You're right that he put himself in harm's way cuhulin. He also
fought during the Second Boer War and at the Battle of Omdurman. But I
think that ve3 is also right about him having at least one, and maybe
two doubles during WW II. That what a lot of people say. But I don't
know it for a fact.
So I think, as far as I know, that you are both correct.
Churchill was a very unique person, I think we all agree
about that. I admired him greatly while growing up. I also admired
John F. Kennedy when I was a young kid. But I don't have any
admiration for his brother, Edward "Ted" Kennedy.
I also liked Margaret Thatcher, and Ronald Reagan.
I guess I can sit back now, and watch the slings and arrows
headed my way. ;-)

Greetings Spin: Take a look below. You will see how this whole
thing started. Nope, right from the start it had nothing to do with
shortwave radio. It started back on May 4, so you've missed a lot.
Quite a few people involved in this thread. If you have no interest,
you could try and ignore it. That's what I should have probably done.
But being Canadian myself, it was really hard to ignore an insult.
"Dumbass Canuck" seems to be the way to refer to Canadians. How
would Americans feel if we started insulting the States, and
Americans??
But Beerbarrel isn't all that bad. One of the real insulters is
dxAce, who seems to have a real hatred of Canada, and Canadians. He
tosses out insults and namecalling every time he has a chance.
Nope... nothing to do with shortwave radio.
But I never started it. Yep, I do love shortwave
radios. I have a collection of them and love listening. That's why I
am here. But I will not let people insult Canadians or Canada without
a reply. As long as they are allowed to do that on this list, then
myself, and other Canadians here, will stand up in defence of our
country and nationality. I would expect Americans to do the same if I
was to insult their nationality and their country.

Canadians could not protect themselves if you paid them. What a bunch
of pussies!
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) -- Canada's postal system has stopped
delivering mail to a home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, after a mail carrier
was scared away by a "very threatening cat," the Winnipeg Free Press
said Friday.
A Canada Post spokeswoman said the agency was concerned about the
safety of its carriers, although it hoped for an amicable solution to
its dispute with cat-owner John Samborski.
"The letter carrier who delivers mail there ... was brought up on a
farm, she is very comfortable with animals," spokeswoman Kathi Neal
told the newspaper. "Apparently this is a very threatening cat."
Samborski told the paper that his 8-year-old, declawed, black cat
Shadow is docile, and it was "ridiculous" for Canada Post to make him
to pick up his mail from a post office instead of delivering it to
his
door.
Shadow "likes to eat and sleep and cuddle. You could drop a bomb and
he'd just open one eye, take a look, then close them and go back to
sleep," Samborski, 41, told the newspaper.
