We aren't some ####y, little, lickspittle, third world country to be pushed around by sinister-looking men in 70s shades: we are the ####ing British

Psst... we won.

We aren't some ####y, little, lickspittle, third world country to be pushed around by sinister-looking men in 70s shades: we are the ####ing British and we don't ship our citizens off to any ####ing country unless that country can show us a really good reason why we should. And even then we might just tell you to #### off.

Perhaps not, but when you go up against a major military power like ARGENTINA we have to come bail your @$$ out just like we did in WWI and WWII.

i'm given to understand that its 20 US Divisions, 14 British divisions, 3 Canadian divisions and one each from France and Poland.

I'm having trouble hunting down the exact numbers, and don't have a lot of time for it as well. According to this site my Nazi numbers were low as well. This article claims 46 Nazi infantry divisions in France and 9 Panzer divisions But doesn't clearly state the number of Allied divisions.

Perhaps raw numbers would be better, according to this article there were "more than" 150,000 Allied troops invading, with 850,000 Nazi troops in France. Take out 50% or so of Americans (plus all of our other irreplaceable support) and it's about 75,000 Allied troops against 850,000 Nazis.

Clearly German power wasn't going to go away any time soon.

....we are the inventors of just about every sodding invention that has made man's life a little bit better in the last 400 years....


All right! Stop right there!
This is too silly!

Inventors? Did you mean inventors as in "toothbrush technology," or inventors such as "Al Gore?"

I didn't have much good to say about Tony Blair until he came through for us in this war.

As for the extradition mess, faTeddy started out messing with the "emigrant" rules in 1986 for his Irish pals. He has been in a state of intoxication since then, so the 9/11 guys came here, too. So sue him.

Well said. BTW this looks like a candidate for the next incarnation of the undead thread.
