    Compensation?

    I wonder how much compensation the farmer received for loss of build’s/stock and income from those 2 incidents. He’s probably a millionaire now.

    For this sort of crime, a good birching will leave lasting memories to deter further offenses to the public at large. No cost involved, the victim could apply the birch.

    Just finished a privately published bio of Harry Jennings. A lad from the east end of London who wanted to fly and became an air gunner during WW2. He later joined the police and became quite well known and finally emigrated to South Australia and started a security company just down the road from where I live.

    Called ‘Cop That Young ‘Arry’ I got it from the local library.

    The latest observation of singular silliness from around the world.

    Left hand/right hand, authority-wise?

    Exact opposite here in South Australia. You get fined for actually watering the garden during drought conditions. Many a nice garden was ruined a few years back when we had a real hot/dry summer.

    I usually skip this thread ’cause I’m not into hard rock etc. How-ever, I thought I might as well post a video that I’m personally linked to. The artist is my wife’s nephew.

    I was unfortunate enough to see the bad side of Bader when I was in the RAF and he was living on his past ‘glories’ and thought himself to be God. Since then, I’ve met several pilot who flew with him and they all say the same. He had no people skills at all, was very arrogant and not a nice man at all.
    Was he a good pilot, no, he got shot down several times. His only good idea was the new concept of wing men rather than every man for himself.
