A few weeks ago Cappy became very anti with myself and others on the forum. He also made offensive remarks about how the site was being administered. Wisely some members asked him to cool his jets, he admitted he was walking on egg shells. Him and several others raised the issue again concerning Marian and thankfully that was nipped in the bud by yourselves.
We have been having some great posts of late and the forum is a fun place to be. Now and again we have the odd disagreement but most of us genuinely I believe are making the effort to keep it civil.
This morning I log on and read this post. Sorry but can you have a word as to me Cappy is well on his way to making an omelette again if he keeps cracking eggs.
Best regards
Lew

Very interesting thread and some really diverse points of view.
Lewis’ comment No.79 where he states quote -
Have the politicos world wide learnt nothing or is the power of the lobbyists greater in the halls of power pushing an agenda from the weapons and arms producers!
###i would be suprised if that was written by lewis ......it appears to be a view of some highly educated politico ........not saying lewis is not highly educated of course ...but it is a precis extemely politically motivated .....whether it is the view of the ordinary man or not is surely to be mooted ....a bit too highbrow for myself ......but a view none the less....and of course free speech on here is our ist priority .......cappy.
Now Cappy even Keith asked you to leave out the insults. AS you say will leave it now.
##you must be in a revolving door youve left it three times today ......for the second time today bon jour .....

Re: Navy is now down to five ships.
Gentlemen both (cappy and Lewis) this has gone on long enough between you two,there is bad blood here and I cannot see it getting any better,but can now issue an open Warning to both that this must now STOP!
You are both ruining a good Thread and getting back to the ways we don't want here!
In future use your Private message Box to communicate .
If any one of you again cross the line with this silly and really unnecessary trash I will have no other alternative to put a time Ban on you both ,(which could be anything from a week to 2 Years) this I really don't want to do so PLEASE! from now on either leave each other alone or pay the price! Your Choices! No more personal name mentioning or the likes!
Take heed both of you
Thank you

Re: Navy is now down to five ships.
There is no chance of you getting time off for good behavior though is there ? . I was listening to something the other day and I'm only 69 this year that when We Were Younger but the average life expectancy of a man was 70 years so in a couple of years time I beat it you've beat it well we must have lived a healthy life despite the booze and fags . I reckon if we hadn't smoke and hadn't drank there we live to be 100 unless of course hanging around bad women shortens your life
