Not when it was 15.09 when he posted, no.

He may well have posted in the afternoon but he said that he was drinking "this morning"

I've done a minutes research on Google and can find no evidence of this.

The Soviets killed 4 out of 5 German military deaths.

The US mainly focused upon the Japs.

Don't get me wrong Geezer, I'm a big US fan but the US public was against entering both WW1 and WW2, it was their elite class who decided they enter it....how they entered WW1 was particularly dodgey.

Thanks for the history lesson but you've completely missed the point.

 


Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I recalled that wrong - it was the New York World paper.

I remember asking one of my relatives why it was called the ' World Series ' and that was the answer, although apparently that is disputed !

Listen chaps, what's the big deal? It was hot yesterday, I was reading a book. I had A beer. I bet I wasn't the only one. But, sorry, I don't know what time I opened the bottle.

And on the subject of America being the good guys, I see that they're now buying 500m Covid jabs to send to 92 countries over the next 2 years.

Just think if Mr Strauss, famous creator of denim work trousers, had been called Nigel instead of Levi, we'd all be pulling on our Nigels. Not quite the same ring to it eh?

Have a nice day everyone.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

A little bit Ray Milland don't you reckon?

Thank you America for:

-Electric guitars
-Jukeboxes
-Pinball machines
and all the other funky stuff.

But, you really needn't have bothered with
the NFL. Just rugby for cissies. Can't see Alun Wynn-Jones in body armour and a crash helmet.

Or baseball. Just Rounders with a big stick instead of a sensible bat.

It’s a bit weird they have more guns, than people.

What’s not to like about a country that produces the second highest volume of CO2 in the world? Second to China which produces less than half per capita compared to the USA.

YAWN. Bore off. I'm actually amazed that you didn't claim that one of your relations Theodore J Mapletree (Born 1714 / Died 179 wasn't one of the founding fathers & who bankrolled the Pilgrim Fathers.

List of Pilgrims with known descendants
Theodore J Mapletree
John Alden.
Priscilla (Mullins) Alden.
Bartholomew Allerton.
Isaac Allerton.
Mary (Norris) Allerton.
Mary (Allerton) Cushman.
Remember (Allerton) Maverick.
Elinor Billington.
