Anyone been to the National Army Museum in Chelsea?
I was thinking of checking it out next time I'm down there

I've not, and I suspect this is an error on my part.
Imperial War Museum is fricken AWWWSUM d00d, obv.

I quite like going to mesiums and shit with people who know their shit.
Normally the real story is much better than the one I make up in my head and it saves me reading a ton of dull little plinths.

you can hire a loop, that gives you a ton of information

But you can't ask it really retarded questions hoping that everyone else is thinking the same but doesn't have the guts to say it out loud.
For example "Monty, I can see how this Cannon fires.... the resulting air pressure from the explosion in the gunpowder does blah blah blah blah.... but what would happen if you fire it 90 degrees in the air?"

Take Nakers with you, I think the staff would *really* appreciate the conversation

I once gave a guided tour of the Elgin Marbles by mistake
I was explaining to my then gf what each bit was and noticed after a few minutes some gormless cunts were trying to surreptitiously earwig in on it

Last year I was walking over the Millenium Bridge toward the Tate and the Globe
and heard some chancer giving a tour to a group of forrins that consisted of a load of wacky made up stuff. I don't know if he was taking the piss or they'd paid for the privilege of a bullshitters guide to London.

The tours at the old bunkers on Jersey are supposed to be very good

There's also lots of concrete pillbox nonsense around the island still.

They look like they aren't made properly
due to the extreme heat cos they go so fast, everything warps, and after every mission the outside had to be "ironed" back to shape.
The fuel leaks all over too as gaps appear all over the place.

I’m assuming this has nothing to do with the Imperial war museum
