My dad's a bit like that, Lee. I've never investigated the condition of his underwear, but I know he's still got a pair of Adidas that have "Made in West Germany" stamped on the insole.
Those were the days eh? When we were told who to trust, and who not to trust. Those damn Communists.
Still, they've gone now (for all intents and purposes) but - thank god - we have been given someone else to fear and hate, what would we do without Al Qaida? (is his full name Alan Qaida, like Colin Saunders shortened his name to Col?)
Personally, I rue the loss of the 'East' and the 'West' being so close to home; I loved the joke about the East German pole vaulting team, and how they became the West German pole vaulting team.
Oh dear, the thread has lost its direction.
To bring it back on track (I know some people get wound up by a multi directional thread) I would like to say that I didnt like the new Forum, but now I do.
This week I will mainly be drinking Miller Lite, with the new 'Vortex Bottle'
