    In my garden there were two Concrete roofed brick shelters. Each held 16 people.
    I say “Were”, I removed one of them with a 16lb sledgehammer and a lot of fun. Walls were approx 12″ thick mades from interweaved Engineering brick.
    Roof was brick formed (Like you did with lego) then 8 inches of concrete. NO REINFORCING. I had the roof down in 4 hours. A direct hit would have gone straight through…………..but, these shelters were not made to take a hit, they were made to keep you away from rubble and flying glass.

    I reckon…
    A and District Worshipful Company of Farriers.

    But the connection of Horses to the Air Force is a bit loose.

    Did you choose the RV because you don’t have a twin rating? ;):D

    That, is pure brilliance!!!

    As for Katie. I too remember her before the boobs and cod lips.
    She was indeed a very beautiful girl.
    Her face still is, even with the lips.

    However, the plastic up front isn’t to my tastes.

    Superglue comes off with Nail varnish remover.
    And, if it’s old stuff, with Acetone in it, it’s better.
    Wouldn’t rekmend either of them in your mouth though.

    [QUOTE=PhantomII;1865452]So it’s no secret that Russia & China have stayed pretty consistent with their different approach to the Iran situation as compared to the EU and the US.

    On the face of things, especially in China’s case, they claim it is all economically based. My questions to fellow forum members are twofold:

    1. Do you believe what they say or do you think they have other unspoken motives?
    >>>>>>>>All politicians lie, end of. The only economical reasoning here is that Russia is broke and Chine is building it’s war machine ready for Taiwan and Japan.

    2. Do you agree with their apparent lack of action in this situation compared to Western countries? (Just out of curiosity please state what country you are from when you reply. I’m just curious to get an idea of what opinions of people from a variety of countries are.)

    >>>>>>>>I never agreee with a lack of action in that part of the World. At minimum we should support Israel every time she has to retaliate.

    EDIT:

    3. Do you personally believe the Iranians are trying to develop a nuclear weapons capability?
    >>>>>>>>>>>100% certain. But, thankfully we have enough intel. to know at what stage they are at.

    British English. In England and Europe 50/50%

    @ppp

    The colouring of an athlete’s clothes isn’t going to make them jump higher, swim faster or run fast with flames behind them …

    Unless, it’s a team sport.
    And the colours blend into the background and cannot be picked out by team members.
    Remember the clowns at Old Trafford allowing the team sponsors to insist on the team wearing a Grey Strip a few years back? Epic fail. They just blended into the multiple colours of the crowd behind.

    yeah, but she is a hell of a looker and that’s all that matters.

    They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
    Perhaps not when meeting Stephen Hawking for the first time.
