  1. Animals have to much sense to care about such things. Anyway, cats particullarly Siamiese know their top of the food chain. Since when did a cat wait on you?
  2. SSh! Don't tell! They'll all be after it! :-D
  3. Yes mate. New Zealand rug is a generic name for canvas waterproof rugs. Flexalan or Hydrophane are the main manufacturers.
  4. With the buses, it is considered that a crack or split in the side wall is fine as long as none of the tyre wall threads are showing.
  5. Gibson named his dog because it was a black Labrador. At that time Gay meant happy and carefree, Robertson's used a Golliwog trade mark, and the badges were much collected. As for American attitudes to black people at the time, just do some basic checking into US Armed forces history. Britian was the enlightened country at the time, unless you were Welsh or Irish. It's called history and social change. Who knows what will be made of our comments in ten years, let alone fifty or sixty. Think of the attitude to couloured shirts for men and long hair in the late 1960's. (Not to mention the effect of Hot Pants and Mini skirts on impressionable youths of that era! )
  6. Just insist, NO high heel shoes. Messes up the paint work something awful! Any way, theres a chance to get in the good books! Buy her a new iron! Next birthday/anniversary present solved!
  7. So how many seats? Would you need a H licence and a D licence? Also the ***** waste of space CPC now to drive for hire and reward.
  8. L.S.T. ? When the rotor for La Collete power station came over to Jersey on an L.C.T. in the sixtes it was from Havant.
  9. Sorry Andy, already looking for a Womble cart, just cant't find one in Camo!:-D When you get to forty life feels at an end, then you get to Fifty , and end up on SAGA's mailing list, after that.. Ah Sod it!:-D
  10. Do we have 'ageism' creeping in here? I'll start complaing :angry
  11. Hey well in Jersey schools your not supposed to say the Germans occupied the Island! :banghead:
  12. Yeah I can see the attraction. Clamp that you B*****! You could sell tickets watching the Traffic Wardens trying to tow it away! OHH I'm getting to like the thinking! :cool2:
  13. Every one here now know what pictures I'm going to post! :-D
  14. I see the anguish though. There looks to be a lot of usable spares there if nothing else.
  15. Be intrested to know how? I live on the edge of the LEZ, literally in for two hundred yards out for two hundred yards. The situation is ridiculos. Actually there was a blinged up FV432 for sale recntly all kitted out, and don't forget that HMVF perinial, the blinged up Ferret! Seriously a 432 is a major maintince headache. What about an ex military ambulance? That would take less people but goes down well on the Hen Night market. My 101 ambulance did that duty for a friend once. I had to fight people off asking if it was for hire.
  16. Two with NDC and one with sand tyres.
  17. No what we will see is a load of CGI. Probably in 3d. Oh yawn, When will the film makers come up with something new? Remember TRON, and 3d TV programmes as a kid. Special glasses supplied in Radio Times!

    Saxon

    Surley then a Saracen would be more correct. Variuous US Police agencies use those, also I belive a couple of Pigs.
  19. Central London traffic is bad I know. But if you did get a 432 it would have to be a petrol one, any disiel would fall foul of the LEZ. If there are arguments over Land Rovers, you have no chance. There are various by laws applying in London Bouroughs about 'Tanks'. Also to avoid congestion charge your only hope would be to be a licencened mini cab. Good luck on insurance for that one.
  20. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5301998.stm Two mistruths in the first couple of lines. As there were Australian's and New Zealanders, plus South Africans involved , who gives a monkeys about American PC. Actually when you consider the language in some of the American TV shows shown on British TV, I don't know wether to laugh or cry. Actually what comes to mind is a few years back when British Soldiers were held hostage in Africa, by as the BBC insisted 'The West Side Boys'. A book by one of the soldier's involved states that this drove thier captors wild, their name for them selves was the 'West Side Niggas'.
  21. Welcome, if you own a Dodge, all sins forgiven!
  22. Welcome Ales. There are a number of us intrested in WW1 here. The mountain war on the Italian/Austrian border isn't well known in UK.
