I put it in there because I wanted a phrase that would rhyme with "Ranger Wings", which is not what you might expect.
Not this, at all |
There will be those out there who would laughingly rejoinder "Oho! Irish special forces, eh? Experts in drinking Guiness and eating taters!"
If these selfsame people, whilst carrying guns and about bad business, were to encounter the ARW, they would be rapidly (and fatally!) surprised and corrected. The ARW recruit from the Irish army, who themselves are long-service professionals with over 50 years of experience in support of the UN across the globe. Conrad uses the analogy of the rabid weasel when talking about the Irish army - small but very dangerous.
Go on, make a joke about potatoes now. |
Well the - the Intro is out and I've got less than three hours before Pub Quiz, so let the rock and roll begin!
"Murun Buchstansangur"
I am not making it up. Proof, Tom, proof!
Murun and friend |
This post comes about because Tom and Javed were discussing children's cartoons and which they preferred. Of course, being considerably younger than your humble scribe, they described programmes significantly different from those I would have chosen.
Okay, perhaps not this one - |
Since Conrad, like the hypocrite he is, has never watched the vile blue beasts, I had to take it as read when Tom harshly criticised "Gargamel" who is apparently the chief antagonist of the cerulean swines. Tom dismissed him as an ineffectual incompetent who is hardly a threat to world peace. Also, he sounds like a kind of patent cough-mixture:
"Is your sore throat giving you hell?
Smite it down with a dose of Gargamel!"
Let us see what this baffoon looks like. Art?
Obviously a transvestite - he's wearing that witches dress and Dorothy's shoes ... |
Of Norks And Nukes
Another word to add to the Bloglossary - "Nork" = North Korea. You knew that already, and DON'T go Google it.
A Knork. Easily confused. |
Since this is most assuredly Politics mixed with Current Affairs, with the Norks fawning adulation of their leader The Sulky Fat Lad akin to semi-religious worship, where can we possibly be going with this, given our blog axioms?
The "nukes" bit is a clue, as the Beeb's website also focuses on the Norks nuclear ambitions. People are running around like headless chickens, panicking about a Nork invasion of the USA - oh, no, wait a minute, that was the "Red Dawn" remake.
Ambition. A great thing |
Swizzels. Easily mistaken |
