General Apathy Posted December 26, 2011 Share #4027 Posted December 26, 2011 I bet he really has to fight off the ladies when he wears that outfit. Craig, we should work as a team, I had been wondering how I would sneak the above hideous advert onto the forum and you lined it up for me with your quote above, thanks. If the advert had been current then it would have made some crass gifts for friends next year. :thumbsup: ken Norman D.

Robert Robert, well the forum and this topic wouldn't have been the same without your involvement, so many thanks for 2011. :thumbsup: Sorry to be looking at the shot's of the flooding around you, let's pray that they always miss your property. Thankfully here due to historical knowledge of the flood plains then nothing has ever been built below the flood levels, having said that I am only 30 feet above sea level and the sea is only ten miles away and this is some of the flattest terrain in France.. :crying: Looking at Ian's suggestion to call you Noah, maybe you should take a leaf out of his book and build a floating dock with a house on it and anchor it to the spot on lengths of chain so you rise with the flood. All the best for 2012 and please keep joining in here :thumbsup: ken Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 27 December 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Apathy Posted December 27, 2011 Share #4049 Posted December 27, 2011 Then & Now ............. This evenings ' Then & Now ' is going to be slightly different to all the others that have gone before in this topic. Driving through Carentan Christmas eve I passed the spot of the monument to the ' Cabbage Patch ' fight and it brought to mind the days that I worked on the Band of Brothers episode featuring the cabbage patch. The photo above is the set that was built up for the scene, the gardeners arrived early morning with a truck full of potted vegetables and worked to turn a flat piece of grass area into a cabbage and vegetable patch, the scenes were shot the following day. ken Norman D.

General Apathy Posted December 27, 2011 Share #4050 Posted December 27, 2011 Continued Then & Now .......... The drawing above is the location sheet for that weeks scenes to be shot, there were probably half a dozen scenes from various episodes that this location was good for, one being the cabbage patch, one the scene where Spiers shoots the German prisoners, and the scenes of the tanks meeting up with the airborne troopers. The cabbage patch was located in the square just to the lower left of the circle marked ' set ' in the middle of this drawing. ken Norman D.
