the alex brought 15k...southend brought 30k and lost

Nice one skizz good day out?


Changing the subject i heard the other day during the WW2 - 1/2 a million Brits were killed, 1/2 million Americans, 6 millions Germans, 6 million Jews and 24 million Russians. What an incredible, disproportionate figure of deaths from Russia

Really shows Stalin's perception of everyday people's lives as an expendable commodity.

Yeah i agree. Its always said the USA (with Britain) won the war but with these figures you could say its the russians

It was absolutely the Russians that won the war. There is an interesting sounding documentary series coming up on Sky Atlantic (the documentary is about American history) which was previewed on 5 live the other week and the bloke who made it reckoned the Russians were fighting 100 German divisions on the eastern front while in the west we were fighting about 10 German divisions. We were busy fighting in the Italian front trying to preserve our Empire for large parts of the war (a futile endeavour as it turned out).

We were always taught basically that the thing that turned the war was Hitler's Operation Barbarossa (decision to invade Soviet Union and begin fighting on two fronts). Not that Stalin was keen to go to war, in fact he was quite desperate not to and even signed a pact to that effect.

yeah mate decent weather, weird going there and seeing your boys pick up a trophy

that is an unbelievable figure. can't quite get my head round that.

so long story short, one of my Mum's friends has decided to say I've been "useless" in terms of providing support to the rest of my family since my Mum passed...is it really my fault they changed the house phone number 6 weeks ago, nobody told me, and I actually had to journey to the house to check they were still alive?

some people talk the most shit, i'm actually fuming

Skizz its amazing how often these sorts of things happen when someone passes away. A similar thing happened in my family. I wont bore you with the details but we didnt talk to certain members of the family (aunts, cousins) for roughly 10 years and only recently due to another uncle persevering things are sorting themselves out. Often money is a big factor in fall outs luckily this wasn't the problem for me

My advice is explain to who ever is pissed off your side of the story & what's happened and let them get on with it

deffo flash. grief does strange things to people but one of the people throwing accusations and slandering me has met me once and my old dear hated him anyway. c**t.

either way before your post i took your advice, put him wide about the comments he made and said it's best to leave it there. it's no skin off my nose, he's not a member of my family anyway his wife was a close friend of my mum, so how they can talk about what is going on within my family is nonsensical. i've got to the point where I just laugh, got bigger things to worry about.
