Ditto the autobahn would suffer from the lack of soldiers breaking the sound barrier 'because they can'.</p> <p>Just a thought. I am sure that theme could be built upon, to include prostitutes &amp; stuff. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=57496#post-166746 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 10:06:29 +0000 sigmund 166746@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Harking back to an earlier war, perhaps we’re there to protect the Russians from the French? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=57496#post-166741 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:54:36 +0000 Sinnick 166741@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Whereas I fully understand why we're still in Sausageland, there's more than a little irony that we're still occupying Germany to prevent their imperialist intentions.</p> <p>Maybe our withdrawal coincidences with Merkel helping out Greece, and plans for Italy and Poland.

And in his head. “We should remain there for a thousand years.” </p> <p>However, this attitude has itself come under fire from Mr Evans’ local branch of the Royal British Legion where a spokesman said this morning “Well yes, old George has got a bee in his bonnet about Germany and his ‘thousand years’ idea is clearly ridiculous. But we should probably stay there until the war is over. Or at least until Hitler is dead.”</p> <p>Jokes welcome </p>
