Chaps, to sound like a broken record, but in particular j_jza80, can you please stop using the Quote function as a standard reply to posts on the forums. We’ll all whine when the forum is on a go slow.

Thanking you so kindly

That’s like saying if the sun doesn’t come up tomorrow there’ll be no day. You’re not really covering yourself in glory here.

There is no way we would have won the war without the USA, we needed their raw material resources as well as oil & fighting machine. Remember Germany obtained alot of their raw materials from Scandinavia in the early part of the war. Without the US the British Empire in the East would have crumbled, the Japs would have run through Burma & India (look what happened to Singapore). Without the US (& Canada of course) there would have been no successful D-Day landings and thus a strengthening of the German stronghold on the Northern coast of France. The Americans (& Canadian, NZ, Australian) played a massive role in the war, of which probably couldn’t have been replaced by Britain & France alone, and in a funny kind of way we have the Japs to thank for that, because without Pearl Harbour the Americans might well have stayed out of the war.

Absolutely stunning set of pics Darryl, love them.

No dramas mate.

Scott, the thread hasn’t been deleted, it can be found here. I’ll close the old one now this one is running though.

Can I remind our posters to please refrain from quoting photographs as this is a drain on the forum resources, thanks 🙂

He probably already is banned, I’ll check the Mod forums.

Who is/was he on here?

BeeJay definitely has a point. It takes a good comedian to make me laugh nowadays. I do like “A League Of Their Own” on Sky 1 with James Cordon & Co. Michael McIntyre is ok in small doses but what I have been doing lately is watching a load of comedy sketches from the 80’s, in particular The Young Ones. Some of this is pure class and cannot be beaten today.
When I was growing up I used to love watching The Kenny Everett Show”, “The Russ Abbott Show”, “”Benny Hill”, “The Two Ronnies” etc etc. Alot of this was pure comedy gold and cannot be beaten in my humble opinion.

For a taste of The Young Ones, here’s a few clips
