Re: 19-20th May Almeria with BBS

Re: What you watching?

... III with Sir Ian McKellern, set in a facist state in the 1930's. It was Shakespeare Jim, but not as we know it..... and yes, I was surprised there were no Klingons on the starboard bow included. Completely bonkers, but brilliant adaptation.

Re: Insurance company caught out

... change, I can't help but suspect (from reading the article ) that this may actually be a case of a claim that they "knew" was fraud, but were simply struggling to prove it.? I have very little love for insurance companies, but I detest those scammers with a vengeance.

Re: Chihuahua or muffin?

... Couldn't agree more, it's horrible I watched a program a while back about dog breeds and one of them was to do with the British Bulldogs, they were very fit dogs nothing like how they are now, it really makes you sad/ angry when you think about it they are bred to have these problems now.

Laying here I can here all the motorbikes zooming around the hills...I would love to find these roads they are enjoying!!

Shoreham airshow crash enquiry

It appears there were some quiet shocking lapses in standards and assessments, not just for this show but airshows in general. When you have planes pulling stunts over crowds and built up areas, surely you should do some very strict ...

Re: Free IAM Taster Sessions

I've been put off this by the feedback i had from a colleague who went with the local group.
