Slight correction.Her other grand dad (Scottish grand dad) was an aircraft mechanic in world war 2.

Rlangham- I don’t know,as he died soon after I was born.What I know about him is only from what my mum told me.He was her grand dad.From what I hear,he was quite a character.He used to sunbathe nude in his garden (when he was old!) & stick used chewing gum behind his ear to save it for later.
Other family members were in the air force & army in peacetime.Her other grand dad was an aircraft mechanic in the air force,untill an engine fell on him & broke his hips.Then he had to leave.

Not many,but my great grand dad comes to mind.Sailor in the Royal Navy,World war 2.Boiler room stoker on a battleship & got sunk when a German torpedo hit the boiler room,with him in it.He was fine.
He worked his way up from an enlisted sailor to an officer.Lieutenant-commander with his own ship.Got an old black & white photo in officer uniform somewhere.

Interesting brands,comet.The best beer,is Belgian Lambic (fruit) beers.The best flavours being:
Floris Ninkeberry (mixed berry)
Apricot
Peach
Although the other flavours are not without their own charming tastes; those are the best.In that order.

Nice country,especially the windmills & Tulips.From recent accounts,I hear it’s quite boring & Amsterdam is quite unpleasant.My relatives went there recently & were quite shocked how dirty & seedy Amsterdam was.Hashish cafes,drug dealers,dirty streets & sex shops everywhere.
Such a shame they have become extreme left,liberal.Still,they’re the only country with an accent more funny that strong west African accents,when speaking English! “Just look at dose filty vindowsh”!!!

Also,the Cockleshell heroes & Navy SEALS with Charlie Sheen.Behind Enemy lines,from 2001 was good.

LBA- that happens to me sometimes.When it does,it helps to close all programmes & re-start the computer.It usually works fine after that.
Long term,you would be better off with a different broadband provider.I use tiscali.It’s cheaper & doesn’t have many problems.

steve-do the natives still eat Budgerigars in Australia?
