Go compare drives me insane, Like Spitfireman I find all these injury claims ones even worse.
If your daft enough to use the wrong tools for the job you don’t need compensation, You need your head testing. Our claim culture takes the p$$s.

Also have a problem perfume adverts at Christmas not sure why but they annoy the hell out of me.

Lee Mack does a great sketch on this, ending with “TELL US WHAT IT ********** SMELLS LIKE!!!”

hasn’t something like 911 or 111 been trialled in a few regions but scrapped due to again a lack of funding by the government.

I believe 911 works on UK mobiles, and has done for some time.
111 was trialed in my area, but for anti social behavior issues in the town centres. Don’t know if it’s still going on.

Many aircraft of 60’s 70’s had a Spare engine Pod option. It was indeed for carrying their own spares around.

I’m sure I’ve seen (At LHR) DC8’s, 707’s, Saturn AW Hercules (At Manchester).
I think I’ve seen that VC10 too, the photgraph sparked a memory chip in me. But it may be auto-suggestion, maybe I’ve seen that picture before.

Well, I like football. I don’t go anymore because I can’t afford it.
I like the World cup. I like the Olympics (Warm or Cold).

But the issue here is the rigging and bentness of the FIFA committee. The decision is not based on merit, which it is actually supposed to be. And that French idiot Blatter has to go. He’s taking more brown envelopes than any of them.

At least Borris has stood firm and cancelled the free Hotel rooms the FIFA c’tee were to be given for the 2012 Olympics.

12 aeroplanes.
You can sort out the Cessnas.

Dark background uses more ink?
Anecdotally……
I was part of a big experiment in school in 1960plonk. Several dozen schools took part. They were messing with the colour of Blackboards and Chalk.
Which was the easiest to read from all angles in the room etc.
The result was a dark Blue blackboard with pale Blue Chalk.
So, because Black is the cheapest paint and White is the cheapest chalk, they stayed with it. “Seen to be written, not written to be seen!” as usual with most reports.

Depends what’s in the parcel…………..;)

There is an old joke here about the sewage worker apprentice on his first day, being taught to recognise the “Parcels” from the Butcher / Fishmonger / Baker and “My wifes”.

Yes, she’s a thicko pikey chav alright.

However, discuss this: –
I doubt if 2% of the readers on here know the phone number of their local Police station. Not without finding the yellow pages etc.

So, the unready thicko’s will dial the number that has been drummed into them. 999 or 911.

Why don’t they have say 888 (Whatever) for Police non-emergencies? The technology is there to route your call to the nearest station.
This is a simple answer.
Therefore it is too difficult for a politician to understand.

Edit. After all, they chose 999 to prevent hoax calls from Starlings and other great feathered heads.
