Allied Forces?

I was little, couldn't say Grandad, it stuck as a name. But I'm sure
you realised that.

 

Yeah but come /on/. I'm sure before that you called him
"Grrmmmmbbll-dribble" but you manged to evolve past that stage as well.
I mean I call darsy "my little cheeky monkey" when we're together but
not on the group.

 

The same could be said of France and the UK. The USSR was willing to
commit military force to the defence of Czechoslovakia, but as long as
Hitler was looking South or East, France and the UK were uninterested.
Think "Peace in our time."

He knew that the UK at least, were staunchly anti-communist. What he
didn't realize that this was merely the then-current status of a much
longer term UK policy of being opposed to whichever power on the
continent looked the strongest. As soon as Germany looked like making
a successful comeback from the problems left by WWI and the Versailles
peace, they supplanted the communists as the apparent power on the
continent.

It would be hard to disagree. That was where most of the war was
fought, after all.

Elaborate, I'm really not getting why you've picked up on a name -
other than the fact you're trying to prod something that was clearly
raw when I posted earlier in hope of a bite and a rattle throw.

That's why it's a work in progress silly.

I thought about putting Grandad, then decided I wasn't going to censor
myself just to deny UKRM the opportunity to do its thing. Happy my
little antipodean dwelling correspondent?

Oh and on the darsy front was it Ash said he looked like David Gest?
He's right, I was in the newsagent earlier and he was on the cover of
one of the magazines - made me jump.

 

I don't care about such things. Plus, as I've often mentioned in the
past, I don't see "rattle throwing" as a weakness. Especially not in
this place of of juvenile and institutionalised baiting. I do however
see twee personal soubriquets as having no place in [1] a public forum
and [2] a thread that's already a seeping emotional gusset. I know I'm
not going to change your mind, otherwise you wouldn't be you, but me
being me I couldn't let it go without comment.

Mmm kinda. Feel a bit short changed to be honest. But I've been out in
the hot sun for a couple of pints and I'm feeling a bit "Meursault".

Argh! He does! Damn my eyes and damn Google Images!

 

How do you decide the tweeness? is there a scale?

So what's wrong with emotion? Missing the british stiff upper lip?

I've had my mind changed before. Flexible could be my middle name.
It's not, but it could be.

Look, I'll go cry into my pillow if that helps? But not until this
wind drops.

Your mother's dead?

MWHID.

 

Hey! You've just drew that on!

Yeah, it's kind of how far up my throat the vomit rises before I can
choke it back down again.

I wasn't until this sub thread...

More the ambivalence. And wanting to shoot Cab. But that's always there.

 

Yes, that was on the videobox the other day. It's in The War Of The
World, written by... whosis. Excelent mistake to make: to trust Hitler
and nobody else.

 

My neighbour still has one of those in her garden. She uses it as a
shed.

Shame he didn't keep it - it would be useful for clearing BMW's off the
road..

Edited for accuracy

 

I'm surprised more people didn't keep them for that. They were excellent
sheds and far better built than any shed on the market.

 

Too right. Ours was used as a coal and coke store, but also provided
much entertainment as a dark hidey-hole as well as a flat roof
providing easy access to the neighbour's garden and the upper branch
of the apple tree.

'You've just drew' - how many beers did you have?

And I'll have you know my eyebrows flourish naturally, they're not cut
down in their prime and replaced by some shoddy thin black line.

Why do women do that? Shape them, yes, pluck the odd straggler,
prevent the Kiran look from getting established, but why shave the
whole thing off only to draw a pathetic looking line? I'll never
understand women.

So 'y' instead of an 'ad' scores on the scale - blimey, you must have
to stop to puke on a regular basis.

Never mind old chap, next time just step away from the computer, go
find the little woman and set about breeding the next generation of
intermittently funny chubsters.

Did The Cure do a song called 'Killing a spic?'

 

Me either, fwiw. It looks daft.

Scraggy says...

That all depends on how many you chained together and doused with petrol
first.

 

Work in progress says...

It didn't work...twice.

 

Work in progress says...

I can't understand why some women shave most of their pubes and leave a
minute landing strip above the joyful bits with an inch gap between slit
and hair.


Ffs, shave the whole lot off or trim the sides down a bit, but do a
proper fucking job of either.

 

His armies had also done extraordinarily badly against the Finns,
a nation of 14 million. After taking hundreds of thousands of
casualties, they finally won a year later by sheer weight of
numbers, but their disastrous performance was not lost on Hitler,
who concluded that if you kicked the door in, the whole rotten
structure would collapse.

 

Those numbers are certainly not soldiers. The Soviet number is about
the total death toll of the war as I remember it. So I did a quick
Google search. The numbers are of course subject to debate but it
seems to be something like this:
- Military deaths 10.5 million
- Civilian deaths 11.5 (starvation, exposure, German population policy,
worked to death ........)
- Extermination of Jews 1 million

Someone else please examine the numbers for the other nations. And
what about Japan? And is Australia/New Zeeland/India/Canada/
South Africa included in the "UK" numbers?
