I am sure that magnificent array of feathers on his hat would strike fear into even the most determined foe !
Especially if they were a duck! 😉
He does have something of a ‘You are sure this is correct?’ expression on his face!
ooh la la!!!! you two are funny.
No wonder the Italians were ridiculed for retreating rather than advancing. If I was dressed like this I would be hiding behind the nearest tree.
I am seriously impressed by the moustache though and incidentally I am attempting the same mo’ during lockdown. I want to curl mine with moustache wax.
Hahaha, me too!
I think the moustache definitely warrants a photo emailed to MF for publication! 😉
Agreed!!
Hey Nick,
Moustache not yet ready for worldwide publication… will require some more time for cultivation.
Why was he pretending to be an Italian? Probably not enough real ones to go round. Going by the book I’ve been reading about Rommel’s experiences in WW1 they’d probably all surrendered!
Ooh. Controversial, Guy. And yet, where there’s smoke…….
You have to be a bit pithy sometimes on websites, or it’s no fun. Maybe their talents, as a nation, just don’t lie in the field of warfare.
Fashion. And gondolas.
And food…
