    Hi all,

    Just got back from the pictures, took
    my two eldest boys and their two mates.

    I think you forget what it was like to be
    a child sometimes...dam I'm sounding
    like my Dad know and I said I never
    go there.

    The journey to the cinema is only
    ten minutes, but it was a real eye
    opener in to my kids ever growing
    vocabulary

    Everthing was Class man, Cool man,
    Aston Martin, Porshe, Audi TT (these
    were all going to be their first cars),
    Dad faster, Dad turn the music up
    and then them debating who was
    going to go out with Gemma when
    they get back to school, hhmmm
    I wonder if Gemma's got a say
    in this...I must be getting old :D :D :D

    By the way the film was great it's
    loosely based on the pigeon service
    during WW2, worth while a look.

    Quite an interesting fact at the end
    about the Dickins Medal the VC for
    animals:

    Between 1943 and 1949 PDSA awarded
    54 Dickin Medals: 32 pigeons, 18 dogs,
    three horses and one cat - "Simon" the
    mascot of HMS Amethyst during the
    Yangtze Incident in 1949 - received the
    Medal for displaying conspicuous gallantry
    and devotion to duty while serving with
    the Armed Forces or Civil Defence units
    during World War II and its aftermath.

    Like I said worth a look
    :D :D :D :D :D :D

    Regards
    Kieron

    I really would love to see a photo of the medals being pinned on any of these.

    Sappernz,

    I think the RSPCA may have something
    to say about that :) :)

    Here is a link to the latest awarded Dickin's
    Medal.
