    He's an Irish American by the name of Greg Rogers. He has a habit of
    cross-posting anywhere he thinks there might be 'Limeys' for him to have a
    go at. In the rugby NG we just think of him as a bit 'special' and generally
    ignore him.

    Ah, he's what we'd call a window-licker... if he could afford a house
    with glass in the windows

    Really? You'd never know. I think he only real advantage to being born
    an Englishman is learning a universally accepted language from birth,
    and there are plenty of other nations who can give that same thing to a
    child.

    Well, it has to be a good four numbers. And the bonus ball of course,
    which means you're so close but you actually get very little. This
    situation, of course, you accept with your lip stiffened, chin firm and
    a song in your heart.

    You replied to 4 groups, so "this group" doesn't really mean a lot. And I
    won't see any reply to this, as I'm not subscribed to the car group.

    The English had 4 black players in the starting line-up and a few more
    on the bench.

  10. Interestingly the US Attorney General called America a nation of
    cowards last year for being afraid of having an honest debate about
    race and racism in America. That's ironic, innit?

    They're ugly - you don't dock their tails.

    This is the Plastic Paddy who supports 'The Cause' yet condemns 9-11 you're
    talking to. Irony may not be the route to take.

    I take your first point, because it's a good one and it is amusing.
    Check his truncated 'follow-up' line though - he'd cut it to one group,
    presumably his own.

    The Stuka was a shinning example of German efficiency - the only fighter in
    WW2 that needed a fighter escort and every time our lads shot one down they
    got 2 Nazis for the price of one.

    And if the Yanks start on about saving our bacon, remind them that Hitler
    had his boffins working on dirty nukes (the best they could do without all
    their Jewish scientists) and the means to drop them on the USA.

    There were several versions of the "Amerikabomber" on the drawing board
    along with plans for a long range booster stage for the V2 rocket.

    And the Yanks weren't doing us any favours, Hitler formally declared war on
    the US a few days after the Japs hit Pearl Harbour - from that point on we
    were basically running up a lend-lease debt to fight their war for them.

    That's quite an interesting piece of history and the drawings for the Delta
    Wing (jet) aeroplane looked rather nice.
    It was however a one way trip for the pilot.

    All becomes clear.

    Hey Greg, don't you wish you'd had the guts to starve yourself to
    death when it was fashionable or are you too scared to stand up for
    your beliefs?

  18. Oh, they could have done much better than that.
    It's thanks to one (or maybe more) researchers who had the insight into
    the plutonium producing pile but sat on the info, and the war didn't
    last another couple of years, that the Nazis had no bomb.
    Bear in mind the Nazis didn't have universal support and many many
    people actively or passively worked against the regime.

    Oh dear Ian, get your facts from war comics, do you? Or from reading
    Rainer Karlsh? Next you'll be quoting from the Hitler Dairies.

    To have a dirty bomb you need material that has been passed through a
    working nuclear reactor, something they didn't have. Germany gave up
    on a nuclear weapon in 1943, after their scientists told Hitler it
    would take too long to come to fruition. The only nuclear research
    being done in Germany by the end of the war was for a nuclear power
    grid, and it was still completely theoretical. But if they had, by
    some slight of hand, managed to produce a couple of nukes of any
    destructive power, I'm sure Hitler would have completely ignored
    London, Moscow, or a major concentration of enemy troops in Europe and
    hiffed the little buggers at New York in a fit of pique.

    The Amerikabomer has some credibility as a delivery option for the
    imaginary nukes, except for the fact that the plan was abandoned by
    1942. Even if they had resuscitated it in 1945, the plan called for
    using a base in the Azores, which from 1943 onwards was leased to the
    British by Portugal. A little awkward for the Luftwaffe, and you.

    What a complete and utter load of bollox.

    What they were striving for was radioactive material sufficiently refined
    to bring together something approaching critical mass to produce some degree
    of chain reaction.

    Blast damage would have been minimal but radioactive fallout would be lethal
    over a wide area.

    When the allies overran the occupied countries they found makeshift reactor
    piles for concentrating radioactive material, some experts reckoned they
    were only a few years behind the Americans, but those estimates were based
    on the assumption that they were after the most efficient detonation - they
    were much closer to achieving a very dirty device.
