    Israel. Saudi. The US. Do you seriously imagine we haven't figured out a
    way to launch with the Merkins' say so?

    Oh, hell, no! Life's too short to waste my time thinking about it, so
    I'd go to my default attitude to such situations; "their problem, ****
    'em".

    If they were trying to convince me that Davro was funny, however,
    "**** 'em" goes out of the window, to be (predictably) replaced by
    "**** off!" and the sound of the door being slammed shut behind them.

    Course they can; you'd be surprised what can be ignored! :)

    Actually, you probably wouldn't.

  4. I thought there still was: specifically, regarding their electrics.

    You've lost me there.

    I do have the urge to nuke Italy at the moment but that's a different
    thing.

  7. In a TV interview outside the stadium in Berlin when England were
    playing Germany in 2008? fans were chanting that in the background, most
    were less than 30?

    I remembered it because when I was working in Stuttgart years ago the
    English fans were chanting it.

  8. When my Mum and Dad came to holiday with me in Germany in the late 70s I
    was living in a new building estate.

    Dad disappeared for a while and I popped into the back garden to see
    where he had got to.

    He was sitting on a row of boxes next door with four of the German house
    builders passing a bottle of beer back and forth. (My Dad didn't
    normally drink.)

    He had been ribbed about coming back to carry on the fight by the
    builders and my Dad pointed out he had spent WW2 in Burma.
    From then on he was their hero.
    What was it like. Etc. Tell them what he did.

    If ever he went out during their beer break ( which was often) he was
    called over to tell them more about his time fighting in the far east.

    Trident is useless because we would never use it. It would be cheaper to
    slip Bonner a Mil under the counter and forget the whole fucking thing.

    If we were not prepared to use Nukes on the likes of the Chinese & North
    Koreans/Vietnamese during the wars of 1950/60's or on the Argie invasion
    fleet or anything else, then save a packet and get rid of them. Spend some
    of the saving stopping anyone else developing them. Seems like common sense
    to me.

    I heard some recorded interviews last year with some of the old Commie
    Traitors (Old Labour/Wilson/Callaghan) where they admitted that even if the
    USSR had nuked us/Europe they would not have launched any UK nuclear
    response.

    Quite so. And at least we can all agree to get together and take the
    piss out of the Americans...

    Can you find a link to that because my understanding is that even
    under a Labour government one of the key parts of our defence policy
    was that we would launch a 'limited' first strike if we ever went to
    war with the USSR.

    We were loading up nuclear weapons as a matter of course under several
    Labour governments and nukes were deployed to the Falklands so never
    be under the impression that we wouldn't use them. There's a World of
    difference between knowing that a nifty little battlefield nuke makes
    a handy tool for fucking up an armoured advance across Germany and
    thinking that nuclear warfare means turning Moscow into a desert.

    It was only recently that the last surviving military man from the first
    World War died, so I reckon it'll be quite some time before the last of the
    2nd one will seen.

    When I were nowt burra lad, we heard **** all about any of the wars and
    there was precious little about them on the TV, yet we still know (and
    talk/make jokes) about them.

    These days, there's a program about one of the wars on TV every day and
    night, so it's not going to disappear from memory very quickly.

    It will be if they ever switch on the History channel or most of the other
    Discovery channels. Only last night there was an hour long program on the
    Spitfire.

    Without any help from the septics too. That's a bit more than "The
    Superpower" can say.
