First topic message reminder :

Beautiful - well played  Eat it Tina.

Alright windows. Bloody cold this morning. I should have followed suit and purchased a set of long johns like Rowls.

I gave up all hope of ever being excepted back in the North this morning. Coat, hat, gloves, scarf, thick woolly socks. Cup of coffee on the platform to warm my insides.

Jeff must have enjoyed his warming Radox soak last night.

Morning all - I don't have cats or long johns so just popping by to say hello. Rick is usually on by now so he could well be LeOn BrItTan.

I thought legal people had fridays off?

I made do with the Tech and a v-neck jersey. Bought some de-icer yesterday and it froze on the screen.

Starting things off with an oxymoronic typo Tino...

Only the afternoons seany... The law doesn't have time off (apart from Friday afternoons of course)

Morning all, I am happy to report I am not LeOn BriTain

Usually needed as we've suffered 4 days of our clients analizing us without first applying lubricant.

That's warmed me up.

Looking good, Sean. Looking good.

Trouble with jerseys is that they tend to hold on to the previous night's culinary activities. I am occasionally getting an ever so slight whiff of toad in the hole and onion gravy.

Not sure their definition of slim is the same as mine.

I didn't realise she was a mother of one. Any chance?

Plus they look really naff.

I didn't actually break the seal, so no chance. Even if I did I don't think anything would have happened. If my swimmers were anything like there'd be as many little michaels around the place as there are little windows.

All of This and Nothing.

Pep Guardiola is fond of a jersey.

seanmichaels wrote:Pep Guardiola is fond of a jersey.

As is Arsene Wenger.

And speaking of him, did anyone watch The Eichmann Trial the other day.

It was a really excellent programme but I couldn't stop thinking how much Adolf Eichmann looked like Monsieur Wenger.

No, missed it. Caught a bit of a program called survivng the holocaust. That Jewish bloke was funny going on about some french bird he was seeing with big cans.

You can wash them you know.

Did a paper on the Eichmann trial at Uni, interesting stuff...

The cat is good thanks, michaels. All the survival and combat training I've been giving it is paying dividends. The other night Galtova wouldn't let it take food off her plate and it bit her on the hand, though I got in more trouble for laughing than the cat did for being violent.

Where do you get these rodentesque type things? Haven't successfully drugged our cat yet, she's immune to catnip, possibly on account of her intensive training schedule.

rick_dagless wrote:Did a paper on the Eichmann trial at Uni, interesting stuff...

Did you see the programme? It was cut with real footage of the trial. Harrowing stuff when they force Eichmann to watch film of stick thin bodies being bulldozed into pits. He never breaks. Just sits and watches it. The odd twitch aside, he is unmoved.

Pets at home. How old is the cat now? Usually immune until 8 months.

I do, but not everyday. New shirt pants and socks everyday.

Do you wash your long johns every night?

Or just bin them.

I only wear them at the football, but would certainly wash them after every wear.

Archive footage which I have seen before mate, but he is some C*nt I tell ya

Bleddy'ell. Just incredible that that sh1t could have happened. Sober reading.

A year and a half. She shows interest but not for long. Maybe she's ready for something harder like dog biscuits or crack.

Too sombre on here today, anyone got a quiz?

We are fluctuating between the holocaust and cats.

All that's good about the Culture Cup, right there.

Have a holocat, should box it off

Spoiler:

Lovely stuff.

I watched another World At War last night, have been wrestling with a question ever since, if I absolutley had to serve in either the Desert in North Africa or the Russian winter which would I prefer, difficult question.

Are you talking to me yet?

If so, I would have to say the desert. Those Russian winters looked brutal. From what I understand, the fighting was heavier there as well. Although that is not to downplay the North African campaign.

I think bone chilling cold would be harder to handle than sweating all day.

I am talking to you, I was yesterday I was just being rude to you. A small distinction I concede. Think I am in agreement with you, both look absolutely intolerable, but Russia just looks beyond the pale. The fighting there looks worse, and whilst this is tinged with hindsight, virtually unwinnable.

Also Rommel was a nice guy if you got caught....

why was africa so bad?
I reckon Guam would have been quite tasty.

The Germans didn't even have the right winter clothing did they? Am I right in thinking that?

I think they thought it would be all over by the time winter rolled in.

Although if you had served in North Africa, you could have watched Carnera get flattened by Kay Masaki.

Heat, raging dysentry, a shortage of clean water, flies pretty much everywhere.

seanmichaels wrote:why was africa so bad?

Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu. You wouldn't want to spend much time there in 1944.

Bastogne....

seanmichaels wrote:Bastogne....

That as well.

I become really dibilitated when I get cold toes / hands. I would have been rubbish so would probably have chosen North Africa.

Italy would have been a half decent gig.

Not much to say, but as sean just revived my post on the Limerick thread, I thought I would do him a solid...

looking forward to fish, chips and mushy peas for lunch though.

I'm gonna go to the chip shop at lunch. what goes with curry sauce and chips?

Sausage...

battered?

Preferably not but if that is all they have... The batter tends to mush up after a while.

Also those Pacific islands... Saipan, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa. Hell on earth.
