    Never mind your 9/11 **** and its 10th anniversary. Today is 9/9/11 and that my friends only happens every 100 years.

    On this day 100 years ago : Italy declared war on the Ottoman Turks and annexed Libya, Tripolitania, and Cyrenaica in North Africa.

    Probably the only time Italy won a war by itself

    The Romans would have fed 19th/20th century Italians to the lions

    I wonder why the Eye-ties have always been so **** at fighting? They are basically the Romans mixed with blacks, which you think would make them physically more able if anything. And yet they would struggle to storm a kids' soft-play area.

    The problem is they're too busy stopping in the street to admire themsleves in shop windows or pinching girls bums to actually worry about having a fight.

    Stopping for a 6 hour lunch break probably didn't do them any favours either.

    Have the English ever won a war?

    100 years war.... nope

    Napoleonic wars.... credit has to go to Prussians so nope

    Wars of Scottish and American Independence....nope

    3 wars in Afghanistan.....nope

    Ireland....nope...just clinging onto a scrap of it

    You could claim the Norman conquest but that would make you French

    World wars.....no more than ball boys to the real players USA and Russia...go team

    I mean you had to go to deepest darkest south America to find someone to defeat by your own.....and even then thatcher contemplated nuclear attacks

    Sorry....I forgot....you won your civil war

    <ok>
