  lets see ....England is England

  Britain is England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland or is that the UK when lumped together..

  the Republic of Ireland is seperate ?

  Britain is the island on which England, Scotland and Wales are to be found. The term "UK" is actually short for "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

  Thing is, the Soviets did most during WW2, miles more than anyone.

  Re the war. My dad flew 43 missions over Germany. When the USA eventually decided to lend a hand (unlike us who jumped into Iraq straight away, we don't keep our friends waiting 2 years, but hell, we English are an extremely honourable bunch), we would bomb by night, the Americans by day. The forces of the UK and the USA who were fighting were about equal at the end of the war.

  No Solution Required.

  my nearest and dearest told me something a few weeks back.

  actually, i think i always knew what she told me, it just helped me clarify things somewhat.

  she says that when she tells me about something that has gone wrong with her life, she isn't looking for me to necessarily find a solution.

  She says that when she tells me about something that has gone wrong with her life, she isn't looking for me to necessarily find a solution. She just wants to tell me about it. She says that men always try to find solutions to everything, then they get pissy if they can't find a solution, or even pissier if the lady won't accept the solution being offered. She says women just want to tell, they're not asking for men to DO SOMETHING.

  So there ya go, listen but don't do.

  Personally I have no objections to gun ownership for those who meet some stringent requirements. The UK gun laws are phenomally strict. You can't even buy shotgun cartridges without producing a licence.

  I just saw a post put up by Ozzie himself, and now it's gone! He was saying that he's making a good recovery, although he's got quite a way to go.

  I like guns. I like the feel of them. I like the fine engineering too. I enjoy shooting clays or skeet with a shotgun. So yeah..I guess that I understand why some folk enjoy owning or collecting firearms.

  Re the USA Second Amendment though. When they spoke about the right of the people to bear arms, weren't they talking about muskets and rifles back then? Someone carrying a rifle or musket is obviously out hunting or off to fight a war somewhere. You cant easily conceal a rifle on your person. You certainly couldn't conceal a musket back at the time of the second amendment's being written.

  It seems to me that the original purpose of the second amendment bears no relation to the way it is interpreted today. Nowadays, the right to bear arms seems to be all about carrying a concealed handgun about your person. Surely that's just a mockery of the amendments original intentions?

  Isn't it hight time that the second amendment was amended?
