Thanks Gery. I had an accy on earlier for an interest: Horse (WON 9/4), 2 BASEBALL TEAMS (BOTH WINNING 7-1 and 10-3 at 4/5 +10/11) and for some daft reason I stuck in Tunisia 1/3 and they were 0-0. Cry I have the double on the two Baseball teams as they were 12.00 starts so I well in front as they were my main bet.

Hope you keep winning mate! Who do you fancy to win outright? I think DR of Congo (Zaire) could prove a lively outsider.

Those would probably be the Nazi posters you were trying to smuggle in amongst the others....the whole point of this thread ?

Report themightymac • July 22, 2019 4:13 PM BST
Cheers aka. Good that some posters found the thread interesting.

Leopard making wide sweeping statements as usual. For your information, the ones that were blocked were from all sides. The anti German and Japanese posters listed above are a lot more offensive than any of the Axis posters listed or rejected.

The point of the thread? A look back at history and a comparison of Propaganda and artwork of a different era. Are we supposed to kid on that WWII didn`t happen? Forget and it can happen again.

If you don`t get it or appreciate the thread, then don`t open it up and stick to your mundane tv listings.
