  • hi PC! I hope you are well and still putting the nunchucks to the numbskulls here that so thoroughly deserve it. I admire your energy and dedication towards getting people to think, even if they are liberal and (obviously) confused.

    I hope you have a great summer coming up.
    Thanks for the rep......t'is sad but a responsible person (to themselves and their family) can find a way to benefit from the madness of others. Cynical but effective....
    Thanks for the rep PC (unfortunate initials). Flood the country with low educated low skilled low pay workers, what could go wrong?
    Some of these idiots need to be taken to Bklyn for an old time BLANKET party! Thanks again, PC!
    Thank you for the rep....

    Yes, the story is real. I picked it up on Google's UK news service yesterday; it was reported in several papers but the WSJ story was most concise. I've made several visits to The UK's "National Railway Museum" in York and found that messing things up like that is not as infrequent as one might think. It once happened with London's underground system when they bought trains with more cars to deal with overcrowding. It started off OK because of the line on which they were to be used. But then they also shifted some to another line where the platforms were shorter. Result, passengers for those stations had to use the first 7 (I think was the number) of the 9 car trains as the last two would be inside the tunnel and outside the station when the train stopped.
    Yes, Lamb's is one of the most readable biographies. There is a newer one that go's into much more depth called "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World" by Weatherford. I read it back in 2006 or thereabout and it is quite good. Thank you for the rep, and I do agree in that first year General Winter saved the Soviets.
    Thanks for the rep, darling. It is so seldom that we get to give each other positive rep.
