It won't be long before we shall have to call arseholes: rectal orifices. It follows that if they are dribbling rectal orifices they will be talking crap ;). This is happening on your watch guys, you have been too nice, made a perfect world and your children are rebelling. Tearing down statues of on...

Sorry to hear of your loss John,
our sincere condolences send
Bill Bentley & family.

The old year is gone and good riddance ! Wipe off the rust and sharpen your swords, be ready for what comes, there are no pretty promises in the pipeline. Tis better to fight for what is wise and right than to be crushed unseen, unheard. Think not only of yourself, think bigger, think beyond your ow...

Happy to join all of you 'old and bold' slapping one another on the back, keep it up ! Merry Xmas and a safe and healthy New Year to one and all - HAWKS, everywhere. It has indeed been an odd couple of years that we are about to shed off. Let's hope that 2022 sees an end to the insanity. I'm with Pi...

Glad to join you in a toast to Lancashire John. It was a 'Maltas Y Cervezas De Murcia' a very good local beer, sold in litre bottles for 1,19 €. I suspect it's subsidised to combat dehydration and because the water is not nearly as sweet as in the homeland ;). Although born in Manchester, when asked...

Mick, I am much younger, honestly ! It was almost 10 years after the war before I saw the light of day :roll:. Nevertheless up North, and I recall seeing them in London in the '70's, the old Victorian terraced houses, I believe, are still lived in to this day. Some years ago I went to find houses li...

Wow Pinky, you really are going through the files. Are you sure you were not in the Int Corps with Arnie :lol:. The Very first name on the list, Andy Baxter was a good friend of mine. Ex J/RSM and a very fine fellow. From the B&R's he went to the Pathfinders, who's role it was to parachute in be...

There sure was something 'realistic' about those days. I was born in a Victorian mid-terrase, in Gorton, which was knocked down in the early 60's. An outside loo, and air-raid-shelter in the yard and just enough room for the dolly-tub in between. 1 gas lamp in each of the two downstairs rooms, 1 col...

Typical, the North / South divide even stretches to fuel consumption. I recall, as a kid, the parents used to still talk about rationing and how they used to swap soap coupons for 'other coupons' with the Londoners, who had 'hard water' and so needed more soap than we northerners, who had 'soft wate...

John, at this rate all that I can suggest is: move to Spain ! You might remember that back in the 60's lots of old people did exactly that for the same reason: It was cheaper to spend winter in Spain than to pay the heating bills at home. A fully equipped holiday home can be had 'out of season' for ...
