    You forgot about Happy Tiger. He never avoided confrontation when he was safely behind a keyboard.

    I bet that's what passes for persuasive argument where you come from.

    I meant the house you come from not the City. I would never accuse anyone else of being like you.

    You seem to take pride in insulting people over the internet. I suppose for some people it gives them a purpose in life.

    Yes, I can explain that. I am meaning the residential property that you reside in. You leave the property to go and see City play and therefore you have come from that property.

    Are you pissed?

    On your original claim about SAS soldiers leaving the Army and then re joining.

    2 questions;

    1. Have you ever served in the Army?

    2. Do you know anyone who has ever served in 22 SAS?

    Thanks for that source, Peter. It makes interesting reading. I don't claim to be any sort of an authority on this subject but I do have personal experience and also an ability to understand when facts and assumption become confused. I certainly know of involvement in Vietnam, I am familiar with some of the American and Australian units mentioned and I would agree that the methods of involvement were blurred, at best. Training assistance/support has always been a great disclaimer to counter claims of active service involvement. But all I see in that lecture to support what you wrote (the discussion point) is heresay and assumption, nothing conclusive, however compelling it might be, and much of it is compelling in it's presentation.

    It just seems a way of bending the truth that governments of all persuasions feel more comfortable with.

    I just realised we're bemused and arguing online with a fat old **** who thinks adding numbers up is hard and dangerous work. Tackling the lawn is as outdoorsy as he gets. The only thing he's probably ever served is a default notice. Not personally of course, someone else woulda done that, but he did the wet work on it. Oh yeah.

    He watches the National Geographic channel though, and he has the internet, so he knows what it feels like to stand up and be counted. He's seen other people do it.

    He thinks you and I are different offline than we are online, which is kinda funny. If I was to pick an online personality I sure as **** wouldn't have chosen this one. I'da have gone for a way cooler one. Like Chazz has.

    <laugh>

    I'm just going to stop responding to his bollocks btw and reserve my pity for him offline.

    What a temper you have. But I have to admit I did like the bit where you said you were going to stop responding.

    Back to Winston, I have always been interested in his secret army, the SOE, which operated behind enemy lines. Most famously in support of the French and Dutch resistance, however they also conducted many operations in what became eastern Europe. They supported the Poles, Czechs, Hungarians and both factions in Yugoslavia, Tito and the Serb Chetniks. Free anti-Nazi and anti-communist partisans. Its these people who were betrayed and swallowed up by Stalin and its a good point that the betrayal wasn't really Churchill's as we voted Atlee in immediately after WW2.

    If you ever find yourself at a loose end in Amsterdam, I can recommend a visit to the Dutch Resistance Museum.

    http://www.verzetsmuseum.org/museum/en/museum

    It should really be called the Dutch Lack Of Resistance Museum but hay ho, so it goes.


    A useful insight into how to adapt to hosting an aggressive occupying enemy should you ever need to do so.











    I'm guessing the Dutch never had a finest hour.

    We did.
