Hopefully the Chinese will not take offense.

Are you specifically referring to an incident involving David Cameron from four years ago here or just in general?

[The Brain]

It's only been four years since the wars?

[Agelastus]

Oh, in general then.

I thought you might have been referring to this -

Pretty sure that's exactly what he was referring to.

Sorry Brain, I didn't even register that it was Yi and not you who made the original post.

I see a lot of extra square footage that could be used for affordable housing.

Guy Fawkes thought it was affordable.

Housing in the moat of the Tower of London?  Nothing affordable about that.

I really like the Animals in War memorial in Hyde Park:

Shelf, yours looks like a memorial to the slaves who built the pyramids.  Those mules don't look at all psyched.

[Sheilbh]

Ain't that the nature of memorials?

[Admiral Yi]

I have never seen a war memorial with humans depicted hating what they are doing.

Show me what you mean because what your type of memorial suggests sounds rather Soviet to me.

I've never seen a war memorial with anyone looking psyched. It's a mournful style. It acknowledges the suffering, struggle and death because that's what we remember. So with the Animals in War.

I think that's a mule's normal expression.
