In which context, will is slowly coming to realise that we were all children once.

Er…. is it because it was sitting there for a week???
Thank God rosepetal, that you didn’t do a “Little Miss Muffet” and sat on a ‘tuffet’….. it would take a lot more than a sneeze to get that out !!!

Yes of course……….be my guest!
Have you set a date?
Not yet – but I suspect that one more sarcastic comment at NcB and she’ll set the date for me. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Bloody clever these Chinese eh?
The answer could be that they execute drug smugglers and other ‘undesirables’ rather than spend years agonising over rehabilitating them – as we do in the West. The vast amounts of money thus saved is spent on an efficient and low cost infrastructure.
Well at least somebody got the irony in my reply.
Notwithstanding your New Year’s rant pikey, I suspect that Pete makes a good point. In reality, the winner(s) of a conflict are usually the ones whose view get recorded in history as the so-called ‘truth’.
Generally, they are able to minimise (or even airbrush out) any of their shortcomings and maintain focus on their righteousness etc. Nobody pays much, if any, attention to the loser’s point of view.
That said, I think that your drawing the distinction between “concentration camps” and “extermination camps” is excellent if only because it highlights the principal purpose of the ‘camp’ rather than the fact of its existence.
However, the main thrust of my argument still stands. All this constant harping back to what the Nasis did or didn’t do is so last Century. Time to move on eh?

….PB is the very soul of generosity and the king of freedom of speech on these here boards. His injection of levity and the occasional barbed comment give weight and substance to the plethora of inanity that drips from our fingers a myriad times a day! Without his perspicacity and wisdom we would be so much the poorer, and blah blah blah blah etc etc etc etc
I don’t suppose you’d let me use this for my epitaph would you?

missed it too
wonder if PB went straight to his room after that dressing down :lol:Yes I’m afraid I did, and no mug of Horlicks either. However, I remain unrepentant (as you’d expect) in the face of having to plough through reams of soul searching psycho babble dressed up as third rate philosophy.
We are all entitled to our opinions – some more so than others it would seem.
……. and if you can’t stay safe, please get pissed and fall under a bus. Remember, all those nice nursies who have to work this evening need something to do with their time.
