Re: Switch on = switch it off ...

Hi Arnie, 'mmm, computer eh, therein lays my weakness ! I'm up to watching things on utube, but they also have adverts, shorter but more frequently and then in Spanish. l have found a few old favoirites like 'Only fools and Horses', Porridge, Les Dawson, Bernard Manning, Billy Connolley and they mak...

Switch on = switch it off ...

I'm guessing that English TV works on the same principle as German TV: the better a programme is the longer and more frequent the adverts are. l used to flip from one chanel to the next until l found somewhere without adverts. More recently this has become a waste of time, because it seems that THEY...

Re: Greasy bastards !

Pinky, l guess ones attention is more required when the vehicle costs a small fortune. My first car, actually Jeff Ellison and l each chipped in 15 quid and bought it from Dave Whip for 30 quid. It was a 2¼ liter monster that got us from Tidworth to Manchester a couple of times before blowing up. It...

Re: Greasy bastards !

Greasy bastards !

When you get your car serviced do you just go to the garage then pay the bill ? Being tight, and a former Tankie, l tend to do the simple stuff myself. Oil change, no problem ... you think. It's a fucking science discovering the right oil for any engine these days ! Her Range Rover needs Castrol 0W-...

Re: Worried about Ginge and Winge?

Arnie, who's John ? l guess there's a lot going on in the tit and tampax Press, but because l don't read any of it l'm clearly missing something. My memories of Prince Harry are those of a serviceman that, by all accounts, did his job well. His legacy for helping injured service personel and his Inv...

Re: A friend ?

He just mailed me, he's not happy with the care or treatment in Berlin. l didn't mention yet, he's a Yankee. So he's booked an air ambulance to the States, their best hospital. lt'll cost him a house and more, but that's the cost of life. Switzerland would have been closer, Holland was ... down hill...
