UK General Strike & OOTPB

Twelvefield · 03-29-2006, 12:55 AM

News of a crippling strike in the United Kingdom due to labour reforms instituted by the Tony Blair government has reached the news I see in Vancouver, Canada. Must be some strike. My question is, is it enough to but the brakes on the production of OOTPB?

hmm guess I misheard that. I thought it was in France, not England.

At least if it was France it'd be beleivable

CC...both nations are undergoing strikes. The French one is out of control as they again riot and burn things.

Doesn't anyone around here have any patience? It's not like they said it would be out by now.

They do other things. They get overrun by the Germans and call the UK and the US to take back the country for them.

Mmmm. World War II jokes never get old.

I wouldn't have even noticed there was a strike on yesterday if it wasn't for the fact I saw my mum when she should have been at work.

True story.

D-Day morning, and one my paratrooper uncles who was liberating France was badly wounded and laying by the side of a French road.

None of the French who saw him would help him. Finally a German medic came along and bandaged his wounds.

Not so fast. We first need to bargain in good faith before we can go on strike. But we can't because ownership has locked us out (Duffy's post embargo). At this rate we will never have a new CBA in place by opening day. How am I going to feed my family on 12 million? I WILL NOT buy that cheap cavier! No sir!

Ugh, why do Americans have such myopic views of history? Should we all be kissing Russia's a$$ for diluting the German forces enough to allow us to reach Germany?
