No, we British would say it was the "Fuck-in' dogs bollocks, mate!"

Good stuff. I love the way you guys speak. Especially your women. I remember when I was dating this girl named Jade. She lived in Little Stoke (i probably butchered the spelling, please forgive me) But anyhow when she spoke it was such a turn on. Too bad it was too expensive to fly every 2 weeks to England from Germany to see her.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Not heard the Cornish accent then Adler?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

No proabably not.

 

[plan_D]

Oh god, all the Jades I know are dirty ho bags...skag is more important than water to them...I hate them, "Got 20 p mate"..."No I haven't so FUCK OFF!"

 

[cheddar cheese]

Youre very lucky then...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Naw she was a great gal.

 

[plan_D]

I'm sure she was, it's just that name...Jade...also girls named Chelsea...the vast majority are skag rats.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

and there's nothing wrong with the cornish accent.....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I never said there was.

 

[plan_D]

Oh! Your sig reminds me, lanc. I saw this 'documentary' on great battleships the other day on UKTV History...and it said the USS...erm, Iowa? (Was there an Iowa in the Iowa class?)...I think it was USS Iowa...sank the Tirpitz in the atlantic in a one on one duel.

But then, the SAME programme claimed the H.M.S Conqueror fired two torps at the Bel Grano (Sp?) in the Falklands and both hit, when in FACT they fired three and the first missed.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Bloody Hell

 

[plan_D]

Yeah, it also claimed Admiral Marner (was it Marner, began with M anyway) of the US Navy created the idea that Navies were the first line of defence...not like the Royal Navy had been known as Britains' first line of defence for centuries or anything.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Woah what kind of show was this. The Tirpitz was not sunk by a US ship.

In late September 1943, a British midget submarine raid planted explosives near Tirpitz, causing serious shock damage when they exploded. In February 1944, while she was under repair, the German battleship was the target of a raid by Soviet bombers that produced one near-miss. In early April, as her repairs were completing, Tirpitz was attacked by British carrier-based planes, receiving several hits and serious damage and casualties. Further repairs lasted until June, and she was again attacked by British planes in July and August, though the resulting damage was not serious. In mid-September, she was hit in the bow by very heavy bombs dropped by Royal Air Force heavy bombers. Moved to Tromsø in October, she was the target of further raids. Finally, on 12 November, Tirpitz was hit and near-missed by several very heavy bombs, causing massive damage. She listed heavily, suffered an ammunition explosion and rolled over. Her wreck was largely scrapped in place after the war.

Stupid or what....

 

[plan_D]

I know how the Tirpitz was sunk, that's why I mentioned the crap 'documentary' it was Lancs with 13, 200 lb Tallboys that sunk it.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah I agree, must have been directed by an American.

 

[plan_D]

Well, it was a lot in Americas favour. The only good thing was the footage, it has some sweet footage of the Iowa and New Jersey. Also a few good ones of the Bismarck, plus some World War I footage from Jutland.

No I was not saying that you said it was sunk by an American ship, I was wondering what kind of show it was to say that.

 

[plan_D]

It was a, as we British put it, a dog wank show. Yeah, it said the USS Iowa sank it while it was raiding ships in the Atlantic.

A) The Tirpitz never left the North Sea because the Royal Commandos blew up St. Nazaire
B) The British blew up the Tirpitz
C) NO!
