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. For me the problem is: both Sam and his verbal opponent are arguing over texts written hundreds of years after the events in question and after countless edits and then many tran...

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...

Almost 150 countries voted, in a UN Assembly, against Israels attempted jenocide of the Palastinian people. COP 28, in Dubai, suddenly, unexpectedly 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...

Re: Holidays??

We are going away for a few days, only a couple of hours drive from home. We have long wanted to overnight in a cave house. Thousands if people still live in caves in Spain and rent out rooms ... will update you all afterwards.

What was it that was great about service life ?

With hindsight, speaking as a single soldier, l would say 'Freedom' ! l mean we always had food provided and a place to sleep. Our taxes were deducted at source and so we never had to fill in a tax return. Essentially we were free to do whatever we wanted in our time off and the army offered us lots...
