The DVD I found most interesting was –

“From Spitfire to Saucepan” a most interesting insight into how an old aeroplane was turned into something usefull.

I have held back from replying to this thread for a time, but to be honest, I’ve never read such a load of bolloks.

Until you very brave Tree huggers get off your **** and go and tell the yanks, china, japan, india to stop doing what there doing you are pissing in the wind. I would love to save the planet, but i’ll be ****** if i’m doing it on my own.
Shout at them, make them stop, then I’ll listen.

What i wouldn’t give for one of those –
Cheers for posting these Pete.

Wont it be great for our kids , grand kids and their grand kids…

They will be able to see all those extinct animals on DVD ..or whatever is the latest gizzmo..

We have lived our lives in stiffling heat, petrol guzzling our ways back and forth, overeating while others starve , waste and destruction following us around our selfish lives..

God is visiting his wrath on us …..

Prepare to meet thy doom!!! Joke…well kind of…..actually…

We made the mess , WE.. and our descendants and now we must start to pay if we want a world to pass on to those who follow.

Until the same wrath is laid at the feet of Bush and the rest of the world don’t ask me for another penny.

Never mind all that ******** about saving the planet and paying more tax, what do i pay my extra tax with. And why has the Jock in number 10 just given another £100,000,000 of our money to the Iraqis for, we need money spending here at home in England – you know hospitals, schools, coppers on the street, muggers and rapists and kiddie fidlers to hang. Smell the roses Tomy – Gordon the countries just reached the “U” bend and is going down fast.
