sent the feelers out
To shoot the people down.
He thought the I.R.A. were dead
In dear Old Belfast town,
But when he got to Belfast
He was seriously delayed
By the Fighting First Battalion
Of the Belfast Brigade.


Glory! Glory! to Old Ireland,
Glory! Glory! to this island,
Glory to the memory of the men who fought and fell,
"No Surrender" is the war cry
Of the Belfast Brigade.
We have no costly tenders
Nor no unsecures to show,
We're at need to defend ourselves
No matter where we go,
We're out for our Republic,
To hell with every State!
"No Surrender" is the war cry
Of the Belfast Brigade.



Now the soldiers came from Hollywood
Equipped with English guns,
They've men by the thousand
Ammunition by the ton,
But when they got to Belfast
They were seriously delayed,
By the rifles and revolvers
Of the Belfast Brigade.


There you go Boddington.

What is this 20 questions



Seems I got too carried away with my "Girlfriend" thread.

The sheriff of Apolyton has put a stop to it all. Just when I had something crushing to say to Spec.

Suppose I will just have to go back to my day job.

Here you go Ming(er) heres another scalp for your collection.

Oh and just on a point of interest how long would a ban last for in this establishment of yours.

I would have thought that this one would be in the bin by now.

As long as i don`t go out confused with a 19 year old northern student i can live with it.



Still its been a laugh while it lasted, a bit like greeces chances in the world cup

But when they got to Belfast

Oh, I'm just reclining back and watching the "Who's logged in" readout at Counterglow record that "Spinkman" has left, followed shortly after by your posts appearing here. If you're that desperate for attention in whatever form, why not try wandering through the streets of Aberystwyth whilst abusing yourself?

Okay, as a relative newbie, I'm trying to figure out the mythology of OT. 1Top Down is Robin Hood. They are the same as Stewert Spink who was permabanned a while ago along with somebody else. Stewert Spink was Infatuation who became Boddinton's? I'm all kinds of confused. That's just the deal as far as I can guess it.

Some people take this whole thing (and themselves) to seriously and that ussually when they get all upset and start to throw their toys out of the pram.

"The Brave British forces sailed eight thousand miles to rescue the newly enslaved people of the Falklands who cried out to be to their mother country to be freed from the clutches of the neo-fascist forces of Buenos Aires."

Ugh, yeah, whatever... brave... you fought a war against children.

"The answer was immediate and sure, "Worry not, we are coming"."

Yeah, I don´t remember any protests in Britain, nope, none at all...

"Showing the dash and bravery rightly attributed to them the elite forces of Britain swept the incompetent third world forces aside"

If you think killing an army of children is dashly, gallant and brave...

"Britain has a fine tradition of sail the seas and beating the Cr*p out of some of the worlds more inferior peoples (the Germans for instance). So it should be no suprise to anyone when a disorganised rable of beige savages gets their asses kicked.
You will not see them come back in a hurry"

*COUGH*SHEFFIELD*COUGH*SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR SHIPS*COUGH*



"Though I feel that it is my patriotic duty to point out the bravery of our forces and the sheer inferiority of yours from top to bottom."

Of course our forces were inferior, the bulk were 18 year old school children just fresh out of school. Some big victory for Britannia...

"I don't want to have to embarrass you by pointing out how 25 sea harriers defeated your whole airforce and how your ground troops most dangerous weapon was what they carried around in their pants."

25 sea harriers got the airforce on ground? This is laughable... you got the Pucaras, turbo prop planes, but the Mirages and Super Etendards lasted most of the war... And hang on, the British actually had to develop a whole new strategy with their harriers in order to outdo the Argentine fighter pilots in dog fights, yeah, I remember that...

"Well we will just have to take your word for it as they never showed up."

The Belgrano was sunk by a rogue submarine outside of Thatcher´s exclusion zone... wonderful...

Bugs, I have read that the British harrier pilots had to develop a new strategy to outdo the Argentine fighters.

"Actually David, that's not true. The USA provided no help to Britain whatsoever during the Falklands conflict, indeed Reagan (despite his close relationship with Thatcher) did not want to see the conflict at all. In fact, from his inaction you'd have thought that the Argentines were his ally. Not that he had a track record of supporting South American dictators or anything..."

Give me a break Iain, he was assisting the UK... It would have been nice to see him brandishing the Monroe Doctrine telling Maggie Thatcher to piss off.
