F*ckin’ A.

This means what?

Yep, the song is indeed poo.
It’s trendy Rap, and all Rap music has a silent C.

Bond is no longer Bond. The oh so British humour has gone, so the film can be understood by the nation with the money.
The action now has to be OTT and there has to be lots of death.

I liked Bond for the humour and Britishness, it set it above the rest. Now it’s just another action film, so may as well watch the king, Mr Segal.

It might help to find out the approximate date the picture was taken then ask which advertising agency had a contract with BA at the time. If I remember rightly BA had exclusive contracts with agencies for quite long periods around that time. If you can pinpoint the agency it is much more likely to keep records and copies than BA, which keeps very little other than legally required records. The agency is also likely to be a whole lot more helpful towards you.

Good luck.

Wasn’t it Saatchi n Saatchi in the 80’s? Try them.
Famous for the multi-people images on the beach. Possibly the best ads ever made.

I heard that too……Someone should tell them they were wrong 😀 😀 😀 LMAO 😀 AND rub their noses in it 😀 😀 😀

Who actually comes up with this stuff????

I adore all this science research.
But, in this case, once we know what happened in the fist nano second after the Big Bang, what are we going to do with the knowledge? How will it make my/our life better? We’ll still be paying £1.09 a litre for petrol, 75% too much for energy and 100% too much for water.

I think the worst turbulence I can recall was on a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt (I think) to LHR, about 5-6 years ago

The plane was all over the place & it was rather frightening. It was not just relatively severe, but sustained – 30-45 minutes. Seat belt sign was on most of the flight.

I fly at least twice (2 return trips) a year & have done so for over 15 years so I have a fair amount of experience (but obviously not as much as many on this forum). I hate turbulence.

So do I. Because I know how cr*p some A/c are built. Even worse, how badly some are maintained. Thankfully these are in the tiniest minority, but one mistake leads to deaths in the 10’s of 10’s ore more.
I also know that the a/c can flex a lot, on the A310 rig I saw the wing being twanged until the tip was vertical. It didn’t snap (On that day) but I believe they were running it to the absolute loads.

More often than not it is a fear that a note with which the shopkeeper is not familiar could be a forgery.

Many forgers used the technique of passing Scots bank notes south of the border.

Nothing to do with racism.

Moggy

When I worked in a shop, I was told that it was agin the law to refuse legal tender….for example to preserve loose change or the till float, some shops had a sign up saying “Sorry, we do not take £50 notes”. This, I was told was not legal.

If it had said, “Due to the vast amount of £50 note forgeries in the area – we are not taking £50 notes”, it would be OK.

The refusal of the Scotts pound is as you say fear of forgery, but in a lot of cases it is dumb ignorance on the part of the shopkeeper. Somebody told him (Down the pub) it was not good tender and that’s that.

I’ve not seen a Northern Irish note……….I was in Belfast two weeks ago and all my transactions were done in English money, and I received back English money.

I keep forgetting that Eire uses the Eurodollar as does the rest of Yerp.

I kind of support you DazDM, but there were 7 stories written from as long ago as 1981. I was in looneyfornia at the time, and this was a discussion point.
As for sequels in general, we never seem to enjoy them. But books…….what if Agatha Christie had stopped at just 1, for example. Is it snobbery between the Celluloid and Cellulose?

The marking device for pottery was also used as a cutting tool to ensure the pot was the same size as the last one…with the same shape at the cut too. That’s how I saw it being used at a College demonstration once.
I’n not convinced about the others being a valve grinder, the valve needs holding by the valve end, and pressure applied to it so the mating face beds with the female part in the Cylinder Head. That’s why today’s tools is just a wooden stick with a sucker on the end.
This pictured tool would not give a smooth enough movement, nor can it apply pressure from the correct direction.Could be wrong, but I’ve ground a few valves in my time.
