Just to really make your evening, Linc – do you know how many languages the form is printed in? Yup, the same as Heinz – 57!!!!!!!!!:mad:

And I bet there isn’t a copy in wurzel

Sorry to hear you were taken ill again, but if you’re on here it can’t have been all bad.

Regarding the NHS, sadly we now live in a claim culture and one of targets so everything has to be recorded and quantified just in case something did go wrong.

My wife works in the NHS and some of the tales I hear of wastage and treatment of staff are shocking.

If I dared risk actually being prosecuted and fined I would sling the thing back at them. A waste of time and a staggering waste of a great deal of money we do not have.:(

But in 100 years time, what would those shows that indulge a ‘celeb’ and find out what their granny did be able to look at if the census records aren’t released?
😀

Is that what we missed, I thought it would be flygirl on the show!

Are the other Arab and North African nations in a situation where they can realistically provide air cover, the whole region is politically very unstable and whilst there is humanitarian aid being provided, a full scale military operation from a country such as Egypt which is currently in a state of flux would be difficult to co-ordinate when the priorities and resources lie elsewhere at the moment. I would have thought it likely that only if there was a direct threat to a nation would they get involved.

In some cases, again particularly US manufacturers, stencils were little used and the majority of the markings were applied by rubber stamps (P-51) or water-slide decals (P-40 for example). We reproduce these too.

And probably sadly 99% of people won’t even know they are there.

Inkworm, don’t give up old chap. I know peer pressure can be immense, but it’s the core values that people are taught as kids that really stick with them.

Easier said than done, there is nothing more annoying than when I’m trying to teach a bunch of undergraduates who are supposed to be ‘adults’ and are paying for their education and they’d rather mess about on facebook or texting people when I’m trying to deliver a lecture, yes I shouldn’t care, it’s their loss not mine but it is bloody rude. I’m also pretty confident that if their parents ever found out they would not be impressed.

Despite that little one knows how important planes and rugby are so we must be doing something right!:D

Can you always blame the parents, we are trying our best and at the moment doing reasonably well, however little inky is yet to turn three, I’m sure as she gets older she will listen to us less and to her peers more, one of those sad facts.
