OT-How far did this world go into insanity?

Mohoender - Dont move to the UK! We are mad here with political correctness and all that crap that is infuriating you. It is I who want to escape from the UK and thought the French were more sensible and I could come there

If you want to move to France, the place where I live is not too bad. Close enough to cities (Cannes and Nice). Remote enough so you can partially resist state pressure and insanity (saddly I'm not sure it will last). Fairly international: plenty of Danes, Swedish, British, Belgian, Dutch, Irish..., and plenty of them are living here all year long. I'm not only talking of retired people but of young couples in their 30's.

Doesn't Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie live in that area Have you ever gone to visit just to drool over Angelina

Ah, La Belle France, pipedream of a million Brits fed up of wet summers and bad wine. My personal fantasy is a place near Saumur, in many ways it's perfect: beautiful countryside, the loire and a whacking great tank museum.

We holiday as a family near there every year, the people are friendly and the place absolutely beautiful. If my French was better I'd be there already.

My personal fantasy living place would be Montana. Not a lot up there city-wise, I'll grant you, but it would be nice to live out in the country away from most everything -- assuming I could still get decent TV and internet access...

Sounds lovely, and as you're not Russian you may well get your dream. Russians who dream of settling in Montana are doomed to die. It's a narrative imperetive.

You can also add about 100% of hollywood (from time to time). However, I'm not interested by them and I would not be able to recognize most of them if I was having dinner next to them.

I prefer (so-called) regular people or Hollywood people being regular (make your choice).

Great wines, gorgeous castles and a working Knigstiger... Not bad.

Ft. Sam Houston here in San Antonio has a really good museum, dedicated to the US Army Medical Corps. All sorts of good exhibits that are military medicine-related. Out in front, there's a great bronze statue -- it shows a female Army field nurse over a casualty; the nurse is looking upward as if for a Medevac pickup, or perhaps praying for the wounded soldier.

[Mohoender]

Hey! The Knigstiger was to inflict wounds, not to take care of the wounded.
