Herman realised there must be easier ways to European domination and on the battlefield the basis of the EU idea is formed.

The Acme Cherry Pitter comes with the added advantage of being able to fire all the stones at next door’s cat.

OK, decision time! My submission would have been along the lines on “Use Maxim-um elevation, Hans” (Geddit?]

However …Credits are as follows:

Tech Award - ORAC for recognising Logie Baird’s early efforts.
Flight Saftety Award - Dan Gerous with his holes in cheese.

Commendations to:

Treadigraph - Snoopy’s Kennel
Ninthace - The Cherry Pitter

But I just have to go with (quality over quantity on this occasion)… utterly out of context, and actually made me laugh

Kiltrash … “Luke...hiss... we are your ..hiss ..Father. ..”

Over to you, Kiltrash!
Trophy in the tender care of Jersey Post, so you may get it by Christmas!

Wilson: I say, Sir, would you mind awfully pointing that rifle away from Godfrey's chest, it might make a terrible mess on the floor

Godfrey: Oooh, my sister Dolly wouldn't like that at all

Jones: Yes, he don't like it up 'im!

Pike: That's not what the verger says

Wilson: Be quiet Frank!

Mainwaring: Stupid boy!

Fraser: Bugger, now I've forgotten my line!

I've just had a Top Secret signal from HQ, apparently West Ham FC have infiltrated the Home Guard, we've got orders to shoot on sight!

Now listen men, my intention is to withdraw the bolts from each rifle and scatter them along the railway tracks to prevent the weapons falling into the enemies hands.
