They're toasted you see.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Matter of taste, I suppose. What I can report is that Paraguayan cigarettes are amongst the worst in the world, worse even than some of the cheapest domestic brands in Brazil. In desperation I once bought a pack from a street vendor when nowhere else was open. The next day I tried to give them away to a homeless beggar and even he looked askance at my gift.

Actual Russian cigarettes no. I used to quite like Sobranies but they're English.

So that's what camel toes are. I'd often wondered what they looked like...

I've only just noticed the wild digression this thread has taken. I realise it was a while ago, but I wouldn't want to deprive you all of more camels, Second World War ones this time...

That's really surprising, I never would have expected camels in WW2 on the western side of the Caspian, and not with a russian but an axis unit.

Quite! I wish I had more information on them. The Romanians used literally anything and everything they could get their hands on to fight the Russians, and maintained large non-motorised cavalry formations throughout the war.

I've considered adding some to my FoW army - anyone know where I can get 15mm scale camels?  lol
