  1. What part of 'I agree' don't you understand?
  2. Chamberlain wanted so much to believe Hitler was a gentleman like himself......it blinded him..... I agree. The cuts that Chamberlain as Chancellor was forced to introduce to pay back America for the debts incurred by WW1, left Britain in no shape for another war and he knew that. However, his one saving grace was that despite our relative poverty, as Chancellor in '35 he increased the budget for the RAF. Before the US came in and while we faced Germany alone it was possibly that decision that saved us.
  3. 11th hr.....11th day..........11th month. God what a waste.............. I don't blame Chamberlain trying to avoid another war.
  4. Not a bad idea. I recently re-read a few of the books which are set in the late 50's and early 60's........... Bond drives a souped up Bentley ...he doesn't get his Aston Martin DB3 until Goldfinger. I was struck by just how much has changed socially in those 50 odd years. Post war Britain and America were a very different world. I'd quite like to see what you suggest........But Bond has always been up-dated and in some way reflective of world each film appears in. The current film ended in such a way that, the scene is set, Bond is back..........And raring to go. I'll settle f
  5. Reader beware.......My view of the Bond franchise is wrapped heavily in goodwill and sentiment. Looking back over my 60 years, life had been, exciting, testing and a drudge. But, delicious anticipation has always been a punctuating theme: the next Christmas, the next birthday, England game, World-Cup. The next 'Beatles' or 'Stone's' release......'Ali' fight......Olympics......etc. Well Lads there'll be no more 'Ali' fights or songs from the 'Beatles'.......And maybe for me not many World-Cups, or even birthdays...Who of us can say? But it's not all, 'Doom and Gloom" the Stones are
  6. Just got back from the Noon showing. The cinema was quite crowded.....lot's of old farts like me with their squeezes. Busiest I've seen a Thai cinema since 'Avatar'. I loved it. Lived up to the hype.... for me anyway. I'll see it again on my own in the First Class lounge. Can't believe it was exactly 50 years ago I went with some mates to see 'Dr No'....And that in the very same month 'Love me Do' launched The Beatles.
  7. I heard that they shut down last years Christmas Panto in Bradford... "Jack and the Beanstalk" because the giant couldn't smell anyone.
  8. Why, what else would you notice? You're so coarse Millimeter! It's little, foolish things like a 'smile' that can remind you of someone......so special. How does the song go?..... "The lipstick stains around that old.. french-letter The dose of syphillis that won't... get better The night we.... spewed our rings.........These foolish things......Remind me of you!" Great avatar.........Great smile......OK GREAT TITS!
  9. Well done Toss.......A couple of good ones there.
  10. I love these....have you seen the 'Hitler Gandnam style'? I meant to insert it into another thread but forgot. Old age!
  11. Quite right sorry I feel a complete fool!
  12. Leave him alone. He's one my heroes. He went to the moon FFS!
  13. It reads as true...as believable.........but is it? Can anyone verify this? I've given you a vote 'cause it's funny and I sorta hope he was challenged in this way. A hoax......Still funny though and dammned well written.
  14. True or not they made me laugh! I that's the reason why they were posted I reckon.
  15. Just read this properly. Wonderful !!
  16. I watched all night.......kept putting off going to bed because every match was so riveting. I thought both teams played well. USA won 2 days crushingly so. If not for Poulter on the 2nd day it would have been over. On the last day they were all heroes. Poulter again over the trees and Rose's putt stand out but I'm sure when i watch it all again tonight others will be seen to stand out. USA should understand it was so close...It could have gone either way right up to Tiger. It may finish him though! Hope not. Having seen the ending again I've changed my mind again. Woods was being
  17. "Hamilton has pulled in for som-Tam. Vettle must take his obligatory snooze before the next lap...... Oh dear Button has veered off into soi 6 Looking for another 'cockpit' last we'll be seeing of him today, unless he's left the on-board camera running! That leaves only the Italian on track..... Oops he's just hit a man in a balaclava selling flowers in the road......what's this there are motorbikes on the track traveling the wrong way.....' etc
  18. As someone said to me yesterday "just set some chairs up along Sukumvite between Nua and tai'
  19. I'm really looking forward to this. The USA look too strong this year but you never know. A raucous crowd gees up everyone. Personally, I felt sorry for Hunter Mehan last time.....Glad he lost, but sorry for the bugger in the after-match interview. I'd have liked to see him get another chance........And lose this time too! I'm such a bastard!
