I won't stand for such slander. Have you forgotten that brilliant, courageous assault on the Rainbow Warrior?tombraider wrote: ↑Sat May 16, 2020 2:34 amare they preparing to surrender or something? presumably, they learned the term for the most popular French war manoeuvre

Interesting. They're preparing the military field doctors to missions in Africa where french is used to communicate. One of the Khmer guys said it gave them an edge over those who only spoke English.

And people still believe that the French ceded independence in 1953? It's a joke.
When I lived in Phnom Penh, I often used to peruse the so-called 'Independence Monument'. The hollow interior was a dead giveaway.

I gather you were never inside it - because it's not hollow.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.

Excuse me if I am being ignorant, but how can you go inside a building if it is not hollow?springrain wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 6:58 pmYes, it is.Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 6:57 pmI gather you were never inside it - because it's not hollow.

It's a monument held up by pillars. You could go in and see the dead eternal flame years ago but you can't now.
