    GB and the EU

    thia is all about Camoron and his cronies trying to gain votes as another election is nigh. it is like the anti hunt thing, they will not do anything about that in case they upset one side or the other, leave or stay in the EU? difficult one, TBH i would say stay in now we are in it up to our necks, whatever we do france ad germany will screw us some way or other, leaving the eu does not mean all the illegals /migrant workers will bugger off overnight, and TBH i enjoy the company of the average man in the street in the EU coutries i have been to. very few places was I not made to feel welcome when i went and tried to join in with them , bars restaraunts etc will welcome anyone that is willing to try and join in with the locals , even if you cannot speak the lingo, (I stayed out of big citys) and also I found the same in scotland. eat haggis drink whisky and mccewans and join in

  9. Longest Nerve In The Body Did you know that in the human body there is a nerve that connects the eyeball to the anus? It's called the Anal Optic Nerve, and it is responsible for giving people a shitty outlook on life. If you don't believe it, pull a hair from your arse and see if it doesn't bring a tear to your eyes.
  10. Oil/fossil fuels will still be needed, to power the power staions to charge these white elephants , solar panesl are useless at night , windmills are useless if the winds stops blowing , to much hype about green energy goes on, There is a village near us that decided to go for al the options windmill solar panels, heat exchangers , they had an open day a couple of years ago, they sat us down and lectured what the costs where, how much they where saving etc, i did a few quick calculaitons in my head, and when he asked if antone had anything to say i said did you workout how longit wil take to pay al this back on savings etc , there was a silence and i said i have roughly worked it out withut any maintenance /replacments of units just on your original costs and calculated savings it will take 180 years, and yuo tell us the windmill only has an effctive life of about 35 years , then came all the spiel about thats not the point etc etc . Oh I have air source central heating, the car farting produces more heat so i feed him pickled onions now , the bloody thing uses immersion heaters to back it up in cold weatther
  11. The importance of an occupation after retirement As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither. Harold Schlumberg is such a person: THIS IS QUOTED FROM HAROLD: "I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?' Well...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whisky into urine. It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling. I do it every day and I really enjoy it." Harold is an inspiration to us all.

    Forums

    This may appeal to anyone who regularly visits web forums (I found it on another forum I visit) How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb? 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed. 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently. 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs. 1 to move it to the Lighting section. 2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section 7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp" 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum 36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs 4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" 18 who trip over each other in their rush to say "repost!" 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. 1 to post a picture of a girl with big tits changing a light bulb
  15. As Cynic says it forms a gooey mes and blocks the system
  16. Do not on any account change to Castrol R or any other castor based oil though, if you want to do that you need to strip everything including the engine and wash away any traces of mineral oil . PS if you want the cassy R smell a teaspoon full in the fuel tank will do that and not do any harm though
  17. If it is good usebale condition with an origianl yam piston £60 sounds resonable to me , phone yuor yam dealer and see how much a new piston alone is yesthere are bargains to be had but they are getting fewer and further between , I sold a complete runni ng suzi X5 motor for £120 not long ago, and the guy came 200 odd miles to fetchit, so i threw the frame in his car as well, as i had no, log book and i tsaved me going to the dump with it the bike had bent forks so i did say check it is not twisted if you do use it , He was highly delighted
  18. Davie A very kind offer there thankyou, as for email address , yes we will not stop you putting it there but what we advise is instead of putting for example [email protected] you use joebloggs"at"whatever.net.com, and say replace "at" with the @ symbol to stopautomated spam collectors finiding your email , or better is just to ask people to pm you
  19. A young boy had just gotten his driver's license and inquired of his father if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son. "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, get your hair cut and we'll talk about the car." The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it. After about six weeks his father said, "Son, I've been real proud. You brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm real disappointed you haven't gotten your hair cut." The young man paused a moment then said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair and there's even a strong argument that Jesus had long hair." To this his father replied, "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?"
