I don't know this one I think. Generally they are pretty the same style as Polish so I don't know usually which are which, I didn't look on that when I was young...
But one friend told me about a cartoon about a "greasy sweater". that was nice...
Other Czech cartoons... I guess Wodnik Szuwarek was Czech too... And Rumcajs... oh, all those memories...

The Argentinians, despite being underpowered compared to the Brits, did manage to sink a limey ship though?

Actually, the brits were terribly outnumbered.

In planes, men, and weapons. But they were much better fighting men than the argentinians ever were.

Add a dash of incompetent Argentine commander, an' hocus pocus, Brittish Victory.

I don't remember figures, but the strike force the brits sent was outnumbered 3 to 1.

And the Limeys haven't had much of an army since WW2.

That is why Britain used it brains and got others to help, rather than thinking they were the dog's bollocks and taking the whole world on (virtually) by itself.

And England never surrendered to Germany, that is true.

I think we should have another war, just to end this rivalry

I've been registered since May 2001. That's gotta count for sumthin'.


Paiktis, the Brits had to fight the japanese, too. Of course, they had bigger fish to fry than losing their eastern holdings. The ruskies joined in when japan was on its last legs. So then we got the Korean War.

They were bad mother****ers yes.

But still it was one Great Power against the other (you).

I bet if Greece was the size of Britain we could have taken them on all by ourselves. After all we stopped a country 6 times larger than us.
