War Programs

I watch war programs because I like how tanks looked in the olden days. They were small and fast so they could get away quickly.

I think the weapons are styley like the Tommy gun for instance. It was easy to load because it was light to carry and easy to hide.

I love old cars and trucks because I like the green colour. They could carry lots of people and spare tyres and gas tanks.

I enjoy the battles because they are exciting. There's lots of shooting and explosions. War programs help me learn about the past.

the game

On the weekend  I played  wwe  I was  the viper.  He can do the RKO. He climbed up a 9 step ladder and he did a back flip off it. the viper was in the Royal Rumble the Royal Rumble  has 30  people in it and if you tumch the floor you're out and I won I like the hell in the cell match. 

the decision

What do you think get a pet  or get my Slug gun fixed.
1. a  pet I  can play with.
2. if I get my Slug gun fixed I can shoot sum cans.
Wat do you think. :)

Dear Alison the book

In July 1942 with a notebook and pencil he had bought from a German guard, Dudley Muff started Alison's Book. Dudley was 42 and a prisoner of war in Stalag XVIIIB in Germany and his niece Alison was four and living in Timaru. It starts "Dear Alison, Mummy has told you all about Uncle being a prisoner so now I must tell you what we do to pass the time." With humorous entries, sketches and what he called "little men" his story grew until it became an unbelievable account of his time served in two prisoner-of-war camps. Given to Alison when he returned to Christchurch after the war, she read it first as a child, purely for the excitement such a story could impart. Only later, rereading this as an adult, did she see through the veiled references to how life really was in the camps. After returning to Christchurch, Dudley added a one page postscript describing his journey to freedom. He finished the book with, "Now I shall tell you in three little words what all my travels have taught me, NEVER BE AFRAID. With all the love in the world from Uncle Dudley".

About the Author

Dr Simon Pollard is the Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at Canterbury Museum, Christchurch. He is a spider biologist, natural history writer, photographer and author. Alison's Book is written by his great uncle, Dudley Roberts Muff. Simon often wondered what had become of his great uncle's diary and by a lucky coincidence while visiting his brother in London he came across a newspaper clipping saying that Dudley had donated the diary to Canterbury Museum. Again, through either luck or coincidence, Canterbury Museum is where Simon has worked since 1997.Through the Museum database Simon was able to track down the archival box that had been the resting place of the original diary for many years.
