I have not seen the video, but we know gurkhas very well, they came to the Malvinas (Falklands for the British) war. A sore subject for me.
Regen, I am sorry you were ill, and of course, super glad you are feeling better.
Not only that about the common cold, it is also restricted, because with all the precautions due to covid, there are less cold contagions too :)
How is the house's building going?

Yaaaa, I read a comment about that particular fight. Apparently an Argientian artillery unit spent the night bombarding the Gurkas. Then the next day when the Gurkas charged they're position, the Argentines surrendered almost immediately, which I do not blame them one bit for XD . I woudn't have Eve shelled them XD .

I don't know, I never had the stomach to read much about the war. It hurts too much. Our soldiers were badly nourished, with cold, many of them were very young. Some of them remember having being captured and British soldiers being appalled of their poor condition (and of course they ate much better as British prisoners, the British had a very professional, well provided army). All the public did donations for our soldiers, food, blankets, money, whatever. We gave what we could. I remember we donate several little gold chains or pins, even some of my baptism gifts and things like that. I was 9 at the time and I remember it pretty well. And when the War was over it was discovered that the government stole most of it, gave it to friends, sold it. Very few things arrived to the soldiers. Our government at the time was a dictatorship, and the president at the time was the third de facto president on a raw, and probably the most ineffectual of them. He went to the War to try to win the favor of the public, and it worked for a while. And after the war, it crashed. The dictatorship ended the following year.
On the UK, the war also served to win the favor of the public, but their government was a legitimate one. The success in the War secured the relection of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. And I think many British regretted it later.
Sorry, we are not supposed to talk politics here in the forum but I wanted to give you an idea of how things were. I think what I said was historically proven, or my own memories. But if someone gets offended I'll delete it.
On a happier note, we bought a chocolate liquor and we opened it today. Very yummy. it is from a chocolaterie, which (besides chocolates) sells really would ice creams (gelatto). We had never tried their liquor until today.

Hello!!!!!
I was absent for a while, so I thought I'd drop by and say hello.
I was working the nightshift last week. So now I feel tired again. There is a pattern, lol. I always feel tired. But I have the week off. That is good, because I can finish the Christmas gifts for the kids.
This year we will celebrate at my parents', because I have to work and won't have time to prepare for guests. So I will just bring some food.
