Only because everything you say comes with that trademark Fop taint of "I know all and everybody else is inherently flawed". That might not be your intention, but it's certainly how it reads, particularly when you provide no actual discussion of exactly how "people" - whoever "people" may be, in all their pigeonholable, homogeneous glory - are going about being so staggeringly ignorant. Or, to put it another way: I don't believe anyone who's posted in this thread is unaware of the specifics of what went on in WWI, nor do I think they consider the rememberance process as mere lip service to some dates, names and numbers. And I'm pretty bemused that you seem to think otherwise. So again, tell me, what do you do that makes you so much better informed than the rest of us? Maybe we can learn from your example.

OK, I bite. How? And are you talking about the lessons of history in a broader sense, or the specific horrors of (e.g.) trench life in WWI? You seem to be addressing both so far. This is now an insult me thread (for whatever reason), I don't think discourse on that has any place here. Huh?

Fop is the only one who feels the PAIN

That and I'm not German. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=16790 That should help you with a bit of context, young Robert.

Bunch of Johnny-waddle-latelies.

Euphemism? If not I'm bloody well gonna make sure it is one! Are you now Martin behave before I carp your diem.

Well true. It's a pretty good incentive to carp the ol' diem, if nothing else.

Aye, me. Moving to Germany straight after graduation was a cracking experience, but it's put me about five years behind where I should be in terms of savings, organising private pension provision, getting anywhere near being able to own a home and so on. I try to block it out most days.

Still down with this bloody head cold, feels like it's threatening to erupt into a proper ear infection now. Still, at least it'll distract me from the derby day nerves.

They're clearly wrong, wrong, WRONG. And I really want to try one some day.

Simon Fuller?! You could start believing U.S. soccer really was just another reality TV show...

There you go steriotyping the Jews again!!! Your death will stand as a landmark in the continuing struggle to liberate the parent land from the hands of the Roman imperialist aggressors, excluding those concerned with drainage, medicine, roads, housing, education, viniculture and any other Romans contributing to the welfare of Jews of both sexes and hermaphrodites. Signed, on behalf of the P. F. J. , etc.

cretinous southern fried chicken mong. Mmmm.... chicken.

If you have a lot of time for Jews, and think they're just like us, or have Jewish mates, enjoy their rich and varied culture, please feel free to put the first of your postcode below.

On reflection, I can't believe I spoiled the thread with an on-topic post.

When are you going you big fruit? I'm on the 5th floor btw! Depends what their return and exchange conditions are like. I get bored easily.

Nar, ended up crippled by the man-flu for most of the trip. Didn't stop us doing most of the above sights and bits and bobs though.

Canny.
