Just posted this to lengthen the list of verduns at the top of the leader board right now. Humour me folks, I'm in funny mood....full moon season and spring!!!
Why? I like the sound o a load of verduns, whatever or whomsoever they may be
Perhaps however, lets not get too excited about spring just yet, hard theough that may be, there are plenty of nights for frost and even snow yet - grit your teeth and hold your horses - hmm, sounds very uncomfortable that.
Verdun always means suffering to me, both French and German, sorry but The Great War has always had that effect on me. Some of the most savage battles, hand-to-hand in many cases, maybe the worst of the war, even worse than Gallipoli if that can be believed.. Sorry Verdun, just what it invokes.

I thought this thread was going to about collective nouns
- a lad of Verduns, a pack of wolves ..... 
Does 'a load of old Verduns' mean the same as 'a load of old B*****s' from the Fast Show?
