Even better  ;D

Do you have insulated overalls?  I have worked outside many, many years and won't leave the house for work in winter without them, and always, always wear a hat.  You won't believe how toasty -10 can be

I wear a heavy coat and a heavy sweater with a T-Shirt and a button down shirt and I sweat a lot out there during the winter. :P

Sweating isn't good.  Then when you stop moving the sweat ends up chilling you.  Wear a white cotton t-shirt against your skin, then a thermal shirt the wicks the moisture away from your body, and then a wool sweater.  Wet wool will still keep you warm, man made fibers won't  ;)

Of course not. It's a highly unpleasant sensation. Anytime I have one, I often feel like doing nothing; it just knocks me out.

Well, you can expect me to reveal all  ::)  ... well my insights / knowledge ?


It's obviously aimed at Hitler.  For some people, Nazism / that era is synonymous with the German race as a whole . In other words .... the entire German race were bad guys. Germany lost, the Allies (USA, UK etc; ... won !)

The Germans might argue (not totally without justification ? )  :-[ that the UK had achieved very little since 'winning' the war .... so .... they LOVE to harp on about this ! When I say little .... well, we beat Germany in the 1966 World Cup .... but .... not a great deal to crow about after that .....  :-[

The German economy boomed .... England was in the doldrums for many years ....


So .... that episode ... probably  was embarrassing in the sense that the UK still seemed to be harping on about 'winning the war' ... (albeit with a 'slight' assist from the good ol' US of A  ;) ). Cleese says "Well ....... YOU started it"  (referring to the war). He probably represents the English man who wants to reflect on 'old glories' ?  :-\\

Interestingly,  :-\\  even as late as 1996 ....... a lot of the UK tabloids .... were still depicting their clash in the Euro 96 soccer competition as a clash of the old enemy ..... with the likes of local soccer heroes ... Stuart Pearce .... and Paul Gascoine (tell me if I'm wrong, Phil) ... depicted on the newspaper's front page .... wearing helmets of soldiers who might've appeared in the trenches of World War 1 !

I found the picture comical /amusing .... but other's might not have ?  For the record, Germany had the last laugh, beating England in that encounter !

Well, even when I was 24 ... 24 and there's so much more (Neil Young .... well, he WAS) ... even then, I was starting to age myself in advance. However, even though they say 'age is just a number' .... I think most 18 -30 year olds look at 40 as old (as did I when in that group). So, no matter what you try to tell yourself, if you want a younger woman .... you can't help feeling a little bit over the hill / that you probably won't fit in with her group ?

Indeed ! Frank Zappa must've been a real odd ball 'Moon Unit' 'Diva Thin Muffin' and 'Dweezil' for 3 of his kids ! How they didn't put a bullet to him when they were old enough, is beyond me !  :D

Hi ^ and Philip.

Wayne...here is a parody I wrote to Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence"

http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=31303.315
...and this only comes up with the thread.

If you posted as http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=31303.msg1574279#msg1574279

It would take you straight the to reply in question

Philip, how do you come up with that link that leads directly to the post?  I asked others, but to no avail.

Philip, you got some splanin' to do! :D



Actually, I believe that when you go to the list of threads in any particular board (for example, Playful Penguin Place), there is a little icon at the right hand side of each thread name (under the column where it says "Last post").

Philip, how do you come up with that link that leads directly to the post?  I asked others, but to no avail.

Easier still ..... just right click on it ( the desired link ..... and just choose 'copy link location' ) ... well, that's what it's called in 'Firefox' ... may be a little different in 'Explorer'  ? It achieves the same result !
