Favorite American civil war battle and why? Mine is Shiloh ... The hornets nest....all seemed lost....reminds me of American will to survive. By god we may get knocked down but we will never be knocked out.
Shiloh it is. It was the first bloodbath of the US Civil War. It was also a battle the Confederacy could and should have won. Of course with Grant and Sherman having the following conversation, there really was no hope for the South:
Sherman said: "Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?"
After a puff of his cigar, Grant replied calmly: "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow, though."

Had to go to the IRS office and pick up 20 1099divs for my wife before work as it is her busy time of year at work. I was greeted by an armed guard who asked me what I needed. So I took out my phone to look at the text message my wife sent me. He informed me that cell phones are not allowed to be turned on in the office. I had to go outside to look at the text message. I guess I was shocked on how the US government pays to have an armed guard posted at each IRS office. There was only one IRS worker working. I questioned my wife about this and she said more times than not most people who visit are not happy with the government . Still I found it shocking.

I wouldn't expect you too [;)]
David Coleman was a much maligned commentator (due to his many errors - later referred to as Coleman-balls). I actually thought he was excellent (FA Cup final commentary was not the same without him) but that is by the by.
There was a comedian in the 80's who did Coleman's voice on a program called spitting image and "Errr quite remarkable" was almost a catchphrase.
Hence when you posted an extra one - out came the quote.

A question for my UK friends. I work in the grocery industry and was just reading the top 50 chains in the world. Tesco did 114 billion dollars last year and employs over 560,000 people. Your thoughts do you like the store? Very positive reviews.

My sister works for them and it does not sound like the greatest place to work...[:(]
As for the grocery side - Tesco is the warspite's supermarket of choice [:)]

Never heard of Tesco. But then I do not live in UK so I was not asked. [:)].

A year ago I had to go to the tax office to get some blankets and was greeted by a guard who had me wait outside so the that there was not to many inside their office.

Time to be honest with yourself parusski. You know you are not immune. Over the course of the last 18 months you have gained both knowledge in, and a love of, proper football, motor racing, history, geography, the arts and music, to name but a few subjects. I suspect another year or so and you will be begging for UK citizenship.

After going to ancestry.com I found out that my great grandfathers brothers third wife second cousins great uncles nephews cousin grandmothers sister aunt was one quarter Dutch . So I cannot in good faith tolerate anymore statements about the Dutch as I am now related to them.

I hate to inform you of the fact that I AM the sole power here. Even Josh, our resident Dutch thing, agrees the Dutch are intolerant and CAN'T be tolerated.[:-]

The only honest thing I can say is, I have gained some knowledge, but I am the one who taught you, and the world, of BPB, the history of quantum physics, how the universe was formed, the proper use of alarm clocks and how to become wealthy working from home(my sister made $6255 last week). But you did teach me much about the great S. Ambrose, that I give you.

I taught you everything - yet it appears I taught you nothing...
Do you really, even after all this time, not see what is staring you squarely dans la visage? If you
know Ambrose, I mean really know the man and his works, then there is nothing else to learn. Understanding Ambrose unlocks all the secrets of the world; in effect the world is your lobster.
Oh Parusski, as I say, I have given you everything and yet you have chosen to use that power foolishly... You have wasted your chance... I pity you.

Well, even God had thoughts on the Dutch:
As the good Lord said: "Love thy neighbour as thyself, unless he's Dutch, in which case, kill the bastard!"
