aye, but Moth hates the germans more than he hates liberation surely?
(it was the germans, right?)
- determinedmoth0
It wasn't liberation if there was never an invasion.
It was a tactical move to ALLOW the Germans to take the land.
It should be called "Thank Britan Day".
- paraselene0
see?
- kelpie0
not to be pedantc, moth, but you forgot an 'i'
- determinedmoth0
It should be called "Thank fuck we had nice waxy potatoes otherwise Britain would have had better things to worry about Day".

(May 9 06, 03:58)sorry, we're having a day of it

and remember we liberated most of mainland Europe before tending our vegetable patch.

Surely the other reason we still hold on to the Channel Islands is simply because it must annoy the French so much?
You just can't put a price on that.

happy liberation day!
and kelpie, for chrissake, mind your full stops, will you?

That's priceless.
