Came back as a mature student myself to the old College of Business Studies (21st anniversary mob!) and I think this is what shaped my views on integrating education . We were from all differents arts and parts but nobody really gave a damn as our priorities were a) have a blast and b) get some qualifications (option c was to marry a girl from the 'other' tradition but not everyone was so lucky!) Apart from being deadly serious about needing to educate our kids together I do like taking the piss and the closer to the weekend I get the more ....'provacative' I become. Things only calm down after a good binge drink a load of drugs and some recreational rioting ! Have a good one
Cheers!

A rhetorical question is one put forward that one either knows the answer to or is put forward for effect. No he wasnt over Dresden, He was over Frankfurt, Meissen, flew pathfinders over Berlin and Dusseldorf and never lost a nights sleep. Y'see, he was helping to stop the spread of the ingrained ubermench zeitgeist that pervaded your ideal pre war society. (Hitler :Bad egg in the end - and I'm sick?) Ive heard that' I'm not wasting a second more of my time,' routine from the Rathmines/Rannala asshole brigade before, usually when pointing out that the euro bananas have run out and the 'republic' is more class ridden than the UK. Incidentally, even in London, the vulgar consumerism of the yuppie 80's is generally frowned upon. I think Clarkson observed that the same clique in Dublin hadnt noticed the iceberg.

Best comment of the day BR!

Glad you liked it mate. Have a good one yerself!

As a Jeffersonian Democrat, I can only hope the whole rotten edifice comes crashing down. Apart from its equality and Human rights work, its supra national federalism and corporacy increasingly isolates decision making from democracy. Wasnt it Schiller who said 'consider the German. How noble the individual, how wretched the race'. Great nation my dads old bombers bomb bay doors.

Final paragraph somewhat reinforces the point I was trying to make amigo. Oddly enough I didnt mention Normandy, although you are quite correct. You forget however that the majority of the 'background' work for this one was also carried out through SOE rather than by our friends accross the pond with OSS. Yes, the Russians suffered abysmally both in relation to combat casualties, and the treatment of their pows. Their officer corps had also suffered abysmally at the hands of the governement which would perhaps explain the total lack of strategic planning or tactical competence in the early years of the war. Revisionism is a terrible thing, but WWII would have been a hell of a lot shorter if it hadnt been for the UK and the logistics support from the USA, until the US fuklly committed after Pearl .

Never bothered with the spray on jeans. Ive always been a fat hairy biker so I would have ripped the backside out of them getting on or off, and men in spandex is just not nice. Have a good weekend
Cheers!

Hi Bernard. Did New Order not come out of the remains of Joy Division after wassisface killed himself? I always had problems with the names of the electro pop mob as they were flirting with some titles/names that were kind of popular in the 1930's in central Europe. Anyway they didnt come near AC/DC, Skynrd Allman Brothers Judas Priest and Saxon!! Rock on :-)

No mate . They were going to Masserene base to lay a wreath in respect of the memory of the two sappers....not. Now this one does actually concern me a payer of the ridiculously high rates set by the antrim wasters boozing club. (or Council as it prefers) Clotworthy and the park surounding it is about as enclosed a space that I can imagine for such a display. Its important for some in the borough to respect this anniversary and if they arent going to take over the town center then fine. Its not likely to cause anywhere near as much disruption as it would outside teh park. Properly marshalled and policed its a no issue

Honestly U32, I couldnt give a toss if they want to paint their backsides Red white and Blue /Green White and Gold and swing from tree to tree singing the lumberjack song. Its Friday ergo I'm in full piss taking mode . Happy Python day to you sir.
