Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Right,

Thought it would be good to get all the photos in one place to stop them getting lost in the chat thread.

My photos are starting to be uploaded here:

Le Carnage Photobucket Album

I'm being lazy and I really can't be bothered to do any editing / checking so there's just a bulk upload including the crap ones. Might tidy it up when I can be bothered.

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Cool stuff, cheers mate :)

Like this for some reason - and the sea ones.
Will check my phone for pics shortly.

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

I have some on my phone. If people don't have an issue with their number plates I can add to Photobucket also? Or just distort them afterwards?

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

I don't have any issue - post em up mate!

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Erm,

There should be way more than the 48 on there though... I'll have another go at uploading the rest later.

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Some nice bikes there.. :-)

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Wicked mate, will get those up today !

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Few hundred more photos uploaded now if anyone can be bothered.

Photobucket puts them in back-to-front order so bear that in mind !

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread

You need to make the album public as it is asking for a password when you click on the photobucket link.

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Some great photos there Phil.

How did you not get more shake on the night-time one?

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Held it really tight against my topbox on a 2 second exposure, took about 3 attempts to get one that was reasonably sharp.

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

When we were crawling around like school boys at Pointe du Hoc Colin decided to clamber down to an encasement near the edge of the cliff. Phil & I took some pictures of his descent as we thought we thought we would capture his final moments.

I've got to post this up as well as it's the only argument with Colin I've ever won

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Cheers Rus, that was very interesting, enjoyed reading that :)

Excellent find on that pic of point du hoc, helps you put it all together :)

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

That is very cool. To be able to see what I was clambering over as it was on D+2.

Also answers a question I was posing to Phil at Arromanches, "I wonder how far the cliff edge has eroded back since 1945".

Wow! So we met the lady herself!! The first child to be liberated in France. I wasn't arguing, I believed you, I just thought when I met her that she had to be English not French, as she spoke such perfect English with a proper Queens English plum in her mouth.

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

That said most British people can tell my wife is foreign, but they can't place her as being French. The same goes for my best mates wife who introduced me to my wife, however when my mate first bought her back to England she didn't speak a word. He's spoken English about 4 years longer than her and you can't mistake ze French twang. So it's just about how much effort you put into perfecting your accent. Some people want to get it perfect, others are happy so long as they are understood.

I found it very funny when the guy at the Creperie said he never heard an English person speak like a perfect Picard.

Re: Le Carnage Photo Thread
 

Forgot to tell you guys, when me and Clair were talking to her, she asked us where we were from and said castle bromwich.
She knew it well as well as kings Heath in brum, she'd obviously been before.

Interesting lady, wish I would've read that piece of rustys before going there, would've been interesting to ask her some more stuff.

Ive got a brilliant book on Pegusus Bridge which was written by the same bloke who wrote Band of Brothers. If I can find it I'll mail it to you

I didnt immediately twig but it explains the hospitality extended to a group of grubby bikers. It's cos we're Brits.

It must have all seemed worthwhile when she saw Numbers stuffing bread rolls down his face ;-)

.....i hope we left a decent tip
