Still puzzling over the "three soldiers" metaphor, I'm not about to give up though. Incidentally I'm learning a lot of interesting history on Malta.wolram said:

Thats the beauty of these games, we all get to learn new things while entertaining ourselves at the same time. You mentioned WW2 being interesting, I had no Idea of the part Malta played in the Mediterranean theater. Take a look when you have time, That little Island was a real "football".ProfuselyQuarky said:
I do not, however that's an interesting piece of the puzzle to add in.wolram said:
I'm still hung up on the "aircraft" aspect also, patience while I rummage the worlds search engines. Was Doctor Foster British? Speaking of doctors I will be taking my wife into an appointment shortly when I return I'll be on it again. (With the exception of watching the Falcon launch).

It sounds like that, but the spelling is different!wolram said:
Thanks that helps, My wife has been educating me on recovery from a CVA, She is very lucky but we have a way to go yet.wolram said:

, let me kick that thought around for a few. By the way did I get that right about Foster/Longshanks ? He and a relative of mine had a bit of history together.

By the way, how about that Falcon landing?
That was amazing. It bounced a little towards the edge, which was a bit scary, then looked unstable afterwards with the barge rocking in the swell. I hope it stayed upright long enough for them to fix the legs to the deck!1oldman2 said:By the way, how about that Falcon landing?
Sorry about the delay responding, I seem to have been dealing with a case of higher than "normal" entropy over the last couple of days.wolram said:Yay well done 1oldman2 that is spot on, you are on now, do not make yours so difficult my brain hurts
Thank you for asking, that question would be the basis for an entirely new thread. I'm learning that recovery after a CVA requires a "long term approach" so in the "one day at a time" aspect she's doing good but time will tell.wolram said:
Yes, you could say the family goes back a bit. my relative was a well known "outlaw" that when "longshanks" captured ended up with his head decorating the old bridge in Londontown.wolram said:You did get that right, gosh your family must go back a bit
(Bonus quiz, what town would a monument to the "relative" be in?)The angle of attack and velocity was incredible, I was sure it was going to prang the barge.(not to mention the crosswind and wave height issues)Jonathan Scott said:
Cardiff is in wales, the name translates to "Welshman" so your kinda' sorta' getting warm. think further north, this is just a "bonus" the riddle was post #340.wolram said:
Too obvious - got it by that point, but back at work now and too busy to think of something else.1oldman2 said:

Yes, but also about something that happened only a couple of years ago.Pepper Mint said:
Obviously your familiar with the story. That was a serious navigational error wouldn't you say?Jonathan Scott said:
