Well it could even have been taken at the same time that Dr.Strangelove was being filmed.

Notice the 60s linoleum floor tiles and the very rudimentary presentation of the fare for the VIPs, just small folding tables covered with a cloth, are those yellow disks ashtrays ?

It was 1962, Mongers.  It's what 1962 looked like:  very 60s.  What with it, you know, being all 1962 and shit.

:lol:

Yeah, but the young'uns here don't appreciate that there was a time before electronic gadgets, when people used to just carry around a wallet, change, smokes, a lighter and golf tees in their pockets.

Yeah, good times.  And some of us are old enough to remember some of that the 60s decor stuff still lying around the house when we were little.  Or, in grumbler's case, the 1860's.

Shit, my aunt still has all her 60's furniture. The paint colors & the LCD TVs are the give dead away, it's a time long passed.

:hmm:

This one looks like the start of a gay porno. :blush:

Nice ones Syt, especially from a relatively under photographed war.

I like the expressions; where is it, NW Europe, D-day, are they resting or perhaps captured ? 
Though I'd think the white cabling around the guys' neck is detonator cord or electrical cabling.
