Those Limeys! Plus a little Gymkhana :-)
I spent the day at the DC Factory and decided to do a little lesson on Gymkhana. Below is the original Gymkhana video.. then two lessons hosted by me about Gymkhana and the making of the video. Hope you enjoy them!

I’ve heard that coffee promotes fat. I’m not sure about that. Could be, but if you drink coffee, it should be taken black, no sugar. It’s an acquired taste, but it doesn’t take long to acquire it.
Green tea is the preferred drink. It has a similar drug effect that coffee has, but seems to be mellower. Green tea is consumed by itself, no sugar or fat content.
Avoid tap water. As a plumber/pipefitter, I know why you should avoid tap water, but that’s a long story.
Milk is pushed by doctors because they see the protein, calcium and vitamin D as being essential. I wonder if supplements are a better way to get those nutrients. Then again, I wonder if pills work.
Having watched that lesson on fructose, I’ll be reading the ingredients of bread at the supermarket. And maybe I’ll cut down the beer consumption a little, too.
FINAL words from ME to Marina ,,, difficult to translate ….
A solitary and silent tear, running down my cheek, a tear of regret – for what once was – for them nice and beautiful ,, also words once whispered to me, it tumbles, further tear down the cheek – a bit come to the cold of attic, where cold heat out and changed it to echo ,, sings of empty answers and night nearness of the soft, miss You warm with the odd nonetheless – to lie down there next to Your skin and be able to touch the heart of the cold hand – where do you live now? in the middle of heart, light and heat, you attract me to rejoice – you bring forth joy – bring sparkle to me – to want more of You, Lovely You!
I desire you, fill my heart – dare to know what is just – love You without thought and desire -I do love You for You.

***More on the Welsh-Russian Connection*** ;-)
“The town of Hughesovka, Imperial Russia, which is now Donetsk in southern Ukraine, grew up around the ironworks established there by a Welshman, John Hughes, in the 1870s. Hughes was an engineer from Merthyr Tydfil, and in 1868 he took up a concession from the Russian Imperial government – eager to develop her heavy industry – to build a metallurgical plant and rail producing factory. He formed the New Russia Company Limited to raise capital, and in the summer of 1870 he sailed to Russia with not only all the equipment necessary to establish the works, but also much of the skilled labour – a group of about a hundred ironworkers and miners mostly from south Wales. During the 1870s, blast furnaces were built, collieries and iron ore mines sunk, and brickworks and other facilities established to make the isolated works a self-sufficient industrial complex. ” :cool:

congratulation on your business idea. I got to know your site because a week end magazine here in italy talked about you. Interesting stuff. Let me suggest the word [ghetto] that has a very interesting story. The first (jewish) “ghetto” was created in Venice in 1516 as an area, closed at night, where jews could legally live. Prior to that jews were tolerated but had no rights and were periodically kicked out. The area were they were allowed to stay was known as the “getto” (soft g as jet), that is the metal foundry. Getto is a stream (in this sense really a jet) of a fluid. In this case of molten metal coming out of the smelter. At that time, most of the metal workers in Venice came from Germany and therefore tended to pronounce always the “hard g”, so “ghetto” as is pronounced today. After Venice other italian cities allowed/forced the jews go live legally in a secluded area (often in poor living conditions) and the term eventually extended to all areas were minorities live
Thanks so much, Hotforwords.
One question:
Why is the personal pronoun [I] always written with capital letter?
I had no idea Gymkhana even existed until I heard about it through HotforWords.
Having found this site and viewing all the word lessons, along with the interesting discussions within the ‘community’ here is truly a fun and educational experience! :smile:
It’s WAY more entertaining than watching Sit-Coms and WAY WAY more Educational!
Absolutely correct!!! Been saying that for 2+ years.
I’ve learned a ton from HotForWords.
Every time I pick up a penny and dime,
how can I not forget that awesome lesson.
Empathy is not what I suggested. The word is [APATHY]. As in1. absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement.
2. lack of interest in or concern for things that others find moving or exciting.

“My Boy Lollipop” hit the charts in 1964, even though it appears she lip-synced her hit, there, in that clip in 1973….in her scrumptious, little white jump suit. The thing is, in 1964, that was the depth of pop music, and into that exploded the Beatles to bring back the driving
down beat, the spirit of Chuck Berry, and the “rock group”.

I think we should finally admit that Marina has been practicing pedagogy right here at this website.
What? Everybody knew the definition of the word?
We hang teachers that teach things like “if God made apples hanging; why do we eat’em after picking?–cherry picking? – knows!!”…teach fishes to hide their eggs, too :lol: …try this—Classical guitar pedagogy—teach the teachers to the idea of thought of [taught]…good morning!!!The Byrds Eight Miles High (Remasterd) :arrow:

I never was a limey. OK? Now,and in conclusion,I just want to say that if you have to drink lime juice to be a limey,I would never want to be one. So there! And furthermore,and I am serious about this,I only want to be what I actually am-a perfectly normal human being. I could go on in definition to a more exacting meaning but that would only be so complicated that it would drive some people to distraction. And,believe me,that is one place you never want to go.
…and I thought gymkhana had to do with horseback riding!
It actually originated with horseback riding, you are correct! I had to go off of their script and it left that part out.

Marina, I loved the Limey lesson and loved your presentation of it and your attempt at the British accent. Actually, I loved your British accent. Perhaps it is not the typical accent, but, nevertheless, it was fun hearing you speak in a different accent and I thought you did great.
Accents are funny. I couldn’t do one if my life depended on it. If I had to do an accent, you would think I was a Swedish Mexican. I once worked with this guy for several months where I would have bet the bank thinking that he was French. Turns out, he was German, but came from a city near the French border.
Then would give a spicy hot massage? :???:
Would you use picante sauce instead of massage oil? :???:
In the end would role me up in the sheet and call me a ‘blanket burrito’?
These are the images that pop up in my head when I hear Swedish Mexican.
I have a weird accent even in my native language, not fitting the place when I live. Many people ask me what country I come from. The fact is that I had a heavy speech impediment in my childhood that’s been corrected but the strange pronunciation and intonation has remained in some extent. That is really funny.
Remind me what your first language is. (Just wondering if it is one I have studied.) :smile:
I have a speech impediment that only shows up when I speak Spanish. I can’t roll my “r’s”! :sad:
I am American but get accused of having an accent — in part from imitating the old Welsh immigrants in our church, then from learning their language later.
Of course Marina could tell you that when I try to speak Russian, I don’t sound anything but American! :lol:
I’ll bet you’ve never studied it: it’s Polish :)
BTW: I lerned Russian for a fer years in my primary school, but now I remember little (due to the changing curricula, in the primary school I learned English and Russian, it the secondary one – English and French + the basics of Latin, at the university – English and German, the effect is that I speak no foreign language except of my not so good English – so-so in writing, but pretty shitty in oral use), I can read or even write the Cyrillic, but very slowly. Due to similarity to Polish + what I remember, I can understand a lot of the content, if someone speaks Russian.
I must also admit that if someone speaks English with such accents (it’s a native user, a young man from Liverpool), I can only barely recognize a couple of words – in such situations I brutally understand how poor my abilities not only to speak, but even to recognize the real English speech are.
Accents are funny.
Accents may be also misleading :)
That’s a funny one fglrx :lol:
That problem even exists using the same language.
Just today, I had this problem.
I was trying to help someone who forgot his password log into their voicemail.
So, over the phone I told him; “Enter four zeros” (i.e. 0000)
After a little while, he said it wasn’t working.
I said; “what did you enter?”
He said, just what you told me; “four, zero” (i.e. 40)
Apparently, he didn’t hear the “s” in the word “zeros”
and heard, four, zero.
We had a good laugh at that one.
I seem to remeber in high school lit that they said that the British English is slightly different from American english. And that they teach British english to students in Europe. Is that why some shortwave announcers in Europe sound like Brits?
Marina, I agree with Bob below, where he said ;
I absolutely loved the video entitled: (3rd video from the top)
“HOT FOR WORDS TELLS THE STORY OF
KEN BLOCK’S GYMKHANA PROJECT”
You did an awesome job of narrating, editing and presenting that video. Absolutely excellent work and loved your presence in front of the camera.
I’d like to make a teeny tiny correction at 2:14
You said:
“… That event was at El Toro Airfield in Orange California …”
El Toro Airfield is actually in Irvine, California.
Orange is a city about 10 miles north of Irvine on the 5 Fwy.
There is also an Orange County.
The corrected narration could be done in one of two ways.
1. That event was at El Toro Airfield in Orange County, California.
- or –
2. That event was at El Toro Airfield in Irvine, California.
Great video!!!
Oooops, didn’t make the edit time.
The Airfield’s name of course is from the city of El Toro and the Airbase touches several cities, and is also known for being in or near Irvine and there is also part of the Marine Airstation in Tustin.

Art is good…my daily moment for word request—[patrol]
Jamieson “Junior” Brown (born June 12, 1952, Kirksville, Indiana) is an American country guitarist and singer from Cottonwood, Arizona.
In 1985 Junior invented a double-necked guitar, with some assistance from Michael Stevens. Junior called the instrument his ["guit-steel"]. When performing, Junior plays the guitar by standing behind it, while it rests on a small podium/music stand. The top neck on the guit-steel is a traditional 6-string guitar, while the lower neck is a full-size lapsteel guitar for slide playing. Brown has two ["guit-steels"] for recording and live work.

LONDON (AP) — The diaries of a British reporter who risked his reputation to expose the horrors of Stalin’s murderous famine in Ukraine are to go on display on Friday.
Welsh journalist Gareth Jones snuck into Ukraine in March of 1933, at the height of an artificial famine engineered by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin as part of his campaign to force peasants into collective farms. Millions starved to death between 1932 and 1933 as the Soviet secret police emptied the countryside of grain and livestock.
British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, whom Jones had once served as an aide, said shortly after his death in 1935 that the intrepid journalist might have been killed because he “knew too much of what was going on.”
{Lloyd George was also Welsh. From an etymological view, this article illustrates that if one is Welsh, one is also British. — EO}
(Stalin, BTW, was not Russian, nor even a Slav.)
correct Stalin was Georgian also many peasants in protest to collectivization simply killed off their live stock rather than turn them over to the collective

I forgot my earbuds again, but who doesn’t know where limey came from? The amazing thing about the story is that as much as decade later, some countries still didn’t know that Britain had solved the scurvy problem that sometimes killed nearly entire ship’s crews.

[Britain]
Not English, originally…nor even Welsh! :???:
Definition of British:
American: synonym for “English”;
English: English, Scots, or Welsh, emphasis on English;
Welsh: pertaining to the most excellent Brythonic Isle of the Mighty, a term stolen by English invaders;
Scottish: a term foisted upon the Scots by inferior races to the south;
Irish: spawn o’ the Divil!
:lol:
I would say it was Brussian. :smile:
Dear Martina,
For your homework, there are many. many strange British phrases:
Anti-clockwise” is a misleading term for counter-clockwise.
“Antipodian” actually refers to people from Australia. (No, it doesn’t beg the question, “Who are the Podians and why are we against therm?’) It means “other foot.”
“Arse” refers to buttocks, but they use “ass” as a word for donkey.
“Arse over elbows” is similar to “head over heels.”
They have strange names for food, such as “bangers” as a type of sausage, or “chips” as a type of deep fried potato.
Automotive terms are different, too: A “bonnet” covers the front engine of a car. We normal people call it a “hood.” For their cars, a “boot” isn’t footwear. We call it a “trunk”, here. They use the strange term, “circlip” to describe an ordinary snap ring, here.
Marina, I’d glad you learned American English, instead of the foreign languages they speak in the UK. :razz:
Seesixcm6
Y maen hw yn siarad mwy na’r Saesneg ymh Mhrydain Fawr!
(They speak more than English in Great Britain!) ;-)
Brits refer to aussies as Antipodeans, because we live on the other side of the world.
It appears to go back to when people thought that people on the other side of the world lived upside down. :smile:
Lol i love this because I get to set it straight. We say arse and ass. I would say counter clockwise is more confusing. Anti clockwise is going against (anti) rather than fighting it (counter) I have never heard of arse over elbows before. I don’t know why we have called sausages bangers. Although I do know that if a sausage has less than something like 34% meat it must be called a banger. And don’t get me started on hotdogs made of chickin And as for bonnet,now I am thinking about it, I wonder if it gets it’s name from the old hat called a bonnet and maybe the boot is called a boot bacause it is at the back. I have never heard of a circlip either.
THREE GOOD STORIES FOR MEN BY MEN
ONE
I was walking through the cemetery this morning and saw a guy crouching down
behind a tombstone. I said, “Morning.”
He said, “No, just taking a crap.”
TWO
When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realized
that God doesn’t work that way. So I stole a bike and asked Him to forgive
me.
THREE
I went to an extremely attractive female doctor today for my annual checkup.
She told me that I had to quit masturbating. I asked why and she said,
“Because I’m trying to examine you.” :mrgreen:
Hey B, :razz:
Just stopping by here to wish you a late
Happy Thanksgiving Day :smile:
I Hope your doing alright.
Later from Vrock ;-)
Hey, thanx, Vrock. Hope you had a good one, too. Keepin the women in line up there? :smile:
Yeah right, don’t know about that. It’s really funny though and I don’t know if you’ve had this happen to you but I have in the past and I’ve seen this situation with other people. When you return to single status per say your friends go out of their way to try to hook you up immediately, especially your female friends. Don’t get me wrong you never know who you might meet but geez it’s sometimes nice to just take it easy right now and just let things happen naturally. So maybe I’m not keepin some of them in
line. :mrgreen:
got this in my e-mail, I think you might find this interview entertaining. Begley Meltdown the vid is at the bottom of the page.
Oh and that time about two weeks ago when we commented to each other. I do hear what you’re saying B. ;-)
When you say we commented, are you talking about the left whining like a bunch of titty babies because everything they believe is built on sand and the person they placed all of their hopes on has no sand and can’t make a decision?(See video) Or are you talking about how I wish some of the people on here would go away forever, like they promised?(see below) ;-) Both are self-important assholes and deserve each other.
Our humble leader(LOL! :razz: ) is supposed to come on the tv Tuesday. It appears as though he has reached a conclusion about A-stan(finally) and is going to televise that fact. Since it is a little more difficult decision than what golf course he will play that day, his handlers feel it is a momentus occasion! :twisted:
No, I was referring to when you stop by to drop a line once in a while on here now. I feel the same way about that, there’s only a few that I care to talk to. There are “clicks” here too and it’s understandable not everyone is gonna talk to everyone. I don’t know if I’m making sense but It’s You, Rijk, leonard and there are others…. who have commented to me first (and that I care to try to talk to) and I’m not going to forget that. :smile:
There is one major positive thing on here though, Marina’s lessons are getting better and it looks like she’s not going to listen to YT’s suggestions. I don’t know if that was actually an issue, but it was brought up by quite a few on here.
Now about the two self-important assholes that you were talking about. Yeah I do believe a systematic takedown is happening to our country. You see, to put a new system in place you have to dismantle the old and a lot of people are going to get hurt worse then what’s happened over the last couple of years. Even SNL has caught onto him. The people of our country will be left standing there saying “What in the fuck just happened?” As far as that other dude, I’ve actually tried to find something he’s written even if it’s excerpts, No Luck, but reading his past comments (I actually try to read all the comments on here) I noticed he seems to mention his material possessions a lot, in which hey if that’s what floats his boat more power to him, I guess. :???:
… A doctor walked into a bank. Preparing to endorse a check, he pulled a rectal thermometer out of his shirt pocket and tried to write with it.
Realizing his mistake, he looked at the thermometer with annoyance and said,
“Well that’s great, just great… some asshole’s got my pen.” :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Take it easy beevee :smile: :cool:
VERY Cool videos.
I get kiddie “wanna bes” in Subarus coming after me all the time. They’re fast cars, 50-100, but around 120, their short wheelbases make them seriously unstable (which is why the WRX platform is so good for these video tricks). I get off the highway and buy a coffee- rather than “play” with idiots on public highways, especially unskilled kiddies or (around here) the testosterone-poisoned pickup truck morons with torque and no brains… like one who was compelled to chase me out of Denver late last night after I visited my upcoming book’s printing facility and saw Christmas Carol in 3-D…a format teacher would look good in also…maybe Big Daddy’s next Superbowl commercial could be in 3-D, “Big Daddy makes the internet come ALIVE”, says Marina…jiggle jiggle :-) Oh MOmmy!.
On the last empty mile to the Wyoming border last night I went “to the floor” with the V-12. I put the factory exhaust back on two days ago- replacing the “high performance” mufflers I’d been testing for a UK company- and the (quiet to meet Swiss noise standards) factory system definitely provides 10-15% faster acceleration at top end.
No 500hp Subaru toy car can keep up with 4800 hrs of wind tunnel development and 4,000 lbs of stable long wheelbase Ferrari above 140- but I don’t need to prove it to anybody. ..or say how fast I was going last night as I braked at the state line. Since 1998, the 550 holds the world record for sustained high speed driving by a production car: One hour at average of 182mph. When the road’s empty and the night is cool (for induction efficiency, from which I get 20% of my hp at speed) life is good…and safe…even to 200mph.
Your friend is an amazing driver. I’d compare his skill to whoever drove in the French classic “Rendezvous” by Claude Lelouch
LIMEY HOMEWORK [fag] as in UK term for cigarette. Curious which came first: Reference to sucking on a cigarette or the derogatory term for gay person.
How do you know it didn’t come from sucking on a gay person, or a dergotory name for a cigarette?
Hello Marina,very funny video,trying to act like the british.Even wearing a turkish hat,it had me laughing until I got tears in my eyes. :lol: Very good show teacher!I loved it when you was drinking the lime juice that was priceless!The rally car videos where awesome the way Gym Kahana if thats his name pushed his car to the limit and beyond is was so great.I loved your interview as well,you did a good job Marina!Thank you for your time, and all that you do for us :!:
I always noticed that the H was silent on words like “Hello” (‘ello) and “How” (“ow) but like parts of any country the accents change. I like the car videos, gets me in the mood for some hot rodding. Home work: “Northern Ireland”
“Hot Rod Race” is a Western swing song about an automobile race out of San Pedro, California, between a Ford and a Mercury. Released in November 1950, it broke the ground for a series of hot rod songs recorded for the car culture of the 1950s and 60s.[1] With its hard driving boogie woogie beat, it is sometimes named one of the first rock and roll songs.{from Wiki}…There used to be another Charlie Ryan song about the space race with RuSsiA :lol:
I like kar kulture it goes well with surf culture. I found this one from the 60′s. Usually these song pumped in some engine noise. I have that Charlie Ryan song about Russia some where! I’ll dig!
[][][krautrock][][]word-request…thanks-giving turkey :mrgreen: Love learning like this… :mrgreen: I had a professor that compared his past to the Dutch; which had cabbage to eat with-in their Imperial navy…[KRAUTROCK]…
…[lemon]…good luck on that one Marina :smile: :mrgreen: :smile: I came back for this one to post of those vinegar heads…..The Lemonheads Mrs Robinson on The Word… :lol:
I’m more like the Beav! cool vids as usual. Here is some Britishskiffle and they’re trying to mimic an American accent. What a crazy world!
*Marina :smile: —do you like Led Zepplin? Listen above to pats-skiffle!! :!: *[][][]*[S.K.i.-FF-.L.e]*[][][]*…jazz…rock…waltz…“fell on my dancing ass and found gold” :lol: :???: :cool:
British phrases that trouble me are those associated with Cockney Rhyming Slang. You could write a book on that topic, Dear Teacher. PS I’m a sucker for a lady in a fez.
Gee.. My oh my.. After seeing these videos, I feel an inexplicable urge to go out there, hit the street and buy myself a full box of bazooka joe bubble gums. Indulge myself with a roman quadrige and a quatuor of good old appaloosas. And a 6 pack of blond beer too. I absolutely don’t know the reason of this. But I am resisting the temptation (so far…)!!
Oh! And a lemon too! Yes, I feel like I need a green limey lemon right here right now! On my way to my fridge now!!! I hope there’s one left in there!
The Lady says she hasn’t heard the term “Limey” before. I’m guessing that was just poetic license. I know she remembers our own “Limey bastard.” Of course, y’all know of whom I am speaking.
We limeys are not bastards, we are merely “of uncertain parentage”. :razz:
:cool: Very :lol: lesson!
Homework [pip pip cheerio] ;-)
Marina, there are not enough stars in the universe to rate these three videos of yours; they are you at your absolute best.
Together with Ken Block’s driving, trying to emulate a cultured British accent is something that should not be attempted in public without a LOT of practise. If you want a role model, I think you couldn’t do better than Joanna Lumley.
For the men, perhaps Brian Sewell, might be a good person to TRY to emulate; I say try because he is quite unique and I don’t think anyone could really impersonate him very well.
Absolutely spot on my good man,
Marina’s video presentations above
are superb and very engaging.
Cherio chap, and good day.
Absolutely spiffing performance, what? :grin:
[smashing] (more howling gael-ic) :grin:
How do you know for sure? Have you counted the stars in the universe? If so, what number did you come up with?
Just curious.
LOL. All this stuff is really good. Thanks for explaining that to me Marina! BTW your accent was funny. “pub” and “right ho” sounded ok, but really, only the queen sounds like that.. I hope you were not trying to emulate me!
Hi,
I would have a word request. Why do British girls call guys [blokes]?
British tongue-twister – Say three times quickly,
“A bloke’s back brake block broke.”
Toy boat.
[POM] – A term for a British person.
A lot of false etymologies exist for this one. A popular one is that it is an acronym for “Prisoner of Her Majesty”.
How about the word (BOOZE) As in,” I’d like to booze you up”. I just would Iike to see you boozing on video ,HOT.
All this talk about Limieys. They’re so foreign. I recommend to purchase this DVD, used, at Amazon.com, for some intense British humor, as it helps to explain why the Brits are bizarre. So, I’m about to pop the film “Snatch” in the computer…very British.
Hwk: – bollocks – I mean yeah, I kinda understand the word but…really I don’t. I even had the Sex Pistols [album] but that word escapes me.
I got a WRX when they first came to the states–I love it. Then I upgraded to a [souped up] legacy GT, then I even [tricked it out] a bit more; but still, never loved it like the WRX. I’ll never own another Subaru but that’s a whole other story…well, one car was a [lemon] which is not the same as a “limey”–I believe.
Chickin & fux are 2 words I think should be spelled that way, but I always say bollox.. LOL bollox.. haha when I was younger I thought it meant bumcheeks, until I found out it was actually balls.
“I am going to kick you in the bollox”
I got the “balls” part (so to speak), it’s just I don’t really understand the broader usages, significances or (try this) the “nonlinguistic cultural correlate[s]“. (Dictionary.com) I mean, it seems to be used to express disbelief, distain, noncompliance…In the U.S. maybe it’s similar to how we use ‘shit’: “Let me count the ways.” (Shakespeare, Sonnet 43)
Lol Shakespeare invented the word dildo (if he didn’t it was a very early use. Anyway. Some usages are. That’s bollox, a kick in the bollox. I guess it kinda is similar to shit. Only getting kicked in the shit doesn’t hurt as much as a kick in the bollox
Yeah, well Shakespeare is full of many surprises, i.e. the first reference to the “jet set” is Shakespeare’s.
We would say ‘kick the shit out of’ not “kicked in the shit”, or ‘that hurt like shit’. Maybe Fat Bastard would say, “kicked in the shitter”; that of course, would mean ass (arse).
But for bollocks, what the hell do I do except get another stamp in my passport show-up and start throwing the word around and see where it gets me…
I say, Bob, our teacher is in need of some professional coaching in correct British pronunciation. Your moment may have arrived! :grin:
British vs American:
[knock up]: Br: wake up; Am: impregnate
[stuffed]: Am: very full after a heavy meal; Br: f*cked
lorry-truck
bonnet-hood
boot-trunk
flat-apartment
Blimey, it’s a wonder we can understand each other at all! :sad:
fag – cigarrette
bisquits – cookies
mum – mom
ma’am (pronounced mum) – ma’am (pronounced mam)
chips – french fries
crisps – chips
pissed – drunk
petrol – gas
aluminium – aluminum
thousand million – billion
billion – trillion
thousand billion – quadrillion
trillion – quintillion
HMM…
Biscuits
and usually only the queen is called ma’am or you might hear mam instead of mum if you are up north.
…usually only the queen is called ma’am…
…or M, head of MI6 in “Casino Royale”, to whom Agent 007 (or someone else, can’t remember) referred to as Ma’am.
A thousand million? As far as I know it goes 999,999,999 – 1billion
I don’t think a billion comes up a whole lot, except in finance, toxic chemicals or population figures (I’m winging it here), anyhow according to more than one website, here’s one, the American billion is 10 to the 9th power, and the British billion is 10 to the 12th .
:cool: the scene where martin saves his son from the english and end fight with tavington. great fight scenes. ….. :cool: How does the British say: help? BE Good mints are freed :???:
Lots of fun and very seductive, which is where Hollywood fattens it’s margin. And then there’s the opposite end of the spectrum, where any war is portrayed as a bad war full of profiting fat cats and victims. The truth includes much more than that, and can be told from any number of angles, but the propaganda is cheaper and more suited for the narrow attention span. Media plays the emotions.
I knew about gettin’ stuffed in Australia, but I didn’t know the Brits said that, too.
I’d like to request [skim milk]. Why is it called skim? Maybe it has to do with how milk is separated into cream and skim milk?
I have this video about a year ago looked subarik :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
