That explains the funny looks I got with the sekonda watch I got off me mum for xmas.

There's a documentary I saw a couple of months back. I still don't know if it's a hoax by people taking the piss but it's worth a watch. Here is the link ed. if you want to check it out first. I can't remember the name of the show when it first came out but pure Propaganda whoever is behind it whether N. Korea or the West.

North Korean film exposes Western propaganda - Part 1 of 10

Haha I can imagine you with your imaginary gun lined up at tarquin Giles and Benedict, egham felt posh I worked in virgina waters and that's were upper class snobbery hit home to me, don't get me wrong not everyone some were great people but on the whole there was a clear divide.

frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - I found the fact that I had a Rolex on my wrist changed everything about the way I was treated there. The fact it was a gift they never knew, but they assumed it meant I had money, and suddenly everyone was so much more polite and welcoming!}

Well edd I trust your judgement and I can get back to hating the royals but my main question is are you minted? you lived in windsor?i had a job in egham for 6 months when I was a teenager, talk about expensive.its not to far from windsor because me and a ex road a bike in this massive park and was shocked how close I was to the queens gaff.


frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - I was working abroad for a bit mate, I wish I was minted! It was too expensive to live there long, unfortunately because it was really nice where I lived. It was on the main road between Windsor and Ascot, with Guards Polo at the end of the road and a miniature deer sanctuary on the opposite side of the road. Bit of a nightmare during Ascot week though, the road was just one giant traffic jam full of stretch limos and drunken toffs hanging out the roof of them splashing champagne everywhere. When I had to fly out to Dubai on lady's day, I ended up in Heathrow 4 hours early just to avoid the traffic, bored to tears I was.}

Wouldn't be a secret if everyone knew about it..

Sounds like you know more than you are letting on edd?

frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - I have met both a few times, I used to live in Windsor for a while, the door guard at the castle, Cecil, was a lovely old fella who used to let me park my car there out of the way (and free of parking charges!). At that time Harry was still at Eton and he was not a nice lad or well liked by the locals that weren't in the royal employ.}

Maybe so edd but underneath the upper class up bringing and the drunken benders ho goes on I do feel there's a genuine caring side to him, may be inherited by he's mum, as for him getting pissed and doing stupid stuff well edd we have all done it but we do not have cameras on are arse 24/7.just read what I typed about a royal and can confirm this is the real frankyscouse {Ed001's Note - if you had said it about his brother, I would agree, but not him, he is not a nice lad at all.}

The yanks would use emp weapons the north koreans wouldn't even get their missiles off the ground ...no contest .....bear in mind the US was testing the likes of stealth in the 60s and 70s ....what sort of classified weaponary have the americans got now ...the mind boggles ....

Effective secret service then.

Sounds a bit like how the western countries are becoming.

I would say it would be West verses East and I agree with Ed033 that N.Korea and China would finish off whoever was left

For me if there was to be a war Britain, Germany and the USA would be one one team obviously with other allies such as Australia and Canada, I think North Korea would definitely be on the other side and I think china and Russia would be in the background, making the Koreans look like the bad guys

The North Koreans just seem mad to me, they really do entertain me with some of the ridiculous propaganda, like at the Olympics when they broadcast the medal table as North Korea-300 golds, Russia-300 silvers and china-300 bronzes

Anyone intersted in the relationship between the us and n.korea should Listen to noam chomskys Iraq : the forever war .

Although mainly about the Middle East he makes a few references as to why the and Koreans are aggrieved by u.s actions.

One of the proposed reasons, aside many others is that the u.s had promised North Korea aid if it canceled all long range missile tests which it did for a short while . After which the u.s failed to supply the country with the aid it was promised .

Very interesting and a reminder not to be taken in by the western press's typecasting of North Korea as a violent rogue state.

Of course I'm not suggesting for a moment that they're not a brutal dictatorship, but it's interesting to look at every story from both sides.

Kevdarko you'd love to go visit a totalitarian dictatorship, where they starve their people to pay for the military, where in the countryside people are reduced to grass and nettle soup and its reckoned up to two million people have starved to death in the last two decades, and everything you seen was carefully screened to only show the glory of the regime and not the truth. And you also think they'd beat the yanks in a war despite the fact that last time out they needed the chinese and soviets to scrape a draw?

Its crazy stuff, I was looking at a website which offers tours of North Korea its a tad expensive but if money was no object I for one would love to go.

The north koreans would be absolutely annihilated in a nuclear war with the us, although they had ties to china and russia during the cold war, their relationship with china seems fractured though and I see them like iran mainly: a pariah state which is simultaniously threatening and threatened. however ultimately a nation that enslaves and keeps its people starving is no real danger to our 'civilised' society ;P

Aren't their people supposed to be really poor and malnourished because they spend all their money on the military?
