Des
I was very interested in the moving lines of the german song you quoted about the U-Boats because when life gets a bit 'iffy' I always return to a poem written in honour of our brave airmen in WW2. It goes something like this...

My brief sweet life is over, my eyes no longer see,
No summer walks, no Xmas trees, no pretty girls for me,
I've got the chop, I've had it, my nightly ops are done,
But in a 100 years and more, I'll still be 21....

Inspirational, or what?
cheers
Tony Cooke
