  1. There is a big military school in downtown Roswell New Mexico USA, I passed it every day going to work, they even have a 1000 yard shooting range with grenade throwing pits. Get a swap organised, my pal here sent his son over to a Michigan school for 9 months, really made him.
  2. What is it with your writing? It never makes any sense to me.
  3. So you have to pay for the NHS even when you will not use it (insurance scheme?) and when you need it it is not available. Amazes me the praise that this service still gets. I pay 136 Euros per month here and if I have a problem I can choose my specialist then arrange to be seen ASAP and no waiting lists worth talking about.
  4. Wondered ref your PW name, are you perhaps an ex draughtsman?
  5. Would a caravan chassis not be a possibility? No horse p ee to worry about.
  6. My daughter is a German national so we will have an interesting playoff next week.
  7. Bought a lot at auctions over the years the last one in 2019 had the sellers fees added to the sale hammer price hidden in the legal pack which upped the cost by £7K. Only house I have ever lost money on when I resold it.
  8. £3 17 shillings and sixpence in 1965 take home pay as apprentice, cant get half a pint with that now.
  9. The Scots don't know how to eat a Mars bar but Jagger does.
  10. Most cars and planes are designed using a CAD system called CATIA. I was called by a hiring agency woman looking for designers and she asked me if I knew CAT 1 A.
  11. Wot eye dont *** is every typin aror gets a spoolchecker popoop.
  12. We had a Chinese woman non stop in Cantonese on a bus trip from Stansted to Sheffield I wanted to strangle her at the end.
  13. Just wondering when do they go from being overpriced metal to becoming just the scrap value? My 2004 Hyundai Terracan all was working sold for £1500 just over 3 years ago.
  14. I think you misunderstood my meaning because the police normally attend non bomber driven events and they seem to shoot to kill and never just to wound/disable to de-escalate the situation hence my cynical chair leg comment.
  15. In all the police shootings in the UK has the perp/victim depending on if they were sitting on the tube or carrying a chair leg or actually wearing a bomb vest, ever first given some return fire to the police officers involved? It seems there is now a culture of neutralizing first and ask questions later among those at the top. But ref this terrorist incident I am fully behind the officers involved. How they were appraised so quickly of the situation when driving there would interest me.
  16. Scuse my ignorance but what does "the lardiest nation in Europe." mean?
  17. Almost sure to be a single wall house at that age with the shot damp proof course to boot. We were about to rip the downstairs crapp y floorboards out and put in an insulated underfloor heating concrete membrane on one wreck we bought for 132K in 2018 but I sold the house before starting the work as we could not get the trades to commit to doing the works, sold it for 112K end of 2020, you live and learn. Council tax is zero if the kitchen and bathroom are non existent for the first year then it rockets to double the normal yearly price afterwards to push renovations forward.
  18. We had roof mounted solar water heaters installed which transfer the so gained heat BTUs into the hot water tank 15 years ago, it developed a leak after 13 years and the government here Bavaria had a grant scheme to upgrade then anyway so we had it renewed for almost free. In summer it really cranks up the hot water systems temp to uncomfortable levels where you need lots of cold water added to make a shower do-able.
  19. I was born in Hartlepool Road Coventry so I always watch events oop there with interest but Labour seems to be a bit confused with their social engineering agenda and Saville Row suited men of the people.
  20. The female Raleigh workers were fair game in the clubs around the Midlands when I was a young buck. They were known as bikes!!!!!!!!!
  21. Thats him, another poor sod, there was a state of emergency in the minds of the police at the time during the 2007 bombings as I remember. I had enough of those in the 70s as my local pub was The Tavern in the Town, Birmingham.
