David I thought the stumbling block apart from money was it would not be allowed to fly here,please correct me if I have the wrong impression.

Comrade Jim,don’t you mean “The Great Patriotic War”:)

Because no one would watch it on the radio?

Well thats the first reason to ban Television

any more from anyone else?

A great actor who will be missed I wish him well with that awful disease.

My favourite film of his was “The Long Good Friday”.

Jim I think that once you reach retirement age and are taking more money out than you are putting in you are classified as a Coffin Dodger. I intend to do this for as long as possible. As for the surgery I require apparantly I can take a “running jump” They don’t do knees at the moment(I need one and the other is packing up) As for my Spinal Stenosis that is 15 months overdue from the date I was given! Ever tried to take a running jump with two C rap knees and a back that gives up after a few yards so your legs go dead and you fall down?

They have done the sums
2 knees at 10k a side £20,000
Back 24k minimum £24,000
Total £44,000(at 2010 prices)

Benifit and carers allowance £6,800 p.a.

So on my calculations if I kick the bucket inside 6.47 years the Government wins so I have to live beyond 74 to beat them at their own game.

Note due to my age do the calculation yourself as I could be way off!:)

Jet, Doc, Lemmy and Mitch went there in the 50’s. I know I heard it on the wireless!

Some of you know what I am talking about!:D

Argentina are doing well I see!:D

Well at least it was the correct flag. I think I would have lost control of my bodily functions laughing if they raised the North Korean one by mistake!:)
