Stick;
in Vietnam they found out (the hard way) that the foam filled layers in a Sheridan caused an RPG war head to go off too soon. I suspect this is the concept, and it’s cheaper than styrofoam

Here’s the view that has already been posted 
I guess even sand is too expensive, as there’s only cardboard inside…

Trust me, for readers of ‘The Sun’, everything has to be dumbed down to amoebic levels before they can begin to understand. I suspect even ‘Z Tank’ threw them into a state of panic.

@Khouli we can’t all have our own butlers ro bring us “The Times” and a slice of toast for breakfast.
that kind of elitest snobbery is the main reason why the English are so disliked around the world
I think you’ll find that ‘The Sun’s’ ability as an entity to report accurately, unsensationally and sensibly - and by extensiion, the comprehensive ability of its readers, has been a standing joke in this country since I can remember. I would imagine that several performing artists have made a substantial living out of it in fact…
Throughout the years, ‘The Sun’ has claimed to win elections and appeared to have influence over politicians and politics well beyond what their boob magazine might merit. Editors of ‘The Sun’ have been seen going in and out of Downing Street in a way you just don’t see with the people who run ‘Jugs’. And these are people who you really don’t want anywhere near power.
They specialise in celebrity, sleaze, scandal, with a healthy dollop of homophobia, racism and misogyny. So, please don’t opine that people who choose not to read bare-faced claptrap masquerading as ‘news’ as ‘elitist’ or ‘snobs’. They’re merely capable of making informed choices. And I suspect that your unsubstantiated claim that the English are disliked around the world is about as true as a ‘Sun’ report (of some vintage now) that Romanian immigrants were BBQ’ing swans, or the one that claimed ‘Freddie Star ate my hamster’.

‘boob magazine’ they haven’t printed those for almost a decade and those vintage headlines which you quoted date back to 1990’s and beyond, bordering on antique. so that does re-enforce that elitist mentality of ‘The Times’ readers.
oh and my unsubstantiated claims about the English not being liked around the world comes from personal experience of travelling extensively through North Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia.
i suppose it could be worse, you could be a daily mail reader, they’re not even human lol

Apart from the fact that that is demonstrably untrue, I did say the headline was of ‘some vintage’ but apart from conveniently ignoring that, it does not detract from the actual fact that the ‘paper’ was and still does publish obvious fake news for consumation of anyone who’ll believe it. Sorry, did I say fake news? What i really meant was that it’s just a tabloid that dispenses incredibly sensational and biased articles that appeal to the lowest common denomenator. How anyone can be okay with that is beyond me. And rather frightening.
I don’t read The Times, but i suspect they have no more ‘elitist’ views than those who read any broadsheet, regardless of its political bias.
So, still unsubstantiated (with just a pinch of personal opinion thrown in), and North Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia are not ‘the world’. Glad we cleared that up then.
I suggest you look up ‘irony’ in the Dictionary - you’ve just re-defined it.
Keep digging though mate, you’re certainly keeping me amused.
i was referencing a line from a British comedy film called “Sightseers”
as for my world experience being unsubstantiated, possibly i didn’t make a written note of everyone i met but it is not my personal opinion as you call it but my personal experience.
oh and as for irony, here’s one for you:
you find this thread very distasteful and yet you keep posting in it
Oh… so, its plagerism we were all supposed to have appreciated without the benefit of hindsight. Genius mate you are.
So, you admit it was a false and unsubstantiated claim? The Sun’s editorial style has really rubbed off on you hasn’t it? I’m resting my case on that one.
I think you’ll find that is hypocrisy (which doesn’t make it acceptable I admit), but anyway, you carry on lad, i’m sure you’ll run out of steam long before I do.

i would have thought a little art house low budget film would have been right up your avenue.
i never said that my life experiences were false regarding my travelling around the world and experiencing negative views of the english, i just never documented them at the time as i hadn’t planned on needing to substantiate them for the elitist in our society,
and as for calling me a “lad” your about 40 years to late for that to cover my description and don’t worry about me running out of steam…being a moderator i can settle disputes very quickly on here by suspending or removing people. you might call it an abuse of power but there seems to be a lot that going in the world at the moment.
i look forward t your next witty riposte or pithy come back

I doubt there will be many, since you’ve already tactitly admitted to a potential abuse of power and you’re already proved you can’t coherently or logically respond to anything i’ve said. It practically reinforces that this topic was probably inappropriate in the first place, but then the warning signs were there.
So, yeah, that’ll do.
i have responded in a logical and coherent manner, i can’t help it if you don’t like my answers 
Hmmmm… I suspect it is a little true for both

Guys, from sitting on the fence, we should all keep it nice and calm in here this old thread … It is the only one I look in now as from the start it has had some interesting images from both sides and a lot of genuine and handy info about the bits of kit. It would be a shame if spirals downwards … Olive branch —
