Holidays??

Hi Yall, is everyone on holiday? Where does one go on holiday now in the UK? Blackpool looks like a rundown slum, so that's out!!! Europe looks just as bad and what can one say about the US? I must say the Hawks in Canada chose a great place, for me ruined by the cold and the Trudeaus!! Bill you see...

Re: Libyan Floods

Re: Libyan Floods

Hi Yall, Bill, me being an atheist I would agree with you about what you said in para 3. No great love for the Arabs, though at my age, going on 84, I have a tendency to not generalise. There are good and bad in all cultures. If one looks into the Koran, it's teachings, I think the word is 'demands'...

No doubt the Climate nutters will be blaming it on, what is the latest title for their Theories, Climate Change? They keep changing the title so often after their predictions NEVER, pan out. The news here down ...

Re: New Community Page

Hi Yall, Bill, know what you mean, I have continually gone through mine, and even with the help of Grammarly, I still get punctuation errors. Did you go to a publisher after you finished your excellent telling of the Falklands War? If so, who was the publisher? If not, how did you get it onto the In...

Re: New Community Page

Hi Yall,
