Hm, I haven't noticed this before, but round 5.15. there's a moment when the UK ILX0rs wned their way home, and for the rest of us it's like the fighter escort leaving us heavy bombers at the Dutch coast -- who knows what flames/Fokke-Wulf 190s we will face...

Dude, what is it with the English and World War II? Don't they know it's been over FOR SIXTY BLOODY YEARS?!?!? Sigh.

I go home at 5pm. I refuse to post to ILX from home for the sake of my sanity and my relationship and my life.

Excuse me, but wasn't it you who was watching the Mosquito pathfinder Spivey fest last week?? I was in a bit of a state when I posted this thread, anyway. Anyway, it was the USA[A]F who had the fighter support -- the Brits flew by night.

(I know, I know, I'm just joking Enrique, I thought that was clear. Sorry!)

That's okay, I think I shd log off and, like, go and pray or something, these posts are getting more and more fuxxored up

hurrah! i thought this thread had legs! quite un-pc ones admittedly; but then one of the USAF boys/US posters yesterday asked me what 'Ypres' was on the armistice day thread; like, where's pearl harbor d00d? (god i am todally stealing my chops off mark -- that's a debt, btw).

back in time for eggs and a bally good wallbanger with a wren, what?

― enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't think i'm going to make this one; one engine down... back in time for tea, or the c4 newz

best ever metaphor on ILX?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 11 November 2003 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, well, if they had been a Stereolab fan they'd have known where Ypres was. ;-)

really? i quite like ver lab (details: kust bought MAQ; g/f owns ETK plus that one of early rarities) and i didnae know any ypres connexion...

― enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 09:11 (twenty-one years ago)

(No real connection, they just had a song called Les Ypres-sound or something like that, but I believe it was named after the band, not the town.)

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 09:21 (twenty-one years ago)

That was Yper-Sound, wasn't it? Always assumed this was just hyper-sound with the silent in French anyway H removed.

― OleM (OleM), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 09:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Yper is the Flemish for Ypres I do believe.
