Alpha, how can I put it?...yep..you're delightfully perverse By the way, the Chinese have a reputation for eating 'anything that moves', and as for the 'butt', well, for some people the 'Parson's nose' (perhaps an urban myth) is supposed to be a delicacy.

There are many things considered Delicacies 43....Doesn't mean you have to consume them
There has arisen from the new Trendy Cuisines of some Chefs....adding a new word/term to the culinary world...that would be Offal....yes ...it is pretty much what it sounds like...and will have most choking back their own regurgitations

Don't believe the HYPE....the stuff is truly AWFUL

....Euuuucgh..But I did like 'Hannibal Lecter's Larder' Actually, offal (old English off-fall, German Abfall) comes from a time when nothing could be wasted. Thus, as a kid at the end of rationing, eating tripe, pig's trotters, or even brains was quite common, and I found it just as disgusting then as I do now.... and nobody made the slightest attempt to disguise these bits with piecrust, or sausage skins...or even McDonalds burgers.
In that spirit, then here is a real 'pig's breakfast':

You found a lot of those armored porta potties
Who ever is responsible must have put great importance of the performing of NO.2

Well, old bean, I think that war has a reputation for its superior laxative effects (that's why uniforms are often 'khaki' coloured )..but the improvised tanks..well, finding them is a product of idleness and a sense of the absurd. I had a good friend and mentor, a well known Scottish landscape painter (died a couple years ago, sadly) who told me that everything he did in life, and especially in art, was a 'controlled accident'. He'd had a fascinating life- and John Schlesinger (Director of "Midnight cowboy") in his early directorial days had made a small biopic of Jim's life for the BBC. Anyway, I asked Jim to write his own autobiography. No response, then- months later- a small, otherwise blank ,policeman's notebook appeared in the post. Written in Jim's unmistakeable hand atop page 1 were the words: "I've started it..you can add the rest". Another controlled accident..just like finding things for the general behoof...or the behoof of the General as you know very well....

here's an interesting piece from Youtube. There's a certain snobbery about IR, I feel, when balanced against Airsoft..so here's someone with an original take on real ballistics in RCtanks (I've never been a fan of firing blanks in any form by the way:lolno: ):

In which case, Alpha, I salute you..and your pants, of course. Genuinely. Still, in the spirit of friendly joshing, and being conscious of having diverted poor Steve's steam-powered thread into apparent irrelevance... i return us to the steam powered theme ( with military application)..

Sheer nostalgia (apart from the theme...). Great voice, great songwriter, horribly abbreviated life. : I have all of his best work on disc..but 'Chain gang; it's like a theme in 'Parchment Farm by Bukka White, but with a finesse that obscures the song's meaning. Here's a sort of chain gang (old English sense: 'going', 'gait')..back on track:
