Indian troops rearely get a mention in UK either, though they formed a large proportion of the 8th Army in N. Africa. Other Commonwealth troops (Aus, NZ for example) get a lot more coverage. The Americans were offered specialized armour for the invasion but turned it all down except for...

Save us from smug kids that think we need saving! I'm reminded of the story of Chuang-Tzu and the 'useless' tree.

Some ingenuity: 79th armoured division. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobart%27s_Funnies

The early Daleks (Hartnell era) had a lot more personality and variety of catchphrases: Exterminate... Obliterate... Annihilate... Destroy with joy (!!)... Clean up this planet... Try the original Invasion: Earth series or better still The Chase for b/w Dalek fun! Edit: Oh yeah the MR stuff...

Drawing more unwelcome international attention on the regime seems a worthwhile achievement under the circumstances. I agree though that demonstrations aren't the solution to everything. Also - Note how many of the guys on that list started out (or had been) in the military...

Watching the trailer was quite enough. Oh look some mud! Bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang. Yawn. More Bethslop.

Couple of atmospheric recent Spanish horror flicks: Rec, and The Orphanage. Worth a look if you can live with subtitles.

Thripweed is back! Yay.

ForCV: Ah well I never bothered with little badges, grades and such. Belts are for holding up trousers. In a deep zen sense. :lol:
