I always think that when I'm in a bad mood it's better not to post in the forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always find it best not to try to convey that someone is in a bad mood just because they type something you don't agree with.

And there's me thinking no one ever agrees with anything you type Marmion.

It's about bloody time people stopped harking back to WW2 as representing something lost. It was a war FFS, and we learned bugger all from it as we still send countless numbers of our youth to die and kill the youth of other countries, and sometimes even the women and children as well. But let's all sing along to this crap.

Oooooooooooooooooooh!, int she grumpy

His last three 'score years and ten' have been spent in the darkness of the earth.

He would be 87 if he were alive today

Sometimes it is difficult to see what good comes of something and what lessons we have learnt for it. Perhaps it is not the lesson we want to see - an end to wars, but instead the lesson that we can stand up to evil and not let it win.

I have this portrait on my wall -

It is taken in 1940 after most of Europe had fallen to Germany and a good year before the USA came into the war. It is often forgotten that we stood alone against Germany for this time. I don't see it as glorifying or celebrating war to have this but as a demonstration of how resilient we can be.
Bad times often bring out the best in people.
