Carefull, you will get a repetitive strain and eye injury trying to sculpt all the medals and Orders of Lenin - and I will insist on full accuracy, no short cuts!!

When he took his unform off - he could jump up 2 metres in the air - cause he was about 10kg lighter.

Sadly even the processing power of Google can't keep up with the latter

I married into it. Thankfully my mother-in-law comes from Plaistow (East London) so at least I have an interpreter at weddings, funerals and other visits by National Express
