How have I only JUST noticed the budgie. Clever little detail, the budgie being used to detect the gas.

Up to your waist in water Up to your eyes in slush Using the kind of language That makes the sergeants blush; Who wouldn't join the army That's what we all enquire Don't we pity the poor civilians Sitting beside the fire? (Chorus) Oh! Oh! Oh! It's a lovely war Who wouldn't be a soldier, eh? Oh, it's a shame to take the payAs soon as reveille has gone We feel just as heavy as lead But we never get up till the sergeant Brings our breakfast up to bed What do you want with eggs and ham When you've got plum and apple jam? Form fours! Right turn! How shall we spend the money we earn? Come to the cook-house door, boys Sniff at the lovely stew Who is it says the colonel Gets better grub than you? Any complaints this morning? Do we complain? Not we What's the matter with lumps of onion Floating around the tea? (Chorus) Oh! Oh! Oh! It's a lovely war Who wouldn't be a soldier, eh? Oh, it's a shame to take the pay As soon as reveille has gone We feel just as heavy as lead But we never get up till the sergeant Brings our breakfast up to bed What do you want with eggs and ham When you've got plum and apple jam? Form fours! Right turn! How shall we spend the money we earn

Great film poor history. There is a great deal of ignorance here about the Great War. A lot of the attitudes in the comments reflect nothing more than modern opinion. Go watch the Peter Jackson documentary.

One of the only poems to ever make me cry. So many young men lost their lives needlessly.. Generations of men wiped out because of politicians and their bullshit. Forcing young men to run into machine gun fire should've been a war crime. Some may even consider Rupert one of the lucky ones as he passed peacefully before he reached the front. His younger brother died after being at the front for just 19 days.

The connection was that Belgium DID stop the Germans - and my great grandpa earned two Chevalier de l'Ordre de Léopold, with Oak Leaves (the Belgian VC) doing so. The Allied lines held, as the Germans went further and further west, trying to turn the flank, in what was called the Race to the Sea, and eventually faced what was left of the Belgian Army, defending what was left of Belgium, from the highest ground in the Yser Valley, the railway embankment from Nieupoort to Furnes. Captain Louis Nestor Guiot commanded the western half of the line, and held them long enough for the King, commanding in the field, to get the sea sluices blown, turning Flanders into the uncrossable sea of mud. I had a hand in the film, finding the WW1 battledress uniforms, and taking my first salute as the greenest 14 year old cadet ever. A message went the other way, I now realise: now, as then, the youngsters learn to kill, and die.

My parents took me to see this when I was far to young and I hated it because none of it made sense. I watched it again, on video, many years later and thought it one of best criticisms of war ever made. The humour fades into ridiculous naivety and the horror is highlighted by the lunacy of the kings and generals. I watch it once a year and it never fails make me smile and cry. A masterpiece.

As a fourteen year old, I took my first salute from the cast, supposedly for finding the uniforms. It was only when I was actually doing a Staff Officers' job forty years later that I realised there was a message going the other way, then as now, it's the young who die.

It demonstrates so impeccably well how Homo sapiens is a despicable though efficiently evolved species of killers, and mass rapists and destroyers and marauders, that it is so easy to whip-up support for mechanised death on a huge scale, by the drum beat of war, intermixed with a blunt and momentarily intoxicating and cynically engaged eroticism. Women, who ought to be the guardians of life-creativity and life-protectivity and peace and nurture, are no less susceptible to this intoxication, this clarion and indeed suicidal call for destruction of the evil enemy. The creatures who threaten her homeland, her children. The same creature as ourselves, but dressed in the psychotic and distorting projections from our subconscious psyches. What a charming and inspiring and angelic species we are! Now in the latest generations we come blessed and armed with putrid phallocratic nuclear missiles, a planet-destroying patriarchal capitalism, and imminently with the rampant insanity of freely operating so-called "Artificial intelligence" machines. Mechanisms programmed from the dungeon-swill of clever but stupid young men's psychopathic and generally paranoid subconscious minds, and which will take one glance at us, conclude we are a rival for the planet's resources, and exterminate us, and probably most other life-forms on the planet. Truly a triumph of maleness, men and masculinity and patriarchy. Love, andrea

@@TheIrishvolunteer Roget's; and a cheap but fat general purpose confection; and, since the differences in content, notwithstanding the different indexing and cross-referencing schemes, between a thesaurus and a decent dictionary, are always up for debate, I have a late 1990s copy of the OED. All three of which I purloined for free, zilch from a recycling book stand in a local branch of Tesco's! What philanthropists! Plus of course, there are umpteen online dictionaries and thesauruses and so-called AI controlled style guides (yuk). My rooms are full of piles and rows of books, as I discovered to the full extend when I changed my cosy habitation this weekend.😅😇. Noting your droll KZbin handle, I love Wilde and JB Shaw, both caustic witty critics of that English vanitas, conceit, and ruthless agility in assassination, character and corporeal. If only Mighty Britannia Pacificatrix (oh really?) would wake up and stop sucking Uncle Sam's cock, and stop being the apologist and water-carrier for every genocidal little adventure cooked up by the techno-killer girls and boys at Langley and the Pentagon and the DoD, and whoever is the puppet in the Whitehouse. No more laughably entitled independent yet assuredly exterminatory and psychopathic nuclear weapons (those phallocratic missiles probably fuelled with extracts of masturbated semen), and no more NATO. Instead, cosy up to those who at least are on a similar wavelength, ie Mother India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ghana, The Gold Coast, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Singapore. I would have added Hong Kong, but Beijing seems to be enjoying turning that into a basket case. We might even learn a little civilisation also from Paris, Berlin, Roma, Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, Moscow.... Love andrea (the bookish woman and comically Bloomsbury-ish radical feminist-Marxist polyamorous Neo-Freudian, who enjoys stroking her clitoral hood whilst watching Roman Lions voraciously eating worthless Christians)
