Bought & Being read. Thanks to Wintertea & Terry! :01:

Terry, try getting in touch with the Imperial War Museum. If they don't have the records themselves, they may be able to point you in the right direction. (No pun intended!)

It was also so that they didn't shoot their own men by accident. Given that there were a LOT more rats than enemy soldiers in the trenches, some the size of cats! that would definitely involve a lot of ammo.!

No Marianna it wasn't fiction! They used pigeons in quite a few wars, Including WW1 where they probably used it more than any other. Several pigeons won the "Dickens" medal which is the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross. If you know the last series of the show Blackadder, there are a...

Where is Auntie?????

Anything to do with fitted kitchens?

Is it "The Monkey"?

Shouldn't a Satellite Dish point UP??? Or are they receiving transmissions from the Subterranean Aliens??:tw:

I wonder if Arkwright knew that a certain State Registered Nurse was one a scantily clad nubile nymph in Pompeii?? Any how...............The Prologue.......................................

Up Pompeii Marianna? I wouldn't have expected THAT! While I enjoyed it (and its spinoff shows and movies) at the time, and still get the occasional "titter" out of it if I catch it these days, I wouldn't have picked you as a Frankie Howerd fan.:13:

Download worked fine. I now have ANOTHER 30yrs video, complete with subtitles.:)

Still won't stream, getting same message as Barry. I am downloading to see if that works...results shortly. Still Pic worked fine.

Wow Barry, CONSIDERABLY better than the typical dog-boxes we were forced to live in (AND pay rent) when we got transferred on rotation out to the "country" for years at a time.

Probably something like Red Dwarf Allo Allo Full collection of Billy Connolly live shows.

The mice were furious!

Don't leave your car out in the sun either if you can avoid it Terry, The steering wheel (and seat) gets VERY hot. Here we can buy steering steering wheel covers, or more commonly front window covers which are reflectorised and only take a few seconds to fold/unfold when needed. They just sit...

Air Con very usual over here too. Not so much for warming (although some do) but definitely for cooling. Terry's 35.5C is a relatively COOL day here in summer. Not sure how it would go over there in Blighty but a lot of homes (mine included) use Evaporative type air con, rather than what we call...

No danger of that I don't think I 700,You cannot get Twitter or Facebook on a payphone and people seem addicted to that sort of rubbish. :tw:

Since everyone has a mobile phone these days, they phased out a lot of the old payphones over here. But then they stopped and did an amazing thing (Well Amazing for politicians!!) they made ALL the payphones in Oz FREE!! Yes....FREE. If you can find one it costs nothing to phone from one!

Also, why is it, every time you see a police car doing something it has its lights and siren on????? They arrest the bad guy, put him in the car and it drives off with flashing lights and siren.....WHY?????? They are going to do a search warrant.....arrive with lights and siren.....WHY??? They...
