Good luck ever finding me.

I live in southern Spain where only me Mar and Dar know me address.

Not known to the Spanish authorities, not disclosed on me work contract.

Nowt sinister about it like I just refuse to pay Spanish tax when I get taxed £600 in Gibraltar each month anyway.

So aye I’ll sit back and relax with a pint of Cruzcampo I reckon.

As someone who lives in France I have to say that your name should be clueless man as you obviously have surrendered to the ill informed rhetoric about both world wars. I attended the armistice day gathering at our local war memorial. The major focus was on the children attending and having them understand what the names on the memorial meant. Read up about Verdun, find out who held back the Germans whilst we British escaped at Dunkirk, study what happened to the resistance if and when they were captured and ask yourself if you would have had the balls to do what they did. Or maybe you wouldn't have put up much of a fight anyway

Its the thought that counts.

I found it very moving to see a message to all the animals the died in the war.

Watching world war 1 & 2 on the news wasn't possible - I honestly don't think there will be a world war 3 not on the scale of the first 2 wars.


I didn't know you were a boxer mate.

I loved watching the Falklands war unfold on the telly. It was dead exciting - are we going to win or lose? The gulf wars didn’t have the same excitement, cos they were a foregone conclusion (actually, so was most of WW2 but anyway...)
I believe current thinking is that WW3 would be a conventional war up until the moment when someone knew they could no longer win. Then the question would be whether those in power would be prepared to surrender and try to broker a peace deal. Nobody wants MAD, and history tells us that the losers of wars tend to end up doing ok in the long run. Countries carry on, it’s the leaders who don’t. Would life be a whole lot different for Joe public living under the rule of the victors? If the nazis has won, how much different would life in 2018 be? Not great if you were a Jew I suppose, but for the rest of us?
