... M1 and M42, two and a half hours to get home from B'ham tonight, unfortunately I have to drive it, mind you it was wet. I wasn't over keen on this years Green so I went blue, I like it.

... re-wiring, which is a PITA, because according to current regs. the newer shittier quality cables are better than the old one's which lasted 60 years without a problem. OK...maybe just one problem..but it was a small one, and I put it out quickly. Soot marks are a bitch to get out though.

Yeah,,,I read about the father/son thing awhile back....might well have been you that posted it. When I was at the DLI museum a few years back...I forget exactly how many VC medals they had...quite a few on display (11??)....most were awarded to medics...those were the guys who went out ...

I remember when we stayed at the guest house on the Somme last year on the way back from Germany the Proprietor who was also a WW1 historian explained, fathers lied about their age to sign up so they could go to the front line to look out for their sons in combat. I think he said the oldest British ...

Key phrase in that link is "may have". The M.O. on that stuff is usually to pass various troop movements...most of which will actually be non-existent units, and to have a few of those actually be real. You can pick out the real ones after the fact, but not before. The Special Air Service ...

... mourning and the millennial vote”, Notebook June 30). It’s us on Facebook posting memes about Little Britain and Pooh and Piglet. We are the 48 — years old as well as per cent. We have small houses and large mortgages. We went to raves and we stopped fighting at football matches. We got very drunk ...

That's the first time I've heard about this lapse in our intelligence.

The war to end all wars..... 100 years later, & we vote by majority to initiate the re-fragmentation of the peaceful European Union. Lest we forget..... I set my alarm to be up for the 730 am 2 minutes silence and pay my respects to the ...

I set my alarm to be up for the 730 am 2 minutes silence and pay my respects to the young and old men who gave up so much for us.

I'm thinking of taking my kids to the Imperial War Museum in London to educated them on the horrific history of WW1 they have a special exhibition.

Me and my best mate did the WW1 battlefield tour last year, the guide obviously showing you where we attacked from and where the thousands died,
harrowing stuff

Good to see that it's being remembered

Actors in uniform have turned up at railway stations up and down the country to represent some of those who fell on the first day

Boris pulls out, just like his father should have done 52 years ago.

and its mind by the time he or she is about 8 years old

So it could take 2 years or more.. that kid is likely to lose it's mother/grandmother when it's 18 years old.

... after. One of the things I like out there is the way they look out for children, be it in the shops, when you're eating or on the bus. A few years ago a little girl ran off form her mum and was heading towards the road. I scooped her up and handed her back. Her mum was grateful. In the UK ...

... 600. I have owned this bike from when it was purchased new in 2004. I have had it serviced every year, but hardly riden it for the last 4 or 5 years, so it needs to go to a new home. I can supply all MOT's to warrant mileage, currently it has 5955 genuine miles, which is unlikely to change ...

Been unstable for years it seems....always 'simmering' but never really addressed...and like Kwacky says, lots of bad people right in the backyard.

... forced-induction-bhp and near equal torque. Suzuki are no where to be seen still having only brought a fancy paint job to the scene in the last 11 years and Yamaha obviously have the R1 and MT10 which will be selling like hot cakes for a few years.
