Micro Credit:

The US soldier who's just admitted raping and helping killing the girl and her family in Iraq in a US Court should be executed to my mind. Although I am against the death penalty, I feel that he should get the same punishment as any civilian would get. I have a feeling it will be deemed as bad for Military morale if you get my drift. When US Service personell committed serious crimes here (in West Berlin) they were often whisked back to the States and a bung given, Brits were tried twice, and often given over to German proceedings after serving Colchester time (Quite right too I reckon)

Here we Go Here We Go Here we Go! Read this Chaps it affects all of you (even Our Mick) "Deepen the Relationship!" Can you bleedin believe that?


Fritz Von Nice to see the Cops have persuaded the London Bubble to do freebie NHS Concert for the nurses who looked after his dying Mum, though I'm sure he would have done it anyway. Personally I prefer him to Our Robbie*

Fritz,
with your fortune the banking charges won't affect U.....

American servicemen here are exempt from Filipino law. Yep, none of the buggers, pedos, rapists, thieves and murderers can be prosecuted under Filipno law for any crime. They just get shipped back to gaols in America for 5 mins or given medals. Of course any crime commited against an American serviceman by a local whether real or imaginary, with or without proof, is dealt with harshly. Of course we would all speaking Japanese if not for the heroism of US troops in WW2 so we must be grateful for their evil presence here or do I mean they actually legged it during the war because the fighting got too fierce and only came back after the bomb was dropped on Japan and that they killed more locals than the Japanese did? Sometimes I get so confused.

It still annoys me now though Our Andy that I still have to pay �20-ish every quarter, working or not. For many years now I've never trusted any direct debit, do no phone or internet banking and check my account status at least twice weekly. My regular utility bills are paid by me through my account by filling out individual payment thingys, this way I have as much 'total'control over my dosh as possible. It's impossible to really work/survive here without an account unfortunately, I use the ATM often which is free (using other banks too) where I can always 24/7 either see my actual status there and then or print out a statement (which are often a day behind the actual status).


Regards,


Fritz Von Microcredit forever*


P.S. My bank; as most here require at least �1000 remaining in the account to avoid any charges, obvuiously that �1000 invested in a savings account would accrue more* in other words you cannie bloody win which ever way you choose, only the wealthy get off free*

Parry Smiles*

N.B. My greatest fear regarding my oncoming insolvence action (court next week for first phase) was that I wouldn't be allowed a bank account (which fortunately isn't the case) otherwise it would mean paying all bills individually to seperate banks (�5 charge on each) or through the post office which is even more expensive, what the Germans call a 'Teufels Kreis'

Catch 22 even*

Acad me old China, without pushing out the old envelope too far, I believe the er, US did some very naughty things in the phillipines long long afore WWII. I have a few friends here who served in Japan for long periods, both black and both said they'd never felt so relaxed racially strangely enough.

Fritz Von Being a black Marine from Galvestone is no picnic either*


Swings & Roundabouts innit*

I see that Israel are doing well against Croatia (even though I don't consider Israel as Europe)(They're African). Did you know that Holland have NEVER been beaten at tonight's Amsterdam venue!

Now Dare's a Ting Chaps, innit!

Many Brits I know refer to the Dutch as Germans with humour and I was quite surprised just now whilst tuning in to the footy channel that I can understand just about every word spoken, how utterly utterly strange innit, but true as Our Jack P used to say: Gawd bless his cotton socks?


Fritz Von After just breakfasting on two doner kebabs a turkish sausage pizza covered with my fave LA chili sauce, four bottles of Bud & Roses lime (a small glass of claret for me blood & ticker) I'll now settle into a light cholesterol free evening's entertainment*


BrrrrP, I only eat 5 eggs a month though; gotta watch them heggs thou knows Chaps:

Glad to be of help. Looks like the Dutch are just as bad as us so far, though.

What was the score?

It was 1-1 me old Scrote. I wonder if Prince Charles should visit the "Democratically elected" President of Iraq then now that he's had so much personal success by getting a British 'Murderer' off of a death sentence after a chat with the "Undemocratically elected" President of er, Pakistan, and get Sadders a break too? Charlie Boy was in Iran not too long ago if you recall (Iran Chaps, remember Iran) how dreadful, he'll be having tea with the London trained Syrian Boss next like Our Teflon! So if Sadders is culpable for these accusations of ordering deaths to take place as the President of a Sovreign Country, why wasn't Maggie culpbable for the Gibraltor killings, or indeed Our Tone culpbable for Stockwell, etc, etc, etc, etc.


Fritz Von Surely the Special Air Service could clean up the environment then?


P.S. Lord Archer loved his time in prison thank you very much, he wrote a best selling novel in there* Bushy was good in Singapore wunneee (Now there's a Democracy and a half, I think NOT�)


Did you know that as well as there being no proper name for the back's of the knees, Cambodia only has 40 opticians for the whole Nation*

N.B. The above are not my opinions, I'm just forwarding the questions innit*

Heard the name Ortega recently, No neither have I, How strange?

I think it's important to remind folk that in this legislative manic govt (To date 365 new Laws) that in er 1997 when Teflon first got in he er,'Commissioned a er, study' into er, British Prisons*. As mentioned by me on more than one occassion on this very serious subject (which has become the usual anecdote joke thread for folk to talk the usual imaginary nonsense) the then recently retired General Chief of Staff (Army) chaired an intensive 18 month-2 year long inquiry (at great public expense naturally) on the very subject that's come to a head again (purely cos some lags got compensation). Every reccommendation the General made (backed up and consulted by experts and Senior Prison Officers & Guvnors in the field (before profit making privatization) were ignored by Tone & the HS, and subsequent ones since.



Fritz Von I contest that this is potentially the most dangerous place of all to make savings, as well as given that many suffer mental illness (before going inside) and that remains with them (and is most likely intensified too)* Britain (I repeat) has the largest prison population in Europe by far, and one must wonder WHY?

Good Money Earner for Group 4 and PFI though, innit Chaps!

Watched 'the good the bad & the ugry' last night again, good movie! and those prison camps were something else, innit, reminded me of the Boar War stories a bit*


P.S. Living here in central Eastern Europe one meets here over time many many people of varying nationalities (some not much older than myself) who've suffered long periods of imprisonment under Moscow rule. Wether they be Russian, Polish, German, etc, they all tell the same tale and I to be honest don't ever recall hearing or meeting anybody in the UK (school or otherwise) who emphasised this fact, cold War or not, I wonder why?


P.S. And No! this is not a subversive commentary regarding justifying NAZI atrocities for the wise-guys out there*

Just think that when Britain (Thatcher) took on the Argies over the Falklands based on an old claim for Sovreignty (which'll probably go in our lifetime anyway) the Yanks kept very very clear, barring op-help. Those who know their facts will also be aware that Iraq has/had a similar historic claim over the territory of Kuwait, they're both very different though naturally, innit!

I wonder what Our Mick pays for his 'Chateau Naff Du Poop' that he's often boasted about on here?


Fritz Von I expect he gets it free by the case though with the Chaps he's got as life-long Buddies (so long as he's winning naturally)*

Piss: I've just had a surprise e-mail from my old boss at the old Bog Brush Factory asking me if I could do a couple of translations for her. Strangely enough I'd only ever done English from German as the other way around is another ball game Grammar-wise for me at least, and I'm no professional like the Chief's posh mates for instance, and guess what these two (first time ever) are just that, German from English?

I said I'd have a go to get the essence, but she or my ex colleagues must make sense of it, as I have no head for concentrating on such matters, as I'm far too busy educating you lot for one thing, innit*

little johnny

Little Johnnie's neighbour had a baby. Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears. When mother and new baby came home from the hospital, Johnnie's family was invited over to see the baby. Before they left their house, Little Johnnie's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears. His dad also told him that if he so much as mentioned anything about the baby's missing ears, or even said the word ears, he would get the smacking of his life when they came back home. Little Johnnie told his dad he understood completely. When Johnnie looked in the crib he said, "What a beautiful baby." The mother said, "Why, thank
you, Little Johnnie." Johnnie said, "He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes. Can he see?" "Yes", the mother replied, "we are so thankful; the Doctor said he will have 20/20 vision." That's great", said Little Johnnie, "coz he'd be f*cked if he needed glasses, innit."

Cheers Jon Boy, though I can honestly say that I'm not jealous of anybody, and neither should you be matey:


Fritz Von I certainly wouldn't post on this forum if I was and that's a fact*

I was just on the old blower to somebody I ring very rarely and in the end had to put the phone down on him. I have no problem talking to somebody (an old mate) with a screaming kid in the background as that's almost par for the course, but when another adult starts talking to him in-between I really have to draw the line, and can only describe it as pure fucking ignorance². He rang back and asked me why I'd hung up, I pointed out that this was the third time in the last year that exactly the same thing had happenned and he was just as much to blame. We're not talking a quick "See yer later love" we're talking starting a different bloody conversation over mine, I personally can't deal with such shite, and wont ring him again (does this happen in the UK often too I wonder?). I also come from a big family and when somebody was on the one phone generally you had to just put up with it, (though kids are always scolded for interrupting) or go to the local phone box.

Fritz Von Ah well there goes another beautiful relationship, he can keep it*

P.S. Please don't confuse the above with a work situation which is a different ballgame entirely, and usually (in my experience at least) single words and handsignals and quick notes suffice without interruption, or even hang on a moment please John, innit:

Probably why I'm glad not to be a proud owner of a mobile then too I expect!*
