  1. I heard that SE London took the brunt of the V1 & V2 attacks because British Intelligence deliberately issued false damage reports making the Germans think they were hitting the docks & central London instead - they didn't know that their rockets were actually falling short of their intended targets. Anyone know if this is true?
  2. Had a bostin night out thanks everyone x

    My sincere condolences and a very appropriate choice of poem. If I meet you at the forum drinks we'll drink to Sean and all his fallen comrades and the families and friends they have left behind. RIP.
  4. ...and before each visit I usually went for a drink at the pub around the corner - The Bunch of Grapes, I think it was called.
  5. Oh I don't know about that Kato.... ok, inside was quite small - it was always a bit of a squeeze to move around - but I quite liked that, it made it quite special.
  6. BBW - you always like to poke your nose in, don't you!
  7. Sorry to hear its gone. I'll never forget the first time I entered Rimworld - I was in there for hours.
  8. Well done emc et al for making it happen - looking forward to meeting you all at the next one.
  9. I'm up for this one - see you at Franklins....

    Dear Antijen, You work with originality And often quite creatively, That's as obvious to me... As that big bump in your belly! (Best wishes by the way)

    Nice work Antijen - is it your own?
  15. > a link to iTunes if you feel like actually > buying (!!!!) music (in this day and age?) I've just bought a new model and am a complete novice, having never even owned an ipod before. So, excuse me for seeming dim, but how do you get the music without paying for it? I'm loving the iphone by the way, great pics, video and I'm learning new tricks every day.
  16. Hi emc - you're right, I can't do Sunday, so hopefully next time I'll be free. Have a great time everyone.

    Very good PR! I remember such phrases during my time in the US back in 1980. Happy days.

    If my time should come unexpectedly, Mourn for me, Remember me. And know that some things Are just meant to be. For the families.
  19. 9/11 - Home from a night shift and slept through as it was happening. Woke to find a message on my ansaphone from a workmate telling me how awful something was and how he can't believe it's happened. Puzzled, I put TV on in time to see the 2nd tower collapsing. I remained there for the rest of the day, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Jacko - in hotel room in Palm Springs California, got a text from friend back in UK asking if its true about Jacko having heart attack. I put local TV on to see live images from helicopter showing huge crowd of people running outside the hospital where he'd been taken. They were heading for the main entrance where the formal announcement of his death was expected to take place.
  20. Yes Brendan. Never trust a cat that meows it loves you.
  21. Sorry to hear of your unpleasant experience Daizie. Sophie's probably right but either way they need to be identified and corrected in the error of their ways, before it gets more serious.
  22. Seeing that photo has given me flashbacks to this morning's incident... I may need counselling.
  23. The hand sign with the single middle digit raised, nothing to do with the Facebook meaning!
  24. I had problems with my external aeriel even after it was extended 10 feet. The problem with my location is Dawsons Heights interferes with the signal from Crystal Palace. My solution was to get freesat. Picture perfect every time.
