Rae - Who the heck is that on your avatar pic???? (I thought it was you :rofl:)

You are in fact much easier on the eye ;)

Liked to story and the clip - doesn't show England in too good a light though :ohmy:

That's really excellent.

Ann - the video seemed to require a couple of clicks on the play symbol before it would comply.

well thats very nice of you. was not my intention to show the UK in a negative light, but was asked directly for a comparison, and though i am sure some on here and elsewhere may say it is not deserved, it is nonetheless first hand experience i am afraid.

Sorry to hear that Rae - but watching you did remind me of the intro to "The Bill".

Spritzer Sep 30th 2009 9:46 am

Re: Fame at last!!
 
So sorry Rae - that's the huge downside of being so far away from the family.

mandymoochops Sep 30th 2009 9:46 am

Re: Fame at last!!
 
um can't say anything profound but i'm sorry about your loss and at least we're here to give you a laugh :(

Seems a great idea: police patrolling the street, seen to be seen. Genius idea.

Dixon would be pleased.

Is it me?

i agree, i did say during the interview this was far from ground breaking, but you would be surprised how it simply does not generally happen here. i tried to do this last year and it did not happen, not generally the thing to do here you see, hence the coverage. its not the idea, its the implementation.

rae Sep 30th 2009 11:16 am

Re: Fame at last!!
 
and thanks to all for the condolences, it is appreciated. he had a good innings, 93, long battle with cancer finally got him after going the whole of WW2 without a scratch, including long range desert patrols with the rats and stirling himself no less!
comes to us all i suppose. thanks rae.

Hell, that sounds like a good innings.....Condolences though.
