With Blair’s negotiation skills the chances are that we will foot most of the bill SPUGGIE J.

If I were a psychiatrist and I’m not, and I would be thinking in terms of “delusions of grandeur” Wynonie Harris.

For more years than I can remember I have always considered that the biggest threat to world peace has never been the old USSR but the USA and I have no reason to change my view today. So I’m in agreement with you jimmyjim. Like you I’ve had a taste of working with the Yanks during my 13 years in the Royal Navy and apart from their accommodation and perks, which were far superior to ours they couldn’t hold a candle to us.

Yes I did hear about the final payment that we made to the yanks for helping us out in WWII. They helped all right but they charged us for clapped out war ships and every ounce of flour or gunpowder, we paid for. They may have lost ships for transporting the stuff over here but we never got a refund. We had to pay again for the next lot. In fact the only country in the world that came out of WWII better off than they went into it was the USA.
