Marmite!!

They said the same thing a couple of years ago http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1602670,00.html

May be we should of sent then back all those Jeeps & we could of paid the debt of a couple of years early ;-)

Oh dear, I seem to have arrived rather late :oops:

 

Well on the subject confectionery, how have jelly babies been used to enhance the effectiveness of a particular weapon?

 

You mean a bit like this Clive, my Son showed me this one as he did it in chemistry a few weeks ago.. it's good to know they still teach some useful stuff at some schools :roll:

Clive,

they started doing that about a month ago, mainly on the Vehicle auctions at first but now it's spreading to other auctions, I don't like it as you can't see if the price is being pushed up by their mates.. Shill bidding http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/seller-shill-bidding.html

This is eBay's reasoning..

As online shopping evolves, eBay continues to focus on preserving our marketplace's open and level playingfield whilst protecting our Community of members. We have decided to change how bid history information is displayed so unscrupulous people cannot target bidders with fake offers using this information. In certain cases, some bidders will no longer be able to see other bidder's User IDs on the listing page. Your User ID will be shown only to you and the seller of the item you're bidding on. Other members will see an anonymous name, such as Bidder 1, Bidder 2 etc.

The sign from this base is for sale on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BATTLE-OF-BRITAIN-STATION-RAF-TANGMERE-SIGN_W0QQitemZ160065840332QQihZ006QQcategoryZ585QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

but it's handy to know that at only 7.5t, at a pinch a Landy or my pickup could pull a CVRT.

 

But what about stopping

K = Pay book

U = Belt

Y = Wash bag

:dunno:

& a Merry Christmas to you Rowan

A tail guard :dunno:

inflatable lifting jack :dunno:

A very small dinghy :dunno:

60's :?

Yes, I have and as there is only about 12 with problems reported out of over 500, that was my point.

 

Yes but that could be said about the Forum in general with the same dozen or so members being the only ones to post regularly out of the 500..

The WW2 Forum still has problems now & then & they are using the same server/host..

Camel-Bak / Drinking bladder :dunno:

Strange, I do not get any of these Forbidden or Error messages. It is just slow, but put that down to my computor and still being on dial up.

 

 

 

You wait until you get a new computer without valves then the problems will start :-)

Mae West

 

What's she got to do with it :dunno:

WW2 Lifebelt :dunno:

Yep, it's been bad the last few days

He had one up for sale on eBay this year, didn't reach the reserve..

Me and TR are just sorting out the trip shedule, and depending on who is Defo coming, as we dont wanna cover stuf we have already..

 

But if its mostly new people we may.. But there are a few more Deepshelters to be done.

As well as Western heights.

 

Im sure there is easy a whole day...

 

looking forward to it

 

Doesn't bother me if we have to cover some old ground.. :-D

 

(Lee - heard from Terry in Kent today - apparently he has "the ideal vehicle for some one my size" :whistle: )

 

 

So you ae going to take your test on a Dozer then ;-)

Richard,

Is there a book or website on the history Chilwell Depot? It is right near to where I live (I drive past it all the time) so would be interested to read a bit more about it. Sadly there is not much of it left anymore, but we do get convoys of HETs with Challenger 2s driving past every now and then. ;-)

Is that because it was an old battle-axe driving the car that hit you???? :evil: :evil:

 

No.. she was in her 20's.. there was a 6month old baby sitting in the back where the damage was.. the old biddy was in the front pasenger seat

Would look better without the accident damage! :tongue:

 

It's ok that's Battle damage :roll:
