    May be of relevance to this thread but it’s worth looking up Admiral Le Fanu on wiki

    DCW re yr #241
    Do you think it’s a good idea, if possible, to have a gentle nose around the skips every now and then……..see what they are chucking out………contractors doing the job no doubt, and they have an “everything must go” attitude, just doin me job mate!

    Thank you for your #33, I of course accept with relief, from what I feel is a normally erudite person such as yourself.

    I rather take exception at being labeled as a drunk for asking a perfectly reasonable question.
    I notice that the Australian gentleman in question responded fairly reasonably on the 30th at 1700 ish. But by 1800 his responses included comments that I consider to be unnecessarily insulting. Maybe HE was partaking of libations ?
    I hope the Moderators of this forum react by at least deleting this thread which I regret starting.

    Make Mrs M repeat the 2 second rule out load when she’s driving until it becomes second nature.

    To be fair to Paxman his programme last night was Very good.
    I was livid when his comments came out about ego etc etc .

    Watching the programme he repeated those comments near the end, but in a sort of throw away line.

    This proves how the press pick out comments and expand them completely out of context. everything printed was said, yes…….but bears no resemblance to the whole story.

    I had just started flying as CC and visited my parents in Hayes, it was on the TV and I think the best description of how I felt was, stunned. I couldn’t stop watching it but the bit that got to me most was when the barge carrying him down the Thames passed all the dockside cranes, they all simultaneously lowered their jibs. Don’t know why, but it still moves me!

    Years later I visited his grave and was surprised at how “low key” it was, just a flat slab but then again, apposite.
