Div.: 19 Nov 1944. The war seems to be going quite well on all fronts. I fear the Yanks do it with undue casualties. They simply don't know how to use their artillery. [...] Gotta love the English. And the counter-attacks, that was only to make it easy on you - a bit like putting a Russian assistant referee in charge of a World Cup game, if you get me drift. Mr. Peng, I got you there, didn't I?

So two World Wars thanks to the US and Russia, and a World Cup thanks to the Russian Linesman. Oh well, I see why you are so proud... And today England was 60 for 4 against Zimbabwe, the foremost nation in Cricket. Well done, I say. Cup of tea anyone?

Maximus Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 Yes, if it wasn't for the "young" nation of the United States, Britian would be speaking German now. Zeig Hail, anyone? Geez, for such an "old" nation, you'd think you'd get a little better in warfare by now. We are really tired of bailing you "Englishmen" out of a jam. Speaking of a jam. French/English/Belgium forces slugged it out in the trenches for years in WWI. The US showed up and the War was over in less than a year. ------------------ "The greatest risk...is not taking one."

Re-write your post to include the following corrections. 1. '... a little better at warfare' not 'a little better in warfare'. 2. 'We are really tired of bailing...' should be 'We really are tired of bailing...' ------------------ Dulce Et Decorum Est Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought 16,000 of 'em (you bought 'em, too). And they look a lot worse now than they did in WWI trench warfare. Didn't we sell you a few Lewis guns after that? Well, it's not really a sale unless it's paid for, so ya got us there. And a yank name of Maxim helped the old empire maintain cyclic rates when it was Fuzzy-Wuzzies from here to the horizon, too, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
