[St Charles Owl]

I'm (sort of) looking forward to having a Satdi off sport sick of the missis bloody moaning about it   I'm not sure about picking up the Winter dog shit out of the garden though  

and the French have never forgiven the Irish for helping us to rescue them from the Germans in two consecutive World Wars  

I thought it was the Yanks that rescued us and the Frogs twice!

On both occasions it took them three years to decide whose side they were on   Waiting to see which way the wind was blowing IMO   If Adolf hadn't been so hasty and waited for the spring he'd have taken St. Petersburg and Moscow and then the yanks would have protected the dollar and gone in on his side 

Slightly revised history!!   It was the Japanese that woke up the US in December 1940 and they declared war on Japan and Germany later that month, so it was only a year after it started in Europe!!  And I know all that because I saw Ben Afleck on tv when he was a fighter pilot in 1940 fighting the Japs!!
