Quite Quite old Boy!!!! Sun never sets on the British Empire!!
Two days ago WNU reporting name of Fatman ran a Moon of Alabama post with the same theme. Now Fatman has come back for a second bite of the apple.
At 10:25 Littleboy is backing him up.
there are people who appreciate the wittiness and yet truthfulness. You are not one them.
I agree. 1041 is out to lunch
@10:25
I see you know your history. +10 to you.
I've always disliked Monty. Genuine example where the winners write the history and glorifies him. My view on the English empire was very very low in my younger days thanks to him.
And yet Brittania ruled half the world
maybe not for very long, but neither did Alexander
Monty had nothing to little to do with the empire... He was just a snivelling, conniving little shit that just wanted all the glory for himself. Couldn't fucking beat Rommel without a ratio of 1000:1 in everything.
