ParticipantFive-jump chump here!
Through some coincidence or another my jump school class was about 10% Marines … all the ones I met were pretty cool.
I’ve been reprimanded at least once due to my excessive fondness for Marine jokes. That said, I’ve always gotten along well with the USMC, though I remember a joint exercise that had to be halted temporarily because of a near-fight between our guys and a bunch of Royal Marines … guess they still haven’t forgiven us for the Revolution, much as I’m not likely to forgive their country for Hugh Grant =)

Participant[quote=patientrenter]Those who lived through the 1970’s in the UK will remember the inflation and general financial mess. The UK is capable of much worse financial perfidy than even our beloved Treasury and Federal Reserve.[/quote]
There was a great parody of “Our House” from the Spitting Image folks that was posted to YouTube a while ago … it’s been taken down but here are the lyrics. Keep in mind these lyrics go back to the early ’90s or so.
Dad believed what Maggie said
Get a mortgage buy a home
So Dad took out a great big loan
For a while there we were chuffed
Now the market has collapsed
And we’re absolutely stuffedOur house, in the middle of a slump
Our house, no one wants to buy this dumpDad is desperate to sell
But now our home’s worth even less
Than a pension from Maxwell
Our living room’s a mess
Full of magistrates and bailiffs
Trying to repossessOur house, in the middle of the boom
Our house, it was worth a small fortune
Our house, left us in a dreadful state
Our house, why the hell’d we decorateWe really caught a cold
Nowhere we can go to now
All the council houses have been sold
Our dad’s taken some stick
He’s still voting Tory though
By God he must be thickOur house, didn’t work out like we planned
Our house, prices dropped by fifty grand
Our house, threw us out and changed the locks
Our house, it is now a cardboard boxParticipant[quote=patientrenter]Those who lived through the 1970’s in the UK will remember the inflation and general financial mess. The UK is capable of much worse financial perfidy than even our beloved Treasury and Federal Reserve.[/quote]

OMG I’ve seen a few videos like that … the sort of lunatic-fringe extreme sport that could only evolve in a socialist welfare state =)
Not that I have anything against universal health care or extreme sports … just that it’s easier to think up stuff like that when you don’t have to worry about the copay on having your entire skeletal system rebuilt!
