We finished paying you back the money a few years ago mate. So thanks for pretty much nothing.

AH yes. Gas, Ammo, ordance, food, equipment to build airstrips. If you guys weren’t so worthless we wouldn’t have had to help you!

Bridge too far. Hmmmm.

Monty’s plan was audacious. it also stood a bloody good chance of shortening the war. There were two main failures – intelligence didn’t know about the SS Division on rest in the area, and the weather wasn’t ideal for what they were doing. The major failure was in allowing the air support to be undertaken by the USAAF – the RAF’s 2nd TAF, which were the ‘expert’ in the field, were not allowed to get involved due to the risk of being shot down en-masse by American pilots (that’s a verifiable fact btw). So, the para’s got virtually no air support.

But Market Garden a failure? Hardly. Eindhoven and Nijmegen were taken by the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions. Arnhem was battled for intensely, and for longer than feasible with the supplies that the troops had. If only the Gurads Armoured had been able to move up faster to link up it would have been a different story. A failure in one objective, yes. But not through Monty’s plan being bad.

I guess when your country provides all of the materials you get to call the shots!

How wrong you are! I like meat, I have to cats. I like to wound english ( PESTS) sparrows with my high powered pellet gun and let my cats finish them off. Brutal but is a cheap Gladiator show. Just don’t like Pussy’s

I cannot recall ever hearing Mel Gibson admitting that his travesty of a film ‘Braveheart’ was anything more then a fairytale. I loath and despise the man for having no regard whatsoever for this Countries history. He should be battered about the head with his Oscar (I’d be pleased to do it) which should then be taken away from him and given to a real film maker.

And then we have ‘The Patriot’. What can I say about that pile of ****e? A backwoodsman (Gibson) and his son manage to rout a whole column of redcoats. The British officer who is the villian of the piece is played like a character out of one of the Highlander films. Men, women and children, British Colonists mind you, are driven into a church which is then set alight by the Highlander character. You’re damn right that we British hate this film!

On one hand your civil then on another you want Mel battered about the head with his oscar? You highlander in the closet you!
