Bairnardo Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 As harsh as it sounds; yes, I couldn't give a f**k. Good on them and it was horrible what they were forced to do, but I just don't give a f**k.Really odd opinion, picked the right thread though. In amongst the poppy and remembrance being used a tool these days for the deification of todays armed forces, it should never be forgetten was it was/should be about. They lads were literally no different to you or I. We cant even imagine the bravery or the horror it would take to leave an office job and pick up a gun, and we cant imagine it because they did it. I find it odd that you are so anti this stuff in other threads if its not because you are sickened by the b*****disation of the memory of true, actual heroes. The reason I dont care for the remembrance stuff anymore is exactly that. Its no longer about what it should be. Anyone with an ounce of sense views the British Army and its colonial, slave driving past with the contempt it deserves but the guys who fought in the two World Ward werent really the British Army were they? They were folk like us. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'm keen to give it a go. Which whisky would you recommend? The cheaper the better. I remember drinking it with one of my mates when I was about 18, i feel pretty uncomfortable talking about it to this day. It was fucking horrendous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Vodka and coke is the shittest drink combination imaginable. Was at a party in Dumfries in my youth. Only thing they had to drink was Peach Schnapps and Irn Bru. Vodka n coke is the nectar of Gods when compared to that combo. Can still taste it near 30 years on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time can you have some dirty clothes strewn about or The Sun lying on a table. Anway, Jaigermeister is the worst drink known to man. Absolutely horrific yet I always seemed to have a tray of Jaegerbombs land on my table no matter what company I kept. That's why I emigrated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Bairnardo in terms of my view of the poppy stuff nowadays and how it’s used, but the above is pathetic. Especially when coming from a workshy, lazy bum who complains mercilessly about having to do an easy admin job. Throbber is correct, you don’t know how easy you have it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once nearly bought a bottle of “Bagpipe Whisky” from a dodgy offie in Delhi but at least they had the decency to name the alcohol as being ethanol. Mmmmmmmm ethanol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am forever grateful, I tried to join up in 1990 and was knocked back due to Asthma, best thing that ever happened to me tbf. If i was alive back then in WW2, I would have been rubberstamped and probably would have died wheezing somewhere. Be happy for whatever you have, even if it seems shit right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
