A tru blu Aussie would have kicked the Frog in the nuts while he was laying down.

No you kick them in the head. Once they are down, you don't want them to get up.

Land a sucker punch or a lucky punch that 'shakes the brain'........and it doesn't matter how hard you are.....you're out like a light.

Watch the video from Patong brawl in another thread.

Short black American knocked off by a hulk, falling down like a sack of rice.

Well makes sense to me. If you are in an 'after pub fight' and you get a lucky punch in that knocks someone down, you don't want them to get up as they then may knock you down.

When we stormed the beaches on D Day to liberate their country there wasn't a Frenchman to be seen.

Someone needs a history lesson. I’ll leave you to look up why French troops weren’t in the vanguard on DDay.

Just out of general interest............

Sigh, ok let’s delve a little deeper.

 

No one is disputing that French troops weren’t particularly involved in D Day. The issue is…why.

 

The general inference that has been made in this thread is that it was because they were “scared” to take it to the Germans. A little digging reveals the issue was actually picking the best type of troops for the type of endeavor being undertaken. It’s also documented that De Gaulle argued hard for French troops to be in the vanguard because he didn’t want it to appear that France wasn’t involved in liberating their own country. However Ike over ruled him.

 

Sometimes generalities are useful, but often details matter

 

 

French troops did not participate in the main D-Day landings because of 

a lack of battle-ready units, strained trust between the Free French leadership and the Allies, and a focus on other theaters of war. While the Free French army was the fourth largest Allied force, the majority of its battle-hardened soldiers were already engaged in campaigns in North Africa and Italy. The D-Day landing was a highly integrated operation that required troops trained specifically for amphibious assault, which most French units were not.

I just had to start laughing.The truth is that brits is known for bad language (f...words all the time)They also known for smelling bodys because they almost never shower.Also know for pickup figths around Thailand.The 300 pounds teethless is not a tourist..he is a hooligan.I sat in bar once and a guy from UK tried to provoke a figth with me.. i didn't reply him at all.Well..after a while 5-6 thais passed where he sat and he started screaming for them too.

Standed up with his wery fat body and invited them for a figth.He learned fast that he provoked the wrong people.They jumped on him..draged him outside to the street and beated the s...out of him.I hope he learned his lesson.

.?    You two. 🙂

In another life I was a compositor and one of our skills was visual letter spacing. To my trained (or pedantic) eye the question mark always appears to be too close to the preceding character so I insert a full point.

 

Sorry about that.
