  2. I must've irritated someone

    I regularly get death threats from the Nazis on the BNP pages on Facebook...it's always amusing reading their "i guna DIS U AND SMK YOUS HEED IN" Ignorant f***ards
  3. How to treat 'older' women

    ADVICE FROM A RETIRED HUSBAND It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman. My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Carol Anne. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Carol Anne to get a full-time job, along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club, so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed. Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think.For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour.. But, Boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two, or even three days. That way, she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points. When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half-finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me, too. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Carol Anne. I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, Guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other. EDITOR'S NOTE: Ron died suddenly on January 31 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing, and a sledge hammer laying nearby. His wife Carol Anne was arrested and charged with murder. The all-woman jury took only 10 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her defence that Ron, somehow without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.
  4. I just prevented a Major Air Disaster

    ....After a struggle in the cockpit, I managed to get the enraged lunatic removed and subdued. She claimed to be the pilot
  5. Thoughts about P4

    Something a bit in-between the pyrotechnic explosions as aircraft hit the ground...and the small puff of smoke we now have, would be nice too
  6. I can see exactly where you're coming from Flypc. In fact, putting my 'cynical' head on for one minute, I wonder if this was to keep the War Graves Commission in a Job? By WW2,most fallen soldiers were logged, and their place of death recorded...but WW1 soldiers had no such sentiments from the Military. As you rightly point out...the families of these men, are into the fourth or Fifth generation...most probably have no idea, and even less interest in the events of nearly 100 years ago.
  7. Yes, It was good...glad that some of the relatives got closure. The lady at the end echoed my thoughts exactly..Just "Why?" I can see a reason for WW2, and fighting the Nazis...but WW1 was just such an horrific waste of young lives...it should never be forgotten
  8. will let you know what it's like
  9. Just ordered this for FSX

    I am going to hotch potch a video featuring this addon mixed in with OFF...as the views/Replay facility in FSX (sadly missing in CFS3) should make an interesting video i hope

Tally Ho...chat over a scotch before long!
  11. Medal of Honor hero Vernon Baker dies at age 90

    Sad that he had to wait until the 1990's to receive his medal,probably just because of the Colour of his skin. A sad indictment of the Military, and society as a whole!...thank goodness we are finally moving forward
  12. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/10500315.stm Hope the Police shoot him Dead..So, I don't have to waste my Tax Payers Money keeping this creature from the Bottom of a Pond alive. I am not a violent man...But I hope he tries to break into my House...cos I have got something for him!
  13. Just ordered this for FSX

    In fact..I would go so far as to say it's utter s**t! The only reedeming feature's, are that it only cost £4.99...and that the Sopwith pup will make a nice skin..and the pup sound is great...gonna nick it, and convert for use in OFF
  14. Sexiest(Coolest) Plane Ever

  20. Did you know, call of duty Modern Warfare is to be re-released in Afghanistan as 'The Sims'?
  21. Policeman shot 1/2 mile from my House!

    Yes, I have cruised around those sites on Facebook, and have to say I cannot understand why this Paranoid, drug addicted Wife beater has such a large following...by Women! Now, I'm no Sigmund Freud...But doesn't it make you wonder how some women can be really REALLY weirdly Stupid?
  22. Haven't done any bombing from a.... well...bomber! Is there a bombsite on the bombers?..or is it just drop and hope?
  23. Is there a Bombsite?

    Great..which Default key is it for the DFW bombsite?
  24. There's an old Pub in Marble Arch, London....which used to have gallows adjacent. Prisoners were taken to the gallows (after a fair trial of course) to be hung. The horse drawn dray, carting the prisoner was accompanied by an armed guard, Who would stop the dray outside the pub and ask the prisoner if he would like ''ONE LAST DRINK''. If he said YES it was referred to as “ONE FOR THE ROAD” If he declined, that prisoner was “ON THE WAGON” More bleeding history... They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor". But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot they "Didn’t have a pot to Piss in" & were the lowest of the low. Who says "History is Boring?"
