Accip74 7,112 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) .......the other thing with Americans....haha... ....is their uncanny ability to advertise their presence. I live just outside a little town which is full of different nationalities, shit loads of Brits, Germans etc etc etc most of which you barely notice when sat in one of the local restaurants, that is, until the Americans walk in, it's instant "we are here!" Nearly as bad as an African on the phone.....haha... Maybe I should move this to the 101 thread? Edited September 11, 2017 by Accip74 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 7,957 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Never ceases to amaze me how American-centric British news is. It's almost as if the rest of the world does not exist. I always get the feeling when watching British news broadcasts, that Britain is the insignificant kid in the class who focuses exclusively on the school bully to gain some sort of kudos and protection. The stark truth is that American protection would never be forthcoming unless it suited their overall foreign policy designs. Check out the body language in this clip. Bliar hovering around Bush like an attentive waiter, Bush chewing away, talking to Blair over his shoulder, contemptuously interrupting Bliar. Says it all. watch Edited September 11, 2017 by jukel123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,751 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/11/starving-british-holidaymakers-told-rescue-planes-cannot-take/ So the Canadians, Dutch and now French, in addition to the Yanks, have all managed to get their citizens to safety....... meanwhile we still flounder? RFA Mounts Bay is in the Carribean with Marines delivering aid. HMS Ocean is on the way to assist. Surely to f**k some desk jockey in the Foreign Office could organise something? We're regarded as the second most powerful country on the planet based on our ability to project power globally and protect our citizens and interests and yet we are failing on something so trivial? As far as I'm aware Mounts Bay is within tens of kilometres of these stranded citizens, is it really an impossible task? Contact the Dutch and send marines to fetch them, no?

scothunter 12,609 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 When the f**k did the French ever give anyone the time of day. A more arrogant akward nation ever! Even during the war after the way they behaved with the vichy goverment and refusing to scuttle there fleet etc etc. Strutted around after the war like they f***ing won it. Snubbed us a few times since then. Then there was sues. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they did those Brits would be complaining about the lack of tea making facilities onboard the Blackhawk. They'd complain that you call biscuits cookies, and they'd ask your chaps to stop calling crisps, chips and to use the word chips to describe fries. They probably did get picked up by your lads, and then quickly set down when the whinging started! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
