you love that word dont you imbecile . . . it is a pretty cool word, do some more research mate then say that im wrong on a number of obvious points.
And btw what points are they then?
Perhaps you should start with English. then learn French?
Cheeky! 
As a painfully new member who posted in another thread merely to attract the stunning intellect of young comradesinarms to a centre of learning where his currently rudimentary yet promising buds of inspired ignorance might blossom into profound knowledge, perhaps you will forgive me for suggesting that the classical allusions in his postings have been rather too subtle for some who lack a classical education.
I refer, of course, to the seemingly careless degradation of hopefully to hopfully at #89.
Clearly these are the first and second (lesser intellects might say the first two, which is a logical impossibility) steps in a progression to the Hoplites, the classical Greek warriors.
When one grasps the intellectual sophistication and exquisite subtlety of these hopping progressions, one realises that comradeinarms addresses us in neither English nor French.
It is, as he so cunningly intends from his position of intellectual arrogance, all Greek to us.
The points are many and varied.
ie Blitzkreig, who invented it, who used it, was it ever taken on by the allies, who invaded Poland as the aggressor, what the full implications of the German “peace” offers were (you will find they were not peace offers at all), the fighting to the last man and why Paulus was promoted.
Then we could go on to your decidely dodgey beliefs that Hitler was “OK” and that his various exterminations can be justified if you look at tehm from the right angle.
Someone’s having some fun here!
I am miffed, but shall refrain from responding with a mighty miff which shall miff the miffers mightily.
Miff leads to muff, and in no time one has exactly the situation which occurred when Dr Spooner spied a punt upon the Cam.
We in the common room have little fun.
Exercising one’s intellect is the serious business of intellectual survival, and rather wearing.
Where would a man be without a brain?
One might merely address such questons to comradeinarms, for answers of such translucence as bestride the ages.
I smell a Walt. You’re talking like someone from a certain lower institute of learning on the Thames!
Test:
- What end of the punt do you punt from on the Cam?
- What is the Granta?
- How many bridges do you climb when punting to Grantchester the night before Suicide Sunday?
IIRC the Royal Astronomical Society placed an ad for a competition, in the Times, allowing six months for someone to come up with a formula which came to be known as ‘Differential Calculus’. Newton solved the problem overnight and submitted it unsigned.
The response was something like: “We recognize the ‘Master’ by his signature!”
But it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve been blinded by the bovine slippery stuff.
A walt is a wanker wannabe.
I am a piss taker, of ancient age.
Test me not with with thy trivial quibbles, for the answers are well known.
For an engineer, here’s a couple of simple questions.
Which bridge failed harmonically?
Name three (or two) bridges that aren’t like it and haven’t failed.
Perhaps not, my son, but you’ve got the drift about the cattle expulsion. And the Master thingy.
Were it that lesser mortals had your insight, for I have come among you to rid you of comradeinarms.
Sussed that yesterday when sipping the Chardonnay! :mrgreen:
Yeah, well, apparently I’ve got rid of the bugger http://www.ww2incolor.com/forum/showthread.php?p=118083#post118083
So what am I supposed to yap about now?
Accountants sucking up plonk?
That’s got to be riveting.
Sorry for interrupting the joyful chat, but I am here to remember this part of the Rules For Members:
You are only allowed one account.
Thanks for your attention, let the chat continue.
So show me how to run two.
One?..he had four last I counted!!
I wasn’t commenting on his “classical knowledge,” just his rudimentary, almost unreadable syntax. I indeed see your attraction to him…

How’s that troll going?
Here’s a hint, it’s only a good troll if others’ find it funny. Your own LOLZ don’t count. I’d give it a C-…
Here’s some pointers, amateur: http://hitchworld1969.com/CIRCLEofTRUST/forums.cgi?forum=8
