Good Morning Roots. How's you, beside the self inflicted hangover?

But I might get to make an inappropriate comment to either Les Dennis or Pamela Anderson.

I have absolutely no idea what you're on about. One of the best things about having lived alone for the past few years is that I am blissfully ignorant of the goings-on in 'The Square' or 'The Street' - and I have not seen a single 'person' being 'voted off' by anyone for fucking ages.

Ze Jewss.
They stirred up anti-patriotic feelings amongst Germans during* and immediately after WWI and their secret domination of the world's finances kept decent, upstanding Germans in a monetary stranglehold until it was broken by the triumph of the will and the natural superiority of the Aryan bloodline.

That's what I heard, anyway.

Nah, it was Hitler and his command that lost them the war
If they'd just been patient, and finished off France, then prepared themselves before going for Russia, they would have stood a much greater chance.
I've heard he would have only needed about another 6 weeks before France would fall.

Sorry old boy, 'cheeky Monty' is 'in da house' today.
Germany was never going to win the war at any point - this is something that has only become clear to me in the past year.

They never had the resources to back up their aggressive expansion, itself driven by the need to acquire the resources of their target countries. Their loss of the so-called Battle of Britain was a foregone conclusion: they couldn’t afford the fuel or bullets to compete. It’s worth bearing in mind that Germany was completely bankrupt and without assets in the 30s: it is impossible to try to take on the world in a war when you cannot afford to shoot back. If you read the communiqués from the German army to the government (especially the Luftwaffe’s) you can see the despair they felt at being forced into ludicrous Light Brigade-esque suicide attacks again and again simply because Hitler saw consolidation and/or tactical retreat as cowardice and taking on impossible odds at severe risk of massive casualties as ‘heroic’.

Once he (a mediocre foot soldier with zero tactical knowledge) assumed strategic command of the German military they were completely fucked. It pains me to admit he was a complete knob-end.

Like at Stalingrad, when they were trapped?
For my History A Level, my individual study was on the Battle Of Stalingrad. Makes me realise how much cooler the Russians ever were than the Germans. Fighting off ludicrous number of troops with few weapons, fucking fantastic.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 10:01, Reply)

Failure at Stalingrad was due to several factors
1) weather (did for Napoleon too)
2) poor resources (tanks that weren't suitable for the terrain as well as lack of air cover etc)
3) shit tactics - primarily the fact that they should not have been anywhere near there at that point, let alone fighting in the manner in which they were forced to

I blame the girl who came to pole class last night for my despair
she already attends another class and has a pole at home and she pretty much handed my ass to me. I can't teach her when she can do things I can't, so now I feel all full of fail. And my back hurts from trying to compete with her.

Can you send for a waaaambulance please Roota?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Tue 14 Dec 2010, 8:56, Reply)

I really don't know
she sent me a message on facebook asking about my class, saying she attends one but is looking for another one. The teacher at her other class is at around the same level as me so maybe she was hoping that I would be better. I guess I'll know if she turns up again. I feel like I've failed her though, she must have thought I was a bit rubbish. There's plenty of stuff I can tell her how to do, I just can't demonstrate it all
