  1. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    That’s who I was thinking about! Thank you.

  2. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Maybe Sophie's former crush's little brother might latch on to Adi as the kind of role model to take him toward a more 'muscular' form of medicine than the world of Dr Bauer. Speaking of which, we haven't seen too much of the boys since Dad drank himself to death, Mum remarried the Doctor and...

    it would be a great opportunity afterwards for his (presumably) future wife Monique to take Niko to meet the Aunties on the Reservation for the Navajo elders seal of approval. Chaperoned of course by Nina Horst and (if he’s still able) Piers Sjostedt.

  4. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    a bit of a long shot, but in a 1970s Roger Moore equivalent reboot of Bond, perhaps MM takes over from Jack Lord as CIA liaison Felicia Leiter?

    Not to mention keeping her ears and eyes open to things her own children and her 'wards' are into that might turn a pfennig or two.

    I reckon he’s headed for ASW school via a stint in the ‘boats’, rather than the ‘ships’. The ability to ‘read the play’ and surprise your opponent is just the skill needed to hunt German missile submarines in the Atlantic.

    Go Little Mike! Probably one of those moments where he saw with perfect clarity what he needed to do and then he did it. His initiative, taking charge and putting his body on the line to change the run of play will no doubt be noticed by those at the Academy.

    As I write it's around 10am in eastern Australia on the 29th of February 2024 IOTL. Given it's the Leap Day today, this would mean Dame Suse Rosa von Wovogle-Knispel would be celebrating her '19th' birthday today. I hope ITTL Suse Rosa has made it to her 76th birthday in good health and sound...

  9. Ocean of Storms: A Timeline of A Scientific America

    In the end, it's the author's timeline, which has been really engrossing and brilliant. So really, it's a case of wait and see where the author takes us. As an aside, the rest of the world has seen TTL's (and OTL's) US do some pretty shady things, so is it really a surprise the US Government...

    So Sepp has Dr Ott as his new step-dad. I wonder if Kiki is coming to the wedding as Dr Ott was a (sort of) role model for her as an emergency surgeon - and not always in a good way as her interactions with the group of medical students in a 'recent' update showed her 'paying forward' the "shut...

    Beautiful @Peabody-Martini. Absolutely beautiful. Love conquers pretty much everything (except the Soviets) and almost everyone (except Jost).

  12. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    You forgot the various shades of brown decor, either wood panelling or paint.

  13. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Thanks for another great update @Peabody-Martini. A great example of life being what happens while you're busy making other plans, as is the case for both Ilse and Albrecht.

    Yes indeed. Ask any German Marine who’d been through the Korean campaign about the ‘Angel(s) of Anju’.

    Errol Flynn inspired Australian Crawl, one of the great bands of Oz pub rock in the 1980s to write a tribute song in his honour…

    Seems like Erich’s wound was messy but not too severe. On the upside, he’s now got a Wound Badge 3rd class (in Black) for his trouble. He might also possibly win an EK II for his “coolness under fire while wounded” if ‘politics’ doesn’t get in the way.

  17. 40 years since the Stanislav Petrov incident - where were you on Sept. 25/26, 1983? Would you have survived if the nukes were launched?

    On that day in 1983, I was a couple of days short of my 13th birthday and living in the inner suburbs of Sydney, Australia. Being only about 4km from the Royal Australian Navy base at Garden Island and the Captain Cook graving dock (the largest dry dock in the southern Pacific between Pearl...

    I recall there was a case in an earlier installment of a very unwell sailor being taken off Prince Michael’s warship- possibly with later stage AIDS.

  19. Sir John Valentine Carden Survives. Part 2.

    The NSW Government Railways did have a desert run that was dieselised pre-war: the 680km section from Parkes to Broken Hill in the state’s far west. In 1937, the NSWGR introduced the ‘Silver City Comet’, the first fully air-conditioned train in the British Empire, powered by two 330 hp...

    Although at this time, Rowan Atkinson was finishing at University and preparing for his TV career. About another year would see him on ‘Not the 9 O‘Clock News’ doing the ‘Gerald the Gorilla’ sketch with Mel Smith & Pamela Stephenson. I think this would dub well into German…
