Ed_Haynes Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) That was my confusion too, Christophe. What was the question?They are all male? (Not Pravda!)

Ed_Haynes Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Still don't know if I answered the question being asked, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RedThreat Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Several forum members have answered the question. Each photo shows the first recipient of a Soviet award. I didn't know how to phrase the question more precisely and not give the answer away. Since it was confusing, Ed, Christophe and Christian can decide among themselves who gets the next turn.

Christophe Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Simon, No pb with the phrasing... as the sagacity of Ed made it . That was a good one, and we have now to congratulate Ed : Ed is the winner!!!! Your turn, Ed.Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 While I see it as a shared victory (a properly socialist attitude), with my role being vague, I shall accept the leader's (Christophe's) dictate.
