Border closing ceremony
on: March 23, 2010, 06:05:47 AM
And apparently they do this everyday, honestly it's so elaborate it looks came out of a comic sketch.

I think the Pakistani full beard looks cooler than Indian mustache. :D

That's a bit bizarre :think: Sort of a mix of extreme goosestepping and trad Brit marching :D

Still at least there not shooting one another :)

I've seen that before and love it.  In fact I find it a touch reassuring, in that the two Army's have obviously come together at some point and choreographed the ceremony.  Presumably without anyone being shot.

That is pretty cool but every day  :o

They should have this for the English border to Wales and Scotland; John Cleese could do the first one  :tu:

They do, but for the welsh border it involves leeks, daffodils and the ritual buggering of a sheep.

They certainly are flexible  :o

Didn't understand why they have to kick that high for a bang of the boot. But since it's part of their ceremony, I guess I'll just have to respect it and shut up. :D

Huh.

One Toyota Camry with a dodgy accelerator could reopen that border pretty quickly... :think:

I dunno...

Energy= 1/2 massX velocity2.

I'm not really seeing the whole velocity thing working out for an Enfield.  :-\
