That would be nice, but in reality in 400 years Ulster would probably be divided between the Charveliers and the Jacksonites, each saying that their guitar was the only true axe and the other sucked!

Even though they had the same manufacturer....

Sound familiar? hehe..

so who would win which one is better?

Well, I don't necessarily support the IRA killing innocents, but you have to admit England treated Ireland appallingly for nearly 1,000 years, and killed plenty of Irish civilians. Ulster is a toughie because you now have entrenched generations from both sides, but the Irish have a more legitimate and longer-standing gripe than do the Muslims, really.

Try telling that to a Muslim who thinks that for the past 1500 years, Christian Crusaders and Jewish Zionists have been trying to subjugate them!
I "admit" nothing, I haven't killed any Irish, but I put up with them tarmaccing my drive (badly) and sending their pikeys over here on endless crime sprees. From where I'm sitting, right here right now, things are most definitely balanced!

As for Reagan opposing the British retaking the Falklands, that's the firrst I've heard of it. My understanding was that we provided the Royal forces with refueling and resupply and the US media was certainly pro-Britain in its coverage of that conflict. I heard nothing that indicated our government was against it, but who knows?

I believe Reagan personally was on the British side (possibly because Mrs Thatcher flexed her crop and made him lick her thigh-high boots), despite declaring he couldn't understand why we were "arguing over that little ice cold bunch of land down there", but the US administration was by no means unified.
The US ambassador to the UN opposed the British action to reclaim our land (till she got slapped down by her bosses) and the US stayed most definitely OUT of the argument, publically at least, letting Britain do all the military prep on it's own. Though I'm sure US intelligence played a large part in our efforts, on the surface, the US was seen to be staying away from any Latin American ding-dong in case it upset their anti-commie operations.
If it hadn't been for our stout old chum (or murdering dictator, depending on your viewpoint) General Pinochet of Chile, we would perhaps have been in serious shit, him providing the only official springboard for liberation, and letting the Argies know they weren't totally unopposed in that region, even if the US looked the other way.
Couple that with the fucking French continuing to flog Exocets etc to the Argies despite UN embargos, ( Hey, now there's something new eh, French directly selling arms to our enemies despite being asked not to? Just like they are still doing now. A nation of Collaborators, "cheese-eating surrender monkeys") , we could have been on a sticky wicket. It was only thanks to the US leaning heavily on the Frogs to give us the Exocet codes that we didn't end up losing more ships - those hairy armpitted garlic noshers actually refused to give them to us at first!

That's a play on words of the old Eisenhower for Prez button. His nickname was "Ike". So the badge said; "I Like Ike". That was a compliment. Grasshopper.

Fett, now you have to explain to him who Grasshopper is.

(Then tell him the joke! You know the joke. The one where they are both sitting crosslegged in the cave........ It's a killer!!)

While we're on about the Falklands, apparently the task force sent down there was bigger than the entire Royal Navy is these days.

Very interesting. Those men have more resolve and backbone in their shit than the fat chick and Mr Bean who sold their story have in their entire bodies.
Most interesting was the fact that one of the blokes married a Chinese girl, you'd have thought the last thing he wanted to see was anything yellow with slitty eyes!

And there, my friends, is the true enemy. Forget ragheads and their medieval religions, we only need them because we need taxi dirvers and waiters. The real enemy, the real threat to all our liberty and well-being is the Chinaman.
Once they all get mechanised, swap pushbikes for cars, we are fucked. Totally.

Best to have a pre-emptive strike, I say. Anyone for tennis?

And it was crewed by men. Real men.

Erm, let's not let this descend into a discussion about beefy sailors please. You know what I mean!

I'm currently reading Vulcan 607, the story of the RAF raid on Port Stanley. It's a bloody good book, just a bit depressing when you consider the current state of the Forces...

Well hey, at least you're not a racist about the Irish! Regardless of what you "admit" history is clear and you bear the consequences for your ancestors. Think about that when you act today, as your descendants will also pay the price.

You know Muslims have not existed for quite 1500 years yet, don't you? Of course you don't... Regardless, the Muslims attacked Europe first and have been trying to subjugate IT ever since. They seem to be doing it by immigration these days, since Europeans seem afraid to enforce their own riot laws.

The US does have the Monroe Doctrine which basically prohibits European powers from interfering with Western Hemisphere affairs. The US ambassador probably cited that until getting further instructions.

Our resupplying your vessels and looking the other way WAS supportive. As fopr using Chile instead of US faciliti8es for your actual springboard, have you looked at the map? Could you have run that operation from the nearest US naval base, thousands of miles away? Blaming us over that is prety ridiculous if you know geography.

I don't throw the word around much, but reading your post here pretty much outs you as a serious racist. How do you feel about becoming the minority in your own country, as is happening?

I think he's just writing that way to be of some humor Rich, which some people may not find so humorous but if it gets their goat, then hey, it may be some fun.. Serious?.. seriously not serious about being serious.

..and don't call me Shirley.

Okay, SURELY I won't!

Maybe you're right, you can never tell with the English! But I've worked with a few and they really seem to look down upon Irish people. I have both Irish and English in my blood so SOMEBODY got along apparently, but it's hard to tell from outside if someone's kidding or not. If you WERE kidding, R, than I apologize. If not, then...not.

[Cleveland Metal]

I have English, Irish, German, and Scottish in me... Amazing how all of them got together in the first place, hehe...
