  1. I had three years of living in Roswell and there were no little green men, they were actually large red women!! I know it is true because I read it on the official office noticeboard.
  2. Cortisone is supposed to be the wonder healing content of badger fat. Shot a couple in autumn but disposed of them as normal here in Germany fully legal BTW.
  3. Taking the knee or is it the pee?
  4. I remember very well the farewell greeting at work in the UK was often "don't work too hard". Where will all these nose to the grindstoner"s appear from? It is a great dream to make Britain just like the USA great again but many other hungry countries have taken up the baton and without state aid like China does UK will never build up to the old days again. So see I the future. There needs to be a new take on what the UK can do best and then go hell for leather for it. Nice dream I know.
  5. Well before I left the UK in 2002 I lived in Deal, Kent so I guess now I am a no deal man.🤣
  6. No that cannot be right, the German company will export the product MwsT (Vat) free, then when it arrive on UK"s land there will be added UK Import duty and Vat. That"s how a lot of yanks come to Germany buy a car tax free and use it for their vacation here then they ship it to the USA which was in on the price they paid, then they have to pay USA import duties.

    I flew into Frankfurt from Argentina on economy 1996 and was booked on a first class seat on to Heathrow so looking forward to it I asked where is the f/class lounge? "out of the airport and over the bridge" was the answer from a Lufthansa desk clerk what!! said I, "yes it is to give the wealthy some exercise" was the smarmy reply. That did Lufthansa for me. Never again

    I heard this joke was told in Ford Colognes design centre by a visiting British engineer.

    Was he a car park engineer?
  10. How many mummies were blocking the roads visibility with their cars? Unbelievable where I am at school leaving times, it gives the kids far less safe exits. Hope he gets well quick as most young uns do.
  11. I worked my *** off for nigh on 50 years and now own 9 houses so what gravy train are you meaning?
  12. I am well over Brexit twit. This was an informative heads up for the great unwashed on here about what is happening outside of the bbc"s persistent covid reporting to the exclusion of most other news. I have lived in Germany now fulltime since 2002 and on and off have worked over there the same as many UK brickies did since 1973, I was working in a different trade though. My main home will never be the UK again and you can blame my Irish grandmother and Canadian father for blocking in me a blind patriotism for England. I try to see a bigger picture of the world without allowing petty nationalism to fog it up. Amazing how some readers read something into a post that is not intended. I just thought folks on PW would like to know how lockdown is affecting travel for one and two the amazing number of trucks needed to keep UK fed/clothed and supplied with electronics from wherever. My UK residence is in Dover so the impact is starting to become apparent down there with the massive truck jams expected in 2021 Dover BTW voted leave.
  13. I went back to Germany through Dover Eastern docks yesterday on the 4am ferry and there is a huge TV screen located in the parking area doing advertising for P&O & DFDS plus the ports info (the port info stated that on Thursday 19th Nov they trafficked 4499 trucks, 114 cars and 8 buses through the port). I just thought it would bring some reality to what we actually import to support our needs, it did not break down as to if the trucks that had left were full of exports or empty. Of course the lockdown was the cause of the few cars shown. I wanted to see the number of dinghies they landed but that was missing.
  14. Everybody"s attempt at humour is different. I have educated myself later up to be able work as an engineer.
  15. Maybe derogatory was too hard a word but my alphabet is limited as I did not get the Boris skool privilege.
  16. Just pointing out that national stereotype phrases cuts both ways, The PC woke world will normally not allow using words that we grew up with to be used these days. Ho hum.
  17. The Tavern was my Saturday place to go and they bombed it on the Thursday. There but for the grace of as they say I was 24 then. ********. ********
  18. My other had really bad pains for weeks and was checked on 23rd Dec she went in on 25th Dec last year and they called the doc"s back from the pudfest and took her gallbladder out and fitted stents which now have to be replaced every 3 months, she is tougher than I am but she did suffer.
  19. Yelling Ye ha, as Slim Pickens did dropping out of the plane sitting on the A bomb. The Germans call us island monkeys FYI so being derogatory goes both ways. Stay safe.
  20. It is not to protect me wally, they are worn by all to protect all others from your droplets, I am 70 and take it more seriously, than you. I live in Germany with 85 million and 10K dead, you are in a 65 million country with 50K dead so do the math on that, respect others as the Germans do, they call the cops if people will not comply (don"t try the nazi comment route) . If you do not agree then go to learn the facts in a medical university when they will allow you but only if you have the A levels to qualify though.
  21. You can"t educate pork, sadly.
  22. Think how peoples heads spin round when someone coughs into their mask in a supermarket now? I see too many in Morrisons/Tesco/JS refusing to even wear masks here in east Kent. Morons without any respect IMO.
  23. All the Cummings and goings are leaving me confused.
  24. Pfizer shut down their huge facility in Sandwich Kent around 2011, so now where will it be produced? Devastated the economy and the areas employment back then.
