Sweet, sweet egg bugs and pus tho

Absolutely disgusting.........

well...until no one bothers to step in for tapoica i take your word for it

Hey the brits even have non pudding names for some of their puddings, like a "spotted dick" and that instead what we call pudding is custards. they have their blood pudding, and I think they have 20 things they call a pudding, but they are not what we consider an actual pudding.

Oh yeah, those qeues in Russia back then were shown by all of the Presidents as a "See America enjoys superiority when it comes to consumer choices and access.!"

I do remember the day the MiG-25 pilot landed his "Foxbat" in Japan, when they took him stateside, showed him an actual super-market, he thought it was some propaganda ploy, they had to spontaneously take him to competing markets to show how it was, he nearly joy-gasmed.

I remember those days......



Ah..... to be young again and in a cold war........

Hey now, I was actually in that cold war at the pointy end! Every time that klaxon went off we were not sure if we were to pull the pins and let the Pershings loose at Russia!/East Germany, etc., Had that actually happened this pleasant cross cultural chat would not be possible and our entire planet would look like

Me, too, Shaso. Yes I am old and have a cold War certificate signed by Donald Rumsfeld......

I actually participated in the last ReForGer excercise in the early '90's....

shaso you are absolutly right... it was a given fact that we germans learned in school...if it ever came to nuklear war...germany would be toast... from either side... we were stuck in the middle...


so...thanks mate for not being trigger happy^^

man shaso!!! where would that pic be from? what place? would love to visit a aircarrier...

Ah, the reforger exercises. I hated rut detail! We still wound up paying for the tire ruts we left even after trying to fill them back in by hand anytime we went to the "woods" in Germany.

Yes, these images I deal with now as they a part of the FO universe, but as a kid, and even in the Army, these were the images of bad dreams as I saw myself observing the end of all, and living long enough to see it all end like this.

But the Pershings stopped after I got out, and no problem Vik, we were the only guys over there whose job it was to actually NOT want to launch the weapons. We knew if that happened, it was Game Over for everyone!

that is rivet city... now that is a place to look forward too...

after i was in the army and i watched the movie last stand again i felt shivers down my spine... the national guard in theri full clad enviroment gear... that was very freaky and creeped me out no end... the whole behavior of them would be fully expected of me...


by the way... when we had combat trainings afterwards we too had to fill in everything we dug out beforehand... in case one of the poor sows might be caught inside of the holes...rather silly if you ask me...

You have to understand, Regan Propaganda only showed us what they wanted us to see at the time. (people standing in long lines in overcoats).

Well, everyone had worked... But had not plenty of money and food. Had nothing, in fact. Whenever paradoxically that sounds
Oh, and that damn propaganda... All those scary fairy tales about the horrible enemies around you, who gonna steal your shoes, eat your launch and rape your dog (they also drink the blood of virgins, of course!). The period of cold war had gave birth to a lot of such stories. Fear is a weapon in hands of politicians, indeed... You better not to know, what Soviet propaganda had told about the western culture

Anyway, it seems I'm kinda out of place with this discussion

Sorry, it is just that I was aware of the wacky period of the Cold War, I actually looked for what I could as it interested me as a History buff. I knew already about us Imperialistic capitalist pigs!

No, you're fine. I think it is therapuetic for old men to sit around and wonder aloud why things were the way they were when we obviously all feel the same about how badly it should not have been that way.

Global Bonding, I say....

No big deal really, stupid politicians and their attempts to scare us all against each other

So say we all!

Sorry going of track but a couple of pointers , black pudding is pigs blood congealed and some other stuff also a white pudding but contains oats, sausage shaped ate with fry ups. steak pudding is a suet based case mixed with flour (however a pudding is made using the same process minus the meat)

Yorkshire pudding is a batter mix but can be used for sweet or savoury or with sausages mixed in known as toad in the hole, as for steak pudding and pork pie being the same they are very different things, I should know love steak pudding and worked in a pork pie factory.

Steak pudding has as said suet based shell and chunks of steak with a gravy inside, pork pie has a pastry shell with a cold meat inside very different.

As for the cold war it was propaganda to keep politicians around the world in jobs

about the whole cold war stuff....

everyone...:

GROUP HUG

Dood, please, tell me. I mean it. This has been on my mind my whole life.... I KNOW now the US was never spit-polished and squeaky clean, but that is what they told us in many ways, we were conditioned in a way. I'm not sure what changed, but I know better now. In response to being lied to by those I was supposed to trust, I have become a humanist first and foremost.
