    Hi All,
    It’s a bit of fun for crying out loud get a life! Just witnessed a woman who is heavily pregnant take her life in her hands crossing the Rd literally feet from the crossing diagonally towards the camera dodging the traffic ? now that is what I call an idiot! Must admit though you obviously take your life in your own hands at the crossing also saw a Mercedes speeding suddenly brake as someone stepped off the Kerb so idiots everywhere I suppose. :stupid:

    Hi All,
    Would have thought Ford could have given them a new bus gratis or hire them a new bus for good for a nominal yearly fee ? But it’s good that the Police have stepped up. :eagerness:

    Hi All,
    Snafu,
    The U.S. needs their backing how many they can muster it has to be seen that these Arab countries are contributing no matter how little or how effective simply because if it was the west going it alone it would be seen and portrayed by Isis as a crusade against the Muslim/Arab nations IMO.
    With the backing of Arab countries the U.S. can get the support of not just the armed forces of these countries but the people’s backing too! and more than likely more support from other western countries they are all in the firing line and they need a coalition to band together then ask for more support in what ever form that would take when they need it.

    Hi All,
    Paul,
    Yes I was wondering about the Suarez affect ? the punishment that animal got was just too lenient, his and other so called professional players who are shall we say
    on Santa’s naughty list need to be dealt with more severely. They are held in hero worship by many young lads and IMHO act the same as these idiots, they should be made to tour schools of all ages to reiterate what they did was not just unsporting but totally wrong but no instead we see ‘There,there while patting slowly on the back here’s a teddy to cuddle and when your ready all is forgiven!’

    Hi All,
    Sad end to the same aircraft, an avenger fire bomber pilots quick thinking water bombed the aircraft enabling the pilot to escape.

    Hi All,
    If only they were as tough on the so called professionals! Spot on IMHO and FIFA could learn a thing or two from this punishment.

    Hi All,
    Sorry to bang on about this latest Michael Rondot work of art but I really think it has to be the best of the bunch. Here is the flyer for the print which looks like getting some really quite unique signatures on them above the basic 2014 team edition.

    Hi all,
    I realise that the lift engine is RR but did they get considered to develop the main engine at all when in development ?

    Hi All,
    Phantom II, Looks like training rounds ? Definitely Red Top though. Here’s a shot of XS899 at RAF Leuchars in 1977 looks like same rounds ? picture courtesy of Mike H from UK Airshow Review Forum.

    Hi All,
    If Mr Putin’s Russia is so good then why are the authorities hiding the protest of Russian military mothers of their sons involvement in the Ukraine ? Why tell porky’s of their involvement full stop! This could possibly be an outside chance of trying to get the old Warsaw pact countries back in line, he even went as far in not so many words allegedly threatening the use of Nuclear weapons if his plans are interfered with by the west.
