Thanks Dillon for the explanation. I guess I’m one of those patriotic, dumb yanks who think all British food sucks!! I never order it! :lol: :lol: On my first trip to London, ages ago when I was a very young lad, I remembered once ordering Yorkshire Pudding thinking it was a dessert! :lol: :lol: I ...

Alternative energy sources have been around for longer than some of us would care to remember, but in reality, (and this is my conspiracy theory :) ) none are ever likely to be developed into cost effective or cheaper alternatives to fossil fuels until fossil fuels are a lot closer to depletion than...

Hasn't the US pretty much stripped the British army post WWII via economic agreements and other strategic signings? The glory days of the Brit's were in the pre-WWII era, fast forward to today and you'd see the British army is nothing more of a specialized fighting force who fill in the gaps for NA...

It's just been announced on the radio that Saudi Arabia has sent around 1,000 soldiers into Bahrain to quell the street protests and protect Government installations

Aah... so it would be the American pilots then who managed to crash twelve of their limited stock of 32?

Dillon… you must work in PR…! Don't you?? You got me to think about giving Yorkshire Puddings another chance, esp. some of those varieties you described! However, I had a hard time understanding everything in that poem… It must be written in Yorkshire lingo!! Isn't it?? That reminds me.... I once h...

On the contrary MCL, the UK has a rich history of sharing technology with it’s allies and comes as no surprise to me that the technology developed during the development of a Mach 3 experimental aircraft at Filton contributed to the SR71 and indeed contributed directly to the Concorde which again wa...

This evening, I have been in reflective mood listening to Nick Drake, a gifted musician who lived a tragic short life.

Err shouldn't you be comparing with other armed forces, navies? Err, and why would I wish to do that? My comments are in response to your previous and rather ignorant questions and statements, my intention is to educate, not compare sticks; Misery Called Life wrote: Hasn't the US pretty much stripp...

He only produced three albums before he died of an anti depressant overdose in the early 70's, his best IMO was his first 'Five Leaves Left' he sadly wasn't very popular when alive but is now recognised as one of the most influential Singer Songwriters and guitarist in recent times! but you do have ...

But to sum up I was not entirely off-target either, disarmament does seem to be the buzzword as far as the UK military is concerned. Not that it's a bad thing, but this policy does seem to be aimed at creating an increased dependency of ur other military allies. Disarmament would appear to be the b...

My Son travels regularly between Riyadh, Dubai and the UK with his laptop and has never had it looked at twice, he has sometimes been asked to switch it on at the security X-Ray, post baggage drop, and as soon as he does they tell him to turn it off again. It must be your body language FD, you must ...

Dillon

Ooh yes, I remember it well...

Dillon

Well No, not really! even your summary is as ridiculous and misleading as your first post! The thread itself was bordering on the ridiculous, Brit V/s USA?? C''monnn!! The logical debate would be about technology but you counter with prudent budgetary control(!!!) My budgetary control comment was re...

Well I guess I won't be bumping into AA Gill at a Friday Brunch in Dubai anytime soon then?

I see he’s moved on from his loathing attacks on The Isle of Man then? Maybe he’ll get more of a positive financial response from Dubai Inc?

Dillon

Hello! Would you like a sweetie little girl?

Sounds like Zubber's landed in Dubai already?

Dillon

FD has it spot on, Fluids and Sugars. Did you know that Coca Cola was originally marketed as a hangover cure? It did however contain cocaine at that time so it would also have had the benefit of the ‘Hair of the dog’ effect as well as providing the fluids and sugars. I guess the likes of the caffein...

You will probably find better resources on expatwoman.com, it’s difficult enough dealing with teenagers in a progressive environment and the added complications that the restrictions in Dubai will offer are going to make it all the more challenging I’ve no doubt. Be prepared to invest a lot more tim...

It's now brewed in Tadcaster, the land on which the Broon Ale was brewed in Newcastle was worth more as development land to Scottish Courage than Newcastle's heritage brew.

Still delicious, but sadly, not the same as it was.

I don't know about that? I usually end up falling about laughing when I enjoy a few sherbets!

Sound logic, take the cure of the effect with the cause and eliminate the symptoms before they develop?

Dillon

So it would appear that the resolution goes a little further than just a No-Fly Zone; “The Council authorized Member States, acting nationally or through regional organizations or arrangements, to take all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack in the country, including Bengh...

And we're doing this, why? I agree eh, Imposing democracy on a nation where one half of the population hates the other half is not a good idea. No-one is imposing democracy on anyone Ben, the UN resolution is quite specific in demanding an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the curre...

Doesn't Nederlands translate to Low Countries? and wouldn't that include Belgium and Luxembourg?

And what happened to Brabant, where did that go?

And let's not forget PC Yvonne Fletcher in 1984?

Well the last time I went to school, Holland had but two neighbours and none of those were French! get your Geography books out Onions and look again.

Ooh I think we'll all be looking for some kind of payment when the dust settles won't we? I think this goes beyond friendly regard?
