Well, that should have secured Peter an invitation to the Strelets Christmas party.

Talking of which; perhaps Strelets are still using the Julian calendar.

Time's up.

Well, there's still a couple of hours of November left here, in my little part of The World, but I think Hannants, your good self, and the rest of Europe, are already in December.

I've noticed that Strelets haven't been on the forum much lately. I think they are probably out the back, putting little toy soldiers in small boxes to be shipped off. They probably got so busy that they lost track of time.

It's a good job they're only little, toy, plastic soldiers, and not something essential like beer and curry.

Gentlemen,

the shipment from the Ukraine is planned for 9/12/2010. In about one week time they should be in the UK.
Please be guided accordingly.
Best regards,

Strelets

Dear Strelets,

Thank you for your reply. It is much appreciated. However, I fear you are being optimistic. We have 3 inches of snow in the UK, and the transport of goods is therefore at a standstill. I don't expect you have to cope with anything quite like it in Ukraine.

Dear Warwick Hunt,

don't worry, the truck will be Ukrainean, therefore no delays will take place. Snow is not a big deal after all unless it's a wrong type of snow, of course !

Best regards,

Strelets

strelets please were are french gasmask

Yeah, it's a masterpiece.

Thanks, Strelets.

I often wonder how much of British Culture gets translated. "Quite a lot" is obviously the answer in Ukraine. So, thank you, also, for that insight.

Dear PDA,

not quite so. After 13 years in the UK it doesn't require much of a translation .

Best regards,

Strelets

please french in gasmask

*bump*

Dear Strelets - when are we going to get a view of the masters for the French Infantry in Gas Masks?
