The history was one of domination and rebellion, in case that passed you by.

Oh, I don't know. Spain has the whole of South America to call on.

Russian pikeys? I like the idea.


We actually have a lot of Polish peeps round these parts. Who are all very lovely.

I think the empire will die.


Just wondering about what to call them, in the meantime. To raise a laugh, like. BBW, I expected you to be more on the case here.

That's an arithmetic epic FAIL.


I notice you don't hang out in the Drawing Room. If you did, you might welcome some light relief in the Lounge from time to time.


The cheese-eating surrender monkey meme was massive; why not want to promote equal inventiveness around another target? Had a sense of humour bypass recently?

I don't carry a gun, nor am I overweight, or overbearing for that matter, am rather reserved, perhaps too clever for my own good and do not like burgers (parents were married when I was born incidentally). ;)


But I don't live in the States, thank the Good Lord.

Yup, it's when the prayer mats come out that the cat is out of the bag.

As I said early on, kind of, cheese-eating surrender monkey is a characterisation that may or may not have elements of truth. But it's got enough truth (the French are famed for their cheese; the French as a nation do not by and large go to war; but could someone explain the monkey thing to me?), and enough pithy somethingorother to make it really catchy.


So I suppose I'm looking for something that represents the US on the grand scale (something that many people do, something they are famed for producing), plus something that represents the nation/government angle. And perhaps some kind of animal ;-) All rolled into one.

The French not go to war?

Wow that's like saying the pope doesn't wipe his arse in the woods.


And like Brendan says, long been reknowned for their prowess for a very very long time.

But you hide behind one ill thought out strategic defence line......

They're actually pretty good at it too contrary to comon (well not common more like just Anglo Saxon) belief.



You'd have thought the Anglo Saxons would have had pretty good reason to believe the French were quite tasty. What with having had their arse handed to them on a tapestry, and all.

That was very funny Ted.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.”
    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
