!

Me, I enjoyed 'White Tiger'.

That's why you were chosen to look after the goat - less chance of a ricochet.

Doesn’t matter - the explosion will still take place where intended, as proved in ‘Where Eagles Dare’.
