What forum member would you like to meet??

[bd popeye]

Yes..which Sino Defence Forum member would you like to meet and just chat with or share a drink? There are some intresting characters here So without getting 'gay'(no offense to any one) who would you like to meet?..and why??

Well I would like to meet Gollevainen. Simply to pick his brain about the Russians military. I wish I could bring him to San Diego and show him the real USN....espically a CVN...

How about you fellows??????

 

[Gollevainen]

thanks If I ever have the change to come to USA, i will keep that under my ear...

But in the meanwhile I'll put the Sauna on, there's enough beer and perhaps something little stronger, everyone is invited...and then we gonna do some serious discussion

I would very much like to meet the real vincelee, so I can beat him up badly and then throw him in the trash can where he belongs.

Ha ha, I forgot how big the sauna was in Finland. I have one at my house, and its only about 50 miles away from San Diego, so we can all meet here, then go to see a CVN, play football on the fight deck, then go to Tiajuana.

I'd like to meet Sampan or Totoro, who are obviously our most learned members. Then I'd want to meet Roger, just to show him that life in this capitalist hell-hole of America isn't all that bad.

really, what sort is it? how hot you heat it before going in or is it one of those steam houses...turkish stuff?

Finn sez..

Finn, Dude....Roger goes to school at UCSD in La Jolla. No kidding. He emailed me from New York City after he visted an LHD during Fleet week in NYC.

Finn also sez..

Finn, I think most of our nerdy members would rather visit a CVN or an Arliegh Burke. I can't imangine these guys ,except a few, hanging in "TJ" with all the "Chickas"...Thy'ed be down there looking for the Mexican military...:rofl:

 

[Roger604]

Hey!

I never had a problem with the Clinton administration.

 

[bd popeye]

But Popeye, I don't know where you got the idea I'm from San Diego! I'm a New Yooorka.

Oh well...I thought you went to school at UCSD? If not you then who???
Oh well..I'm old and can't remember everything!!!

I went on the Enterprise when it was under renovation. So parts of the ship were off limits, and there were no planes on board. And if you want to see the DDGs and CGs, you have to take the train to TJ, because it goes by their moorings. I don't even know if you can go on them, their kind of hidden form public view.

Well, one time I was in Ensenada, and on the way to the hotel we passed this Mexican military base. At least that's what I think it was. It was right in the middle of this neighborhood with hotels, restaurants and stuff, and there were four or five guys with M-16s just standing right next to this concrete bunker at the entrance. The whole place was actually pretty small, maybe the size of a city block. Later I saw inside. It had a couple of Cessnas and stuff. The sign said "Federal Military District Headquarters" or something like that in Spanish. Very odd, just sitting there next to all these hotels and houses and stuff. Also, on the way back to the US, we went a checkpoint with some M-16 toting guys who were (I think) Federal Police. If you wanna see automatic weapons in public, Mexico is the place.:rofl:

Speaking of seeing miltiary stuff, my grandma is going to China in a couple of weeks, on a tour package thing. They are going to go to all of the "tourist places" in China (Great Wall, Guiling Gorges, Old Beijing, Forbidden City, Downtown Shanghai, etc.), so they probably won't see anything of interest to us. But I still told her to take pics of any military stuff she sees. I can see it now:

Finn's Grandma: What, the Varyag is a well-known tousist destination!

Ministry of State Security Agent: Silence!

 

[sumdud]

Goll..........the kids..........everyone?

As for Vince, give me his coodinates and I will be there first I promise, to kick his..........yea.......(Given that xihaoli isn't in the Valley already )

What I've got at my house........a sorta dead yard (only I grow things, my parents say but never work on the yard. In fact, my dad wouldn't eat stuff grown in the yard because we are city people originally and he don't trust fake farmers growing food. ) with an avovado tree! (You Europeans don't know what an avocado is, don't ya? )

Sauna? I had one back in the shack I lived in in HK (I love living there.) OK, it's fake, but man, the second floor heats up real bad in the day time back in that house!
