Did You See..............

Last night....THursday 20th, BBC2, Horizon..........
No wonder Emer is so insular,

1985, one of the bigest catastrophe in Anmerican history happened in the mid states.
This almost brought down one of the largest multi global companies in the world and tore the states apart. The company concerned producing a truly global product which can be purchased in most if not all countries of the world. People cried , ripped thair hair out, called their congressman, and marched in protest, in fact america was in termoil......for what?


Coca Cola changed the recipe of Coke and the states went wild....Having spent multi millions on product surveys, secret techniques of brewing the replacement, publicity and advertising .... only to go back to the original drink some 18 weeks later because they got it wrong?!

... I guess that at the time the rest of the world was too uninteresting!

Mike,

This is, surely, quite natural. In the 70's I was on exercise in Sardinia attached to an Italian "force". As we decamped onto the beach head we saw the Yanks landing a few K away. Onto the beach came a (sort of) JCB fork lift with a Coke machine on it's forks???

The mind boggles.

Of course, the Italians were absolutely the most unprofessional bunch of soldiers you could imagine. The only mitigating thing was that their 24hr ration packs contained a 1/4 bottle of brandy!!! :bday:

For the life of me I just can't believe the Italians have any genetic links to the Romans

Like the man said.........'Changing Coke, why thats unamerican!!!!!'

What a contribution to human culture, Coke, Big Macs, Kentucky, wierd 'football', WWF, plastic surgery and Disney.....................

any more??!!!!!!!!!

[Sisyphus]

Well, as I was reminded today: the fantastic contribution the US made to the liberation of Europe. Er, sorry, how they won the war in Europe.

US dead <150,000 Russian dead > 20,000,000

How sad that the sacrifice was all but forgotten due to that Sh**head Stalin!!

Not sure about the queueing thing, I remember when Asda first opened in Guz, I left the missus in a 'line-up' (easier to spell, and I am a Canadian now!), whilst I went to grab that one thing she had forgotten to put in the trolley. On return she pointed to a guy who had barged in front of her in my absence.... I just leant over to him and suggested that if he had any breakables in his trolley he would do well to remove them as I was about to tip it over... He got the message!

Regards,

Dave B.

Yeah when they changed the coke it was a controversey, but if they ever change Budwieser we will burn the Earth. Yes I do Like your rat packs,Ill trade My M.R.E.'sanytime. And sissy go back to pushin your rock I can suck your cock with that shit. My grand father died helpin your people. Any way you might be my bastard cousin.Hahahaha. Some of his old buddies have told the family that British Women were particularly scathing about his tiny penis, a trait he has surely passed down thru his bloodlines, along with a large mouth.

[harry hackedoff]

There, that post looks much better now. After a "changing rooms" style make-over.
Watch it Leroy, banter is one thing, but don`t start becoming offensive. Y`hear?
Sempers,
Aye, Harry

[dave barrett]

How the hell did you manage that Harry, are you one of these Jedi people that Rob was on about??

More importantly can you do it again, only this time I think you should concentrate 'the force' on leroy's erstwhile god... George Dubya....

THERE IS NO OIL IN IRAQ

That should do for starters!

If a mere mortal can comment, it might have been a more impressive display of your power to make your (necessary) corrections with a red pen, leaving the original text for all to see. I fear with time zones quite a few of our UK oppo's may have missed the thrust of leroy's original wick, sorry I mean wit..

Regards,

Dave B.

[harry hackedoff]

I`m sure they can get the gist, Dave Old Elmer must`ve had a few too many bottles of Bud(probably at least three )
Aye,

[El Prez]

Harry, it might be worthwhile enquiring about a ghostly 'Whhhooooo' noise when we edit offensive posts, as in Caspar, or Iain Duncan Smith.
Q) Are you the leader of the Conservative Party?
A) Whhhhhooooooo! :puppydogeyes:

[harry hackedoff]

Shhhh, you`re not supposed to say that

[El Prez]

You know that I admire you deeply as a person and value you as a friend, but have I ever told you that I want to have your babies?

This sort of thing Aye, Harry, Parry
Isn`t that Japanese, Rob? F^$£ed if I know, w £$%^&s, all of them

[leroy8541]

I'm not mad, I'm not mad. Actually thats a pretty good one I guess I deserved that also. I'm pretty childish when I've drank my 3 budweisers. Looks to me that one of the moderators is pretty much childish all the time. You coulda just deleted the post, and took it to pm like Mr. Parry did. No prob though.

[harry hackedoff]

Fair enough, Leroy,
No probs here Although Parry might agree with you
Aye
