Anatolia's short break PBEM part II

[alva]

Breaking news !!!!!

Operation has been postponed !!!!

Well, at least for now. If the medicine I started taking today improves my overall condition ( not the disease itself, which is crohn btw), operation may not be needed for as long as the disease itself doesn't get worse.

[marcuspeddle]

Well, that's some good news. A friend of mine had Chrohn's Disease and didn't get over it until he had surgery. Hopefully you won't need to go through that like he did.
Turn sent to Alva the Persian-of-all-his-bits

I've already had 2 on seperate occasions with about a 5 year interval ( last one was 6 or 7 years ago, yep I'm an old geezer ).

The first had about 6 operations and spend the better part of year in hospital. That when then found out I have crohns, I was just 18 at the time
( and in the army where they f*cked a couple of times , they basically had no idea what they were doing...)

[marcuspeddle]

Sounds like the army hospitals here in Korea. Is military service compulsary in Belgium? It is here in Korea. All young men have to spend 26 months doing military service. I like Korea but I'm glad I wasn't born here.

[alva]

26 !!!!

It used to be 12 months here ( 10 if you went to Germany like I did), but switched shortly after, early 90 IIRC.
We now have a completely professional army

Yes, but you don't have North Korea as a neighbour

[alva]

Nope

But we do have Germany and they have been known to regularly come and pay a visit
Yeah, I know, it's a lame joke, sorry, just couldn't resist

Still beter then Israel, which has what? 5 or 6 years?

Come on. Germans are pacifists now. Which irritates Americans who have been actively immitating the old sterotypical "German war machine" for the past couple of decades.

Personally, I don't see how Germans could ever remain pacifistic having to live so close to France............

[alva]

Yeah, but you have to admit, fightin' them frogs just aint no fun

[alva]

Turn to Cerb btw.150ad

[CerberusIV]

to Ghengis.

As the British found out, beating up the French on the battlefield gets boring after a few hundred years and it is time to move on and do someone else over.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Sent to Alva

Did the English ever conquer/occupy Belgium, not sure about that, but then again, there have been so many who have .
You could just be the only ones in Europe who never have, an idea maybe .
Just one request: DON'T bring your food with you, ok!!

Turn 170AD to Cerb.

[CerberusIV]

to Ghengis

No, I don't think the English have ever been at war with Belgium. As long as you keep selling us your beer everything will be fine.
