An amazing feature is a 130m long elevator shaft that leads to the Nest proper. Doesn't sound like anything major now but remember that this elevator system was built WAY back in the 1940s. The lift is made (I think) entirely from copper. And it looks exactly like the one in the series.

erm... i'm not THAT desperate. besides, military life doesn't agree with me... ;p
strangely enough, i used to play with the old WW2 Mark 1 and Mark 4 rifles (actual ones, not toys or replicates). brings back some memories. of course they couldn't fire a single shot but i was told that they were more accurate than the M16s nowsadays.

Where in Singapore can we buy the original BOB DVDs ? Is it banned here ? Grammaphone told me so when I asked about it 3 weeks ago.
The shop in Pensiular Plaza selling at $70. Any one know how is the quality of the pictures ? Was tempted to buy it just now.

The original BOB dvd is banned in singapore. Quite silly since it seems to me that the version showed on HBO was uncut (SPR was also showed uncut on HBO). All the violence and swearing was left intact.
The Peninsula one is a duplicate of the original dvd version so quality is good. Comes with the bonus disc.

not sure if they were Lee Enfields (i'm not familiar with them) but they're the sames ones used in the BoB series (like the one Winters uses).Originally posted by StreetShooter
The Lee Enfields? Must have been in NCC.

FYI - fully ELECTRICAL functioning lifts have been operating since the later part of the 1870s. Of course the first TRUE modern day lift (founded on safety) was demostrated at the Crystal Palace Expo by Mr Otis (and his French collegue, Chretien) in 1889.
And I don't think its made out of copper - more probably it was plated in brass. Copper is too highly reactive (and conductive) an element to adorn a lift carriage. (not to mention expensive)

If u guys like the movies like SPR or BOB, and if u like computer games, try the Close Combat(CC) Series of war games.
1)Close Combat
2)Close Combat 2 "A bridge too far"
3)Close Combat 3 "The Russian Front"
4)Close Combat 4 "Battle of the Bulge"
5)Close Combat 5 "Normandy"
I am a game fan of these games and there were many scenarios that parallel those in BOB and SPR. Ie Omaha Beach, Bastogne. And I get to play the Germans!!Btw, any CC gamers out there??
