Of the 150,000 Allied troops who landed in Normandy, 60,000 were Irish? Wow

Circa apparently mean 1-60,000 FoD.

Agreed, bro-I’m really happy with my choice.

A prostitute is now classified as a celebrity in the UK all because she took pipe from Wayne Rooney. I bet those 60,000 (circa) Irishmen would be very proud of the society they fought to allow prosper.

They were fighting for World Peace, bud.

Which ones, the 60,000 Irish or the 90,000 from the rest of the Allies?

The whole of Europe you numpty.

Bit harsh on the Americans there pal :rolleyes:

They stuck their beaks where they weren’t wanted.

God Bless America, they fucking well saved us all.

Curahee

Of the 3,464 Medals of Honor awarded as of September 17, 2009,an estimated 2,018 have been awarded to Irish-American recipients, more than twice the number awarded any other ethnic group

+1. It’s disappointing that we have to keep fact checking fellow forumites, but it has to be done.

Avoid the daily mail at all costs, not good for the mind.

That I HAVE to like AC/DC, especially if I live in Australia.
I mean who doesn’t love AC/DC.
:rolleyes:

Related to that, but not something I learned today, but had more re-affirmed. Aussies are a very insecure bunch and incredibly xenophobic.

I think it’s the weather that makes us tougher.

Yes that temperate climate of us means we have to be resolute.

Wha?

Yes that temperate climate of us means we have to be resolute.

Climate of US or climate of ours?
