    There was a confirmed 200 Jewish fatalities, but possibly as many as 400. 200 is roughly 10% of the total number that died. Jews make up 10% of New York's population. "The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion" were fake, and so was the Jewish 9-11 conspiracy. Cheers.

    In 1983, terrorists bombed the US Marine barracks in Beirut, then Reagan invaded Grenada, go figure, as the yanks say. ? Cheers.
  7. That's got a really nice head, but I'm not that keen on the legs and rock. Just the head mounted would look good in my man cave ? Cheers.
  8. Generally thought to have Spanish ancestry, not African ? Cheers.
  9. I remember the President of Pakistan complaining to the King of Saudi Arabia about Pakistan workers being called TCN's, ( third country nationals), and "Pakis". The King replied " You come to work in Saudi, for American companies, from Pakistan, so you are TCN's, you are called Pakis, just as the English are called Brits, therefore I reject your complaint ! Common sense, I thought. Cheers.
  10. Ask anyone from Newcastle about such lovely named places as Cowgate, Daisy Hill, The Meadowell ! ? ! Cheers.
  11. Wasn't it supposed to have been a faulty 'fridge that started the fire ? I lived in the third world, ( oops, not supposed to say that, should be "developing world" ), and when you see the electrical installations, you can guarantee it will be overloaded and will start a fire ! Outlets with multiple appliances plugged in, bare wires pushed into outlets, if a fuse blows, just put a bigger one, or a nail, in, that'll do ! I'm in no doubt that such a scenario will have contributed to the Grenfell disaster. Cheers.
  12. When we were moved out to the suburbs during the 1950's slum clearances, there were 15 storey flats on the estate, and many people specifically asked to be housed in them. And why not ? They had indoor plumbing and toilets, central heating, electricity, and even lifts ! People thought they were just like the Americans in New York they seen on those new fangled telivisions that were now becoming readily available ! Sadly, over the years they were neglected, people moved out, illegal immigrants, problem families, drug dealers, moved in and they went from bad to worse, lifts broke
  13. Weren't a lot of these high rises covered in cladding to " beautify" them, with no regard to the safety aspect ? Cheers.
  14. Not nit-picking, but the onions would be better in a net bag or hung up not bagged. Better air circulation. Cheers.
  15. "If you hear hoofbeats, assume horses, not zebras". Unless, of course, you live on the Serengeti....... Cheers.
  16. With onions, stick to "Occams Rule"; the simplest answer is usually the correct one; hang onions in a cool, dark, ventilated place, and they will last a long time ? I dont grow patatoes because the effort/reward ratio is to big, just buy as needed. Cheers.
  17. Just hit 30 today, and no breze. Walked the two old dogs and the pup 1/4 mile to the Allotments and they are knackered ! Cheers.
  18. Not cooking, but a good accompaniment to food. Cider, white wine, red wine. Cheers.
  19. Another cheesecake. This time with Bourbon biscuit and Terry's chocolate orange. Cheers.
  20. I think I'd be changing my vet......... Cheers.
  21. "I'm into sadism, bestiality and necrophila...am I flogging a dead horse ?" Cheers.
  22. A blue hare, Just changing into white, being coursed and caught by a "gangly legged plodder" in the Cairngorms; A bit of sport, nothing more. Cheers.
