Re: NATO & World War 3
Ask the once black and white minstrels .probably why the mining industry went kaput ? The miners couldn’t afford to buy the soap. all the time to keep their faces clean . Today they would sack them in any case due to the ever going war about our atmosphere due to fossil fuels , they call Climate Change. Going back to the cape horners with no toilets , what happens today with the clean seas act ? How do you get past this in your boat, bet you still throw your empty beers tins over the side..? Careful how you answer Big Brother is watching and listening , He comes in many shapes and sizes . Cheers JS

hi john sabourn #102
good afternoon, that brings to the surface a story about a comedian by the name of Lenny henry he used to appear regularly on the black and white show but he is now playing the fact down and refusing to acknowledge his appearances mostly because he has become a left wing puppet and his is the usual story, working class got on the first step out of the housing estate But married a white semi famous actress left winger, she was a middle class university educated and it looks by all accounts she has educated him trouble is every time he looks in the mirror he can not wipe the make-up off no matter how much soap he uses because he is actually black,
as for use of the heads whilst sailing, i refer to my eighty four year old buddy whom puts his **** over the rail and lets go,
and as i no longer imbibe the evil drink it is not a problem, but if i did drink then i would prefer to buy bottles as once you throw the empty over the side it does not pollute or break-down .

Re: NATO & World War 3
Remember Lenny Henry trying to remember who his wife was, I seem to remember the lady Who took the part of the Vicar of Dibley who was I think Hatty Jacques ? if I am right then I haven’t got senility so can go out and celebrate and start whistling at the girls again, doesn’t matter about the other one that sounds similar sterile or something.

John re #102 and the miners showering. when they stripped of their knickers to go into the shower to wash off the coal dust you could tell who went home for lunch, that little dangly thing was the only thing white.

#107 Think the only reliable info. available today is from Joe Bloggs who was there and saw it all. Who is willing to swear on the Holy Book which he still believes in. JS
