    Its what the Finns would call 'sisu'.

    Sisu Finnish
    Something like a dogged and proud refusal to lie down and be beaten. A good story being of two Finnish soldiers that are pinned down during a war with Russia. "We're outnumbered," one soldier says. "There must be over forty of them, and only two of us." "Dear God it'll take us all day to bury them!?" exclaims the other.

    I think the Finnish joke is better.
    Mr_Deputy and Fatarse like this.
    "Anyone who says that they understand the situation in Vietnam hasn't been briefed properly."

    Excuse please. Excuse please. Excuse please. I have lillies in my dustbin.
    How is it that you are knowing they are being lillies.?
    Because there is not being much room on the inside .......
    Boom tish.

    Excuse please. Excuse please. Excuse please. There is being a police dog in my dustbin.
    How are you knowing it is a police dog?
    Because it was running up the ramp, jumping over the wall and leaping through a hoop that had flames and smoke and then it jumped up on the cart.
    Boom tish.
    It is being in the manner of which I am reciting them. It is resembling a prawn cracker, is it not?
    I used to lead retreats, mate!
