I won't give up until the day I click onto a boxing thread or a coursing thread and my young protege says "you know, there just maybe has been a boxer or two about before I was born that were better than those around today", or " not every Saluki bred coursing dog is a world beater. ". Then, and only then, will I consider my work on here done ! ?? Cheers.

What about the United Kingdom ? Is she not queen of Northern Ireland ? And she wasn't queen of the commonwealth, she was queen of some of the commonwealth countries but by no means all of them, she was Head of The commonwealth. Cheers.

If you want to be really, really pedantic, you could say that when Philip was asked "are you Greek ?" , he replied " no, I'm from Greece, but I'm not Greek ". He was a prince of Greece, but his bloodlines were Russian, Danish, German and British. The good old days when Victoria's descendants decided what were and weren't countries and who would rule them ! ? ? Cheers.

Are you guys not dizzy ? All this going around in circles ? Cheers.

Piezo ignition means it's gas ? Cheers.

Why the hell should it make any difference to the jobsworth c**t ? Its his job to flip burgers and ask "do you want fries with that, sir' ! To many of these twats getting above their station ! ? Cheers.

Not worth it. The scrap man pays by weight, not shape, and the end user will only melt it down to suit their own specifications anyway. Then theres the energy cost and the work and tools, etc to take into consideration. It may look nicer, but it won't be cost effective. Cheers.

I guess it's slightly better than pointing and shouting slowly in English ! ?? Cheers.

I got in a lift at the Freeman hospital in Newcastle with two Fillipina nurses who were chatting away in Tagalog, I joined in with their conversation using my extremely limited tagalish, they were amazed that someone would talk to them in their own, admittedly butchered language, and I'm sure my "kumusta, mabuti, etc got me some preferential treatment ! ? Cheers.

Phillipino's in the Middle East, who I worked with, were on less than half of what westerners were on, but still ten times what the would get at home. It was all supposedly based on "cost of living"; the yanks got more than us, we got more than anyone else. The Philipinos I worked with all had big houses, maids, children in private education back home, but they were the exception, highly skilled and educated. The maids and labourers where not a lot better off, but they were desperate to come. Cheers.

I know mate. Same with Irish nurses. I was in hospital a couple of times in the Middle East, and it was invariably Fillipina or Irish nurses, and very professional they were. My doctor, dentist and vet were all British ! ?? Cheers.

I agree with both your and Dido's posts, but I fear my origional post has been somewhat misrepresented. Japan and Australia aren't developing countries, and there is reciprocal flow of professionals that benefit both of them and the UK Im not sure if India can still be considered a developing country; it is a nuclear power, has a space programme, and recently overtook the U.K. to become the 5th largest economy in the world. As for the Phillipines, I have a god daughter who's mother is Fillipina and worked as a nurse in the Middle East and sent every peso she could back to the Ph

Have you seen the film "Killer Elite" ? Supposedly loosely based on Special Forces in the Trucial States. Shows Feinnes in a slightly different light. Cheers.

Ten days of mourning and they are talking about cancelling all sporting events. The P.M. and Buckingham Palace have confirmed Charles is King, and will be known as King Charles the third. Cheers.
-
It doesn't matter, Charles became king the minute the queen died. The coronation is purely ceremonial. Cheers.

Never really been a royalist, but it's a sad day........

A right wing, black vicar ! Very unusual, he's on GB News regularly, speaks a lot of sense. Cheers.

No offence taken ? Cheers.

I think you'll find lurchers have considerably less health problems than pedigree or designer dogs. Cheers.

A Christian teacher in Ireland has been jailed because he refused to call a boy "they" and insisted on calling him.....well, "him" ! He was suspended but ignored a court order to stay away from the school, so a judge has jailed him. Today, a chaplain at Trent College has been suspended for refusing to join in with an LGBT. "Chant" that he said offended his Christian beliefs . Cheers.

Cheers.

Those bruises on her hands look like they've been putting catheters in. Sadly, I've seen it to many times. Cheers.

Discussing anthropology, quantum mechanics, gamma radiation on THL ? I think I'm in a alternative dimension ! ? ! Cheers.
