That so much sounds like Credulous and me!!  8-)  :roll:

Just kidding. Is all fun and games!

[Witt]

Well, you are German and I am Italian, of course those English need a lesson in modern warfare. They think every battle  can be won with a Longbow!

[Elrood]

@wittmann:

Well, you are German and I am Italian, of course those English need a lesson in modern warfare. They think every battle  can be won with a Longbow!

Well this was somewhat later exchanged by: “give these colonial auxiliaries a gun and let em fight our war, while we enjoy this nice cuo o’earl grey”  :evil:

meanwhile in a kids birthday party in Germany:

[Private-Panic]

So what do the Italians think a battle can be won with? Is that based on any experience? :wink:

[Witt]

How did the shopping go, old man?

[Private-Panic]

Nearly all done, thanks witt. Some of us don’t leave these dreadful tasks to our other halves!

[Witt]

You ever seen Goodfellas? It is like that. She says she needs to go shopping and I ask how much does she need and she shows me, with her  hand.
I buy the food.

[Elrood]

@Private:

Good one!  :lol:

I guess our Italian Wittmann would have to go back to the time when Rome defeated Carthage…  :wink:

Goodfellas was with large denomination notes, not small change!

@Elrood:

Actually Rome defeated the rest of Italy first! :-D

Sorry I’m being a bit rubbish at taking my go at the moment. Work is always manic in the run up to Christmas.
