    Allied press reports of Italian military prowess in the Second World War were almost always dismissive. This is primarily the result of British wartime propaganda produced when the Italian 10th Army was destroyed by significantly smaller British forces during the early phase of the North African Campaign.[49]

    So it was nothing to do with the fact that the Italian army was destroyed by significantly smaller forces?

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                What happens when a blond leaves Belgium for France?
                The average IQ of both countries goes up.



                When God created the world, he made France the most beautiful country. Inspiring mountains, rolling hills, limpid lakes, fantastic beaches, great forests, coastlines that produce wonderful abundant sea-food and a fantastic climate so that with ease, fine wines and fabulous cheeses can be made.

                And he looked at what he'd made, and pronounced it perfect.

                So, to make up for it, he invented the French.



                Jean-Paul Sartre said "Hell is other people". But then, all his mates were French. ( Red Dwarf ).
                Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    I've been staying in Annemasse just over the Swiss border and I have to admit this little bit of France is not good enough to even be described as rubbish. If you look up and see the mountains you realise that this place would be stunning if the town wasn't here. I arrive at about 10pm each Sunday night and there is no public transport. There are no taxis ever at the taxi rank. If you call a taxi they charge you from where they were to the point of pickup - how stupid is that! So I walk the mile or so from the border. A couple of weeks ago I saw a bloke being bundled into a cop car (stick on blue light and they wore big kicking boots). One of them looked like he was strangling the guy. Last week some drunk tried to start a fight with me as I made my way through this shanty town. The local restraunts are rubbish and beer is expensive. I paid 5 euro for a large beer this week that I simply could not drink - it was disgusting. Their idea of a large beer is a lrage glass with the same volume of liquid as a small beer and the rest made up of froth. The bread they sell in the supermarket needs to be eaten by somebody equipped with tungsten coated teeth it's that tough. The bus drivers are ******* and the hotels on offer cost a lot but give you very little - I have yet to find one which gives a reasonable speed. All I'm after is getting my skype to work!. All in all it is safe to say I am not a fan - and I live in rochdale so that tells you how bad this scabby dump is.
                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!

                      Say what you like about the French - I wish our populace took to the streets as easily as their gallic counterparts do.
