rjw63 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Why do Birmingham citys hooligans call themselves Zulus ? Because they look black. That's because the dirty inbreds don't wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Pretty interesting stuff. The Soldiers' Songs Inside an unassuming Berlin building lies a collection of recordings made in German prisoner of war camps during the first World War. Among the thousands of shellac discs are recordings of Irish soldiers and their songs, poems and stories. A century on, they come to life again here: the soldiers’ songs, and how they came to be sung. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 apparantly the name zulu's was adopted after a midweek game up at man city where the very few that made the journey were surrounded by city fans on the terrace and the zulu chant was born. apparantly anyway.

tonyh29 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The video on this thread is interesting and rather staggering deaths in world war II fast forward to 6 mins if you don't want to watch all of it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I heard Stalin quoted as saying that to beat Nazi Germany, "America provided the money, Britain provided the time and Russia provided the blood". Hard to argue with that. But who knew that quite so many Chinese died as well? No wonder things between China and Japan are a bit frosty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read a few books on the Rape of Nanking (the Japanese still deny it took place to my knowledge) but even allowing for certain amount of embellishment that these kind of events bring up , it was still pretty barbaric by any stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some documentaries on YouTube too. It's absolutely harrowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The Japanese army were evil in WW2. Some of the stories are horrific True but it is still a mystery why we were quicker to forgive, or at least find excuses for the Germans, than the Japanese in the post-war period. The propaganda was pretty fierce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 when I'm feeling bored but mischievous, I'll drop in to conversation with the mother in law that I like Japan or that I know a nice Japanese guy she's not quite got to the forgiving stage yet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
