Re: Off for a few days
Hayu is not too much of a problem at the moment. The House facing, two bedrooms now contain 19 Rumanians, Nine men, five children and five women.
They now have Six cars littering the avenue. They throw garbage into the road, cans bottles, MacDonalds crap in cartons etc. They are the worst bunch of animals[sorry animals] I have ever come across world wide.
I have had four of their cars towed away for having no tax or insurance then they get more wrecks.
So these are European immigrants , What a Cess Pit Europe must be. That is why I have NEVER EVER BEEN to Europe in 30 years. Should be used as a Nuclear testing ground.
Brian
Beware, they will be coming to a house near you one day.

Re: Off for a few days
Hi Captain, My wife and I had to make a quick visit to Fleetwood having received the news that my younger brother had passed away. I had forgotten just how cold and miserable the UK can be in the wintertime. He was just 77 years old, a retired MN engineer and never married. He always sailed on ships which paid the best money as a permit second. Tankers, Ore carriers, Bulkers but the ones that I remember were the vessels built by Fisher's to carry spent fuel rods from Nuclear reactors back to the UK for re-processing. High pay plus a huge bonus because of the nature of the cargo -- I often used to tell him that those two boats would be the death of him. By the way, Fleetwood was bloody cold, how anyone manages to survive those winters staggers me !!!! Regards Peter in NZ.

He could go to the West Indies and have a Christmas of another color.

Re: Off for a few days
I am off to sunny Fleetwood
in the fog and pouring rain
I like to go to Fleetwood
its better than going to Spain
I see the ships go sailing past
bound for Douglas and Belfast
To see the sunset on Morecambe Bay
I remember the times when I was away
.
What a load of rubbish
See you all on Tuesday.
Cheers
Brian
