No. You're not being serious.
I think Venezio means the avatars. I don't have the skill or the knowledge to to tell him how to do it. But you all have.
If it's the avatar, please, somebody tell him how to do it.

Yes I know. That's what I was trying to say. An ordinary fireman is heroic enough but a military fireman who might be attempting to control a fire in an aircraft filled with fuel and maybe bombs and things that might go off has to be somebody special.
Well, I think most of them are. Not just firemen. All of them

Shireen,
No, not aggressive - just conversational. We go to Australia every couple of years and we have never seen anything but courtesy and friendliness in any of the people we have met.
As far as we can see there is absolutely no anti-british feeling there. "Where is Yorkshire (they pronounce it York Shyer). Is it anywhere near Lanca Shyer?"
A couple of years ago the Australian people were asked in a referendum whether to keep the Queen as Head of State and they voted to keep the Queen.
No, the question wasn't aggressive. It was conversational. I din't react to it.

Have you just started this year? I suppose you must have done if you left the RAF to have the baby who is now just seven months, yes?
If you were my daughter I would be doing all in my power to help you carry on at university. Three (or maybe four?) years might seem a long time and missing so much of your baby time but it really isn't all that long and the benefits of higher education are immense.
Your entire family will benefit from your degree. You have to make up your own mind, I know that, but I think you should do whatever you can to carry on with your studies.
Best Wishes

This is not a rant. Just a comment.
I don't have "free" access except during the day or I would have commented in the Leeds Lad thread. "What's happening to the country?" or something of this sort.
We were in Australia in 1999 and in conversation with an Australian we were asked if it was not time that the British left Ireland.
I hadn't the heart to answer but I thought the question was a bit much coming from a white man living in Australia.
Sorry. I don't expect a reply. Delete this if you want.

DAMN - how do you do that? You just say "listen again" or "click here" and magic happens. That's a rhetorical question. I wouldn't understand the answer
Bilko's name is "Ernest G Bilko". This is the sort of trivia question I like. What is the "G" for? I won't give the answer because I don't know it. Does anybody?

I did listen.
It came as a suprise to me that the last Bilko show was recorded in 1959. Even now I will try to watch the programme and it hadn't occurred to me that I have never seen one in colour. It's a rare treat to come across one I haven't seen before but I will happily rewatch any of them.
The characters were so well crafted that one interviewee said " I was talking to Dluane Doberman" Pause. "Can't remember his name"
I think there was a Steve Martin film about Bilko - I have never watched more than a few minutes of it.
Anyway, I enjpoyed it. Coming out of retirement, Sarge?

I thought this was going to be an encyclopaedia of triva and I've gone right through it - fortunately nothing else to do - and find it's mostly about sex. What do you think this is? A swinging site?
So I'll introduce a note of sanity.
I know why the Canary Islands are called the Canary Islands.
It's because when sailors first visited them they found a lot of dogs there.
I like that sort of trivia. (But I like sex too)

Didn't realise I was so susperstitious!!!
Nothing wrong with being superstitious. Every precaution should be taken. Try to sacrificice a virgin just before taking the exam.
Well I can see that is not really practicable - but best of luck.
CA? You going to be an accountant?

PS I hope your hubby gets better soon
Thanks for that. He's not my hubby but is the long-term number one boyfriend. I have a daughter at home and he's not keen to live at my house and I can't leave my daughter until she feels able to fend for herself. We rub along ok.
Thanks

This is just a tiny little rant. But if i strikes a chord then so be it.
My poor man is a bit ill so I did him a chicken yesterday, cooled it in the fridge overnight and took it to him this morning. By the way - this is the third weekend I've spent alone and I don't like it.
On the way I stopped to talk to a shopkeeper I know slightly. She was washing her shop window. I didn't want to stop so said something like I wouldn't keep her from her work but she did want to talk. Somebody had thrown discarded take away food at her window and she was washing it off. She pointed out to me that somebody had also uprooted a nearby litter bin.
Apparently these bins are not too difficult to uproot. They are made a bit delicate so that if you drive into it, it falls over so that your car, and you, are not damaged. But it allows vandals to have a go at them.
Carrying on up the road there are two or three small terraces of rather nice houses. Too expensive for me but, by conincidence I suppose, three or four of them are for sale. All the "For Sale" signs had been unprooted or damaged.
Now what I want to know is why people - presumably young people - do these things.
It has been said to me that I'm getting older and that older people have always said that the young are badly behaved. I don't believe this. In the 26 years I have lived here I have seen more and more shops feeling the need to put up shutters. If behaviour was getting no worse then business people would not go to the expense of fitting these shutters. Probably not cheap.
So I thought I'd ask any youngish people here why it goes on. Then I thought that anybody intelligent enough to be here isn't going to be doing that sort of vandalism anyway.
Just a little rant.

I haven't seen "Women on Top" but I do have Nancy Friday's "My Secret Garden. Women's Sexual Fantasies". Like so often when I see a thread like this I go to my bookcase and I was surprised to see that it was published in 1973.
If you can still get a copy - well what can I say - I like it and I go back to it time after time.

I've been watching this and I'm a bit bored waiting for a computer technician to call so I thought I'd put this in.
I'm a big fan of "one pot" cooking. I do a very tasty corned beef hash. When I do a more traditional meat and veg then I tend to do it in the oven all at once. That's like "one-pot" as well, yes?
But somewhere in this thread I was irresistably reminded of P G Wodehouse - I've just been to look it up:
"I was so darned sorry for poor old Corky, I didn't have the heart to touch my breakfast. I told Jeeves to drink it himself."

I didn't have a bad childhood. Quite idyllic really. But now into middle-age (early middle-age) and I can look back to more years behind than in front then I have to recognise that every year I have lived has been better then the year before.
I just have to hope that the trend continues.

Ric (and Alex),
I do have other stories - but some of your own maybe? All I wanted to do was show that there are things you can do even if you don''t have much money.
However, there is one thing. You need time. The ferry fare might be - well is - too large if you just cross the channel for a week. But if you are away for two months or more then it isn't such a large cost, yes? Don't forget, expenses at home are much reduced and there might be ways of reducing ferry costs. We have a discount scheme with Brittany Ferries and we get a third off. If you buy P and O shares, you can get a discount there too.
We are both retired. That's early retirement, yes? I'll say it again. That's early retirement. But we couldn't do what we do if it was just for a fortnight - the travel costs would be prohibitive.
To everybody who has responded, Thank you. I might just tell one or two more tales.

As you can see, I still haven't got the hang of this scanner.
But this will probably be my last post in this thread. I've just been trying to give a bit of information about how people on low income, like us, can travel a bit.
Now in a motor caravan you have four main problems. The first is obtain fresh water.
Then you have to get rid of stuff. Like empty beans tins, pizza wrappings, and that sort of stuff. The technical term for this rubbish is "rubbish"
Then you have to get rid of dish-water, washing water, vegetable water, shower water. The technical term for this is "gray water". Because it's water and it's gray.
Then there's something else. The technical term is "S**t".
Now, if you are in France there is not problem. There are about two thousand or more of these service points. You can get fresh water, empty the loo and get rid of waste water. Mostly they are free though yo might have to pay for the water. You can also get electricity but we make our own.
So if you want to travel I would recommend a motor caravan. Living can be cheap.

Generally, we go away for quite a long time every year. If you are on holiday then you can do new and unusual things. Dine out every night, party, generally live it up. But when you are away for a long time it's the ordinary things you miss.
We take things with us. Oxo cubes, tinned beans, some powdered milk but we don't use much of that and one or two other things as well.
There's a gap in every day and it's between your evening meal and bedtime. On holiday you can fill it by going out - but not if you're away for five or six months.
We used to take a VCR and play a film every night. But for the last three or four years - we have a satellite dish and sky television. So when people say "Do you miss Eastenders", I say that I don't and I don't miss Emmerdale, Corrie, Holby City or Casualty either. Because we watch them. Even Tom - though he pretends he reads a book while I watch them.
