Splitting hairs, are we? Ha ha. Bin Laden was fighting for Islam not Saudi in particular. They guy who faught to free Saudi, and I should have listed him in the terrorist class, was Thomas Edward Lawrence a.k.a. Lawrence of Arabia, who was a Welsh man.
If we're talking about military leaders then Collins is definitely in the 'Terrorist Class'. He led a guerrilla war not a conventional one. Put him in with Garabaldi, Mao, Tito, Orde Wingate, Paddy Blair Mayne and of course, bin Laden.
I know Jim Herlihy wrote a book about he RIC and he is would know if there was any such photo in existence. I don't have his email but I'm sure you can find it someplace. He lives in Blarney, Cork I think.
Ha ha Lee; they'd love you down in Dixie. You probably don't hear much about him because the yankees went on to write US military history. Rommel also came out on the wrong side and we hear about how great Churchill was even though he marched tens of thousands into futile deaths through his stupidity and ignorance or perhaps something more sinister.
James Mason played him well in this
.. and today we are still fighting over the same sands!!!!
Caesar was more of a political leader than a military one. Scipio Africanus is still regarded by many as the greatest miltary leader although some say Napoleon or Hannibal. One thing is for sure, the modern Ruperts are little more than civil servants. Lol
Yuri Gregarin was the first man in space and to complete an orbit of the Earth on April 12 1961.
John Glen was the first American in space - Feb 20 1962.
The Americans often refer to Glen as the 'first man in space' but as you can see he was ten months behind Gregarin. I suppose they feel that if they repeat it often enough people will start to believe it.
Good man, well done. Don't forget you're only starting out yet. Don't take your eye off the ball over the next months and years or you will end up back on them. I'd say you should stay away from all smokers for a couple of years because even the smell of the smoke could start up the cravings. Anyway, well done up to this point.
No problem. I'd go for the 90% instantised. It's bland but low in fat and less lactose. If you get a nice fruit to mix it with in the blender you will soon get used to it. The protein shakes you buy in most stores are low in protein and high in fat and lactose. Good luck with it.
The 90% stuff is less tasty than the 80% (really 82%)
I find it best to use water and a bit of fruit in a blender. None of it is nice at the start but eventually they taste fine. I see they have flavoured kinds but I've never tried those. They're probably a lot tastier.
It's delivered by courier in a couple of working days. I think it works out at about 11 euro no matter what you order. I usually get a big order so the courier cost is insignificant.
I only heard 'Jimmy the Weed' was about Manchunian gangster Jimmy Donnelly of the Quality Street Gang. They hung out in his mums place when Phil was a kid.
