Re: Israeli/Iran Conflict

Arnie, & all, Sir Winston Churchill said: "History will be kind to me, because l intend to write it". Rather well put and oh so true ! So it is almost pointless us going back a thousand years and more and discussing what might have been, based upon documation; because the winner of any...

Re: Israeli/Iran Conflict

Hi Arnie & all, l do not doubt or dispute your knowledge of the recent history of the region. But the poor Arab tribesmen of the previous couple of centuries, which we Europeans have always persecuted, are now some of the richest countries/ peoples in the world. Their open hatred of us lnfidels ...

Re: Switch on = switch it off ...

There have been a few good attempts at fun ad's, but the PC Brigade get them banned. If it ain't foreign, queer or disabled they won't allow it. One could be forgiven for thinking there aren't any white, hetro, healthy europeans left in Western Europe. So l guess you guys, being as far away as possi...

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-...
