Bitchy

I love history but arguing about details is pointless, like bickering about whether Columbus left Portugal in April or May of ........ who cares, he left....and discovered.....Haiti !

Joan of Arc wasn't burnt by the English (yes, I did not state British) but was ransomed to the French (yes, they paid for her) who then tried and burnt her - we've had a bad press for years !

Jerry got a sniff of bangers and mash pretty damned quickly because no-one, not the BEF or the French believed they would come through the Ardennes (they made the same mistake again in December '44), the Belgians wouldn't let the Allies onto their territory to block them at the canals and the BEF and 100,000 French soldiers (again, the French love stating that we left 'em on the beach) only managed to get away because Adolf was scared of a flank attack coming up from Le Havre/Abbeville and held his armour back !

You do know your history Sean; Now back in 1973 a man called Spike Anderson......................................................................................................
 
Peace and love is not conducive to a busy interesting forum

It is a well known fact that a few nice argumentative and tongue in cheek insults gets the place buzzing

So come on nick start whoring :rolleyes:or i will give you a slap next time I see you:p

You don't know what you'd be unleashing if i did start whoring! :lol:

Bt after fecking up for a month have finally sorted out my broadband and i should be back online properly at home from next friday hoozah!

Brace yourself fella.... :driving::smash::cheers:
 
I totally agree Steve their is nothing more boring that a forum where everybody is ass kissing all the time, But you always get a few gentle souls that can't take a joke or just take a reply the wrong way and get all stressed and upset, Or in some cases just run off for a cry on mummies shoulder :eek::rolleyes:, So personally I alway try and tread a bit gently until I've got to know a few people and how their humour works or doesn't in some cases :unsure:.

But nothing replaces actually meeting face to face, sharing a drink and a laugh !

Thanks Mr Ex......but I wasn't completely correct here ! This is the official explanation put out but in fact, at this point, Hitler was still counting upon a cease-fire/truce/peace between Britain and Germany with an agreement that Germany keep territory won up until the French coalfields in depts 59 and 62 and the Alsace region.

Hitler still thought (rightly ?) that the risk came from the East and hoped to seal his western back door before aiming for the snow !

If he hadn't attacked Poland but France instead, he might have got it !
 
Fat poof


Or got rid off blubbery fatso Goering & improved on his radar instead of farting around with Mussolini. DJZ 60;)

I agree their is nothing like meeting face to face and getting to know people in person, This is why the GTIROC has died a death as a club, No one ever meets so their can be a lot of argument amongst the newer members who just don't know each other at all really.

Personally I look forward to meeting as many of you guys as pos next year if I can make it down to some of your events, I wont be going as many things as I'd like but living in Aberdeen these days makes it not only difficult but expensive to come down south.

Mind you it must be getting hard for a lot of you old codgers to get in and out of your z's these days :eek:;), Maybe it's time for the Daewoo Matiz :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:.

Yes I did think that as I typed it :redface:, I guess I still feel a bit of an outsider at the moment.
