Re: armed forces down to 1930 level

John, the best way to provoke an attack is to let your guard down ! What with the housing shortage, over full schools, over loaded NHS, over burdened Police and fire Services, what better excuse to send a million citizens overseas is there than to have a war ? Governments rarely 'change hands' durin...

Re: That seems to be Some Kind of Climate you are having in Europe!

Here on the Costa Calida in sunny Spain we have had less rain than I have spat out in the past 18 months or so. Nevertheless the spuds that I planted on the 6th of Dec are already knee high and I'm looking for two crops this year ! The storm winds are playing havoc with the trees that we planted and...

Re: Busy night !

Hi Arnie and all, l looked up your Sam ... and listened with interest to how he castrated his opponent with clever words.

Re: Busy night !

Hi all, it's not just the Brits that are pissed off with Brussels - the EU Dictatorship, millions are trying to escape as individuals. RV's of all kinds have become a boom industry. Because many are frightened of towing a sizeable caravan they buy Motorhomes. The not so well off buy Ford Transit siz...

Re: Busy night !

l hear where you are comming from guys, but after 4 years in a mobilehome, on a site, l hope that we have gained enough experience. Any 'site' implies neighbours, their yapping dogs, their parties and their DIY projects. Not to mention the farm workers on the fields opposite and in the surrounding c...

Re: Lest we Forget 'AGAIN'!

Thank you John, l was expecting a snotting for my comments. l honestly don't think one has to be an Antisemite or pro Arab to recognise that what has been going on for decades in the Middle East is as morally and fundamentally wrong as Apartheid was in South Africa. That said l do believe that in bo...

Re: Lest we Forget 'AGAIN'!

What a horribly obnoxious society we have become: "We will remember them", our own dead from previous conflicts. And at the same time sit around whilst lsrael slaughters its neighbours in a desperately unfair fight. I have previously asked on this forum "what is it that charachterises...
