The Brain

I got at least a chuckle from the following videos. If you've seen Chernobyl you might too.

George VI actual speech, the opening scene of The King's Speech.  Stutter is barely noticeable.

The Bovington Tank Museum has a pretty decent YouTube channel with tons of videos about their work and historians discussing the tanks on display:

(Fake) Irish squarehead rants and raves.  There's loads of them, and they're all short.

Thanks, nice find.  But now you've reminded me I should go visit it, as I've not been in a few years.

I'll be there for Tankfest next year. :)

You should watch a bit longer than the first few seconds.  He starts out strong but pick it up again at about the 1:00 mark.  The movie over dramatized it but there was definitely a speech impediment.

He certainly had it rough in WW2.

:o :w00t:

If I'm still in these parts come next summer I'd be honoured to meet you.

But there's so much to do at the Tankfest and to 'do' the museum properly is several hours easily, I think last time I spent a good 3-4 hours there and that was my 3rd or 4th visit down the years.
So I don't want to cramp someone's style / enjoyment if they've not been there before and want to take it all in.

Syt are you planning on doing one, two or three days of it?

I could just get a day ticket and meet up with you later in the day/afternoon depending on your schedule. All I have to do is cycle to the station, catch one/two trains and I'm at Wool, the nearest station to Bovington, which is a few more minutes of riding, a longish 2km walk or short cheap taxi journey.

We could experience some of the events together. :)

I'll be there all three days, plus an extra day, which I want to either use to just take in the museum (so I can focus on the events on the other days) or look around the area a bit.

I'll be at a little B&B in walking distance of both the Wool train station and the museum (1/2 to 3/4 hour to museum).
