Dillon, are you sure about that second link? If so, that must have been the Brits version of disco, which definitely differs from what us yanks know disco to be!!! :alien: I know that neither of the above would have been played at Studio 54!!!! :mrgreen: Absolutely certain Bora! and never mind! I d...

I love it, I still enjoy Marmite soldiers, toasted or plain with lashings of butter and a dippy egg or two;

Now come on DDS what's NOT to like about Bovril? one of my favourite sandwiches is Beef Drippings with Bovril on a white breadcake, MMMMmmmmmmm

Dillon

Barf?

what does that mean? you don't know what you're missing Bora, you use them to make the gravy from your roast beef joint don't you? you use them to bake the Yorkshire puddings in don't you? beef dripping and bovril sandwiches, delicious.

A clash of diverse driving cultures could be one of the main reasons for the high incidence of road accidents in the UAE. A clash of diverse driving cultures? I think he’s being very PC when there’s no need to be, I think what he really means is the standards at which people are taught to drive in ...

What was even worse was the standing ovation after standing ovation he got from congress. 29 in total I read somewhere. I noticed that, it was embarrassing to watch, he was applauded after just about every Sentence. In contrast, during Obama’s speech to the joint houses of parliament in Westminster...

Yes, driving in Egypt is nearly as bad as driving in India and nowhere near as bad as driving in Nigeria but I found the Boulevard Peripherique in Paris the most scary! :shock: My interpretation of the ‘Third Culture’ he refers to is simply that there is a compromise between any of the two driving s...

Well everyone in Congress better applaude if they want to keep their seats. I'm sure there is a certain level of concern that failure to show support will result in being displaced at the next vote. I wonder how many wishes will be granted for that show of support? What you see in public doesn't ne...

Berrin sorry to say mate but your a one trick pony, just like EH. He blames everything on the Islam and muslims, you are on the other end of the specturm by blaming everything on the west. Nobody disagrees certain countries have meddled in other countries bussiness, supported/support tyrants and di...

Well I think what you're talking about are individuals breaking the laws in Dubai rather than the driving practices of different cultures in Dubai causing RTA's, yes they're related but what is needed to resolve what you talk about is effective law enforcement, the article is about understanding how...

Well I tried but I couldn’t think of anything that funny really, so I asked my Son what he thought would be an apt song title and he suggested ‘He’s Mistra Know it All’ by Stevie Blunder :shock: What?

On a more serious note, :x I think ‘God save the Queen’ should remain as the National Anthem for the UK, Commonwealth and British Dependencies for state occasions, and a unique National Anthem for each separate Country when that Country is individually represented, such as sporting events. The Commo...

One of the most scary moments in my driving experiences in the UK was my first encounter with a very strange intersection in Hemel Hempstead, known locally as the Magic Roundabout. :shock: A roundabout surrounded by 6 mini roundabouts, while approaching the main roundabout you expect to be directed ...

Does it change to God save the King if there is a KIng on the throne ? Yes with a few more changes, when the monarch of the time is male, ‘Queen’, and all female pronouns are replaced with ‘King’ and male pronouns. In addition, the lyrics of the third verse are modified slightly to read, ‘With hear...

Dillon

Well when you analyse it, and understand the way it works, it really does make a lot of sense. First impressions are that it’s a roundabout surrounded by 6 mini roundabouts, as I first described and as the signage indicates, but if you look at it as a circular contiguous array of independent roundab...

You haven't quite got a handle on it yet DDS, Pippa in a commoner, her sister married into Royalty, it wasn't the other way round and another thing you should know is that, no two members of the Royal Family who are the serving monarch or direct heirs to the throne, allowed to travel in the same veh...

Well firstly, being Egyptian you’d need a Visa to enter the UK and you would only be allowed to work if you had an Employment Visa, and at 15 you’re too young. You would only be allowed to work in England from the last Friday in June following your 16th Birthday, so while you say you’ll be 16 in a f...

A popular Name for girls from the British Empire’s African Nations was ‘Queen Victoria’ but the funniest I recall was Prince Charles’ Introduction by a Papua New Guinean dignitary, while on a Royal Tour in 1974, Prince Charles, stood at the side of Queen Elizabeth II, and was introduced as ‘the namb...

Your research is correct, for a citizen who is legally, a resident of the UK. At 15 you would be a minor without a parent or guardian with residency rights, you would not be granted an Employment visa, without an Employment Visa you would not be allowed to work, unless on an illegal status, you woul...

Unfortunately not, neither a precocious minor! LOL Although a sense of humour does help in situations like this. Incidentally, real men avoid tofu like the plague!
