  1. There were several very large bombs dropped on Barry Road, several near the junction of Barry Road & Etherow Street near the Plough, then more near Underhill Road and behind. If your purchase is to be near there you might find old hidden damage.
  2. The absence of a comma it does read quite differently, " When I get home, the next day I can bring up their store, put in my payment Bill details and I get a coupon for the access they had charged me, so I get the items cheaper and a coupon for up to ten pounds that I can print off and use on my next visit ". I typed this to include the note that you can't recall your bill within 24 hours. I doubt if it would need a night out to do my shopping. :))
  3. Thanks Camberwell If thought out practically, it might be found that if staying in either I would not have to buy food, anywhere as it is provided.
  4. I use Asda a bit further to go but worth it, their goods are guaranteed to be 10% less than other stores. When I get home the next day I can bring up their store put in my payment bill details and I get a coupon for the access they had charged me, so I get the items cheaper and a coupon for up to ten pounds that I can print off and use on my next visit. I prefer to go there than buy goods in other stores of unknown named products. I dont now use Tesco's as they sent me a letter saying I had stayed too long in their Car Park. I admit I take a long time but I am not all that mobile and time passes so quickly. Their loss not mine I now save money.
  5. I thought Recycling was when somebody used a bycycle to visit you, then recycled home. I heard that there are talks going on with the far East to get Yellow Wheelie bins, for nappies. "You want nice cheap Wheelie Bin good for top to bottom, empty petty quick, no smelly, neighbour no complain, you send Email we come quick". Charlie Poo
  6. It might turn out that the one from a Posh Farm will be educated enough to tell the one from the Workhouse that Hens dont fight, its the Cock that fights other Cocks to rule over all the Hens in the group. You will soon learn which colour egg comes from which colour Hen. :))
  7. lambeth zealout wardens Your heading whether intentional or not is so appropreate, of a Zealouse Lout.
  8. Clean clear plastic Plant pots but not Black ones. Use Green bin.
  9. Hen from your chicken Posts? Dont count your chickens before they are hatched. Yoof! What about the Old Gits?
  10. This is near. Mushroom Bronze 10 7/8" Wide Ceiling Light Fixtur(69350) ? 20. http://www.lampsplus.com/products/mushroom-bronze-10-7-8-inch-wide-ceiling-light-fixture__69350.html
  11. There is of course the Conical Coffin. that is circular and upright with a pointed bottom and a thread running from bottom to top, the benefit of this is instead of lowering a normal coffin by the Bearers, it is possible for all the Mourners to participate by taking hold of the cross levers they can all screw clockwise the Coffin into the ground. This does become a great help in Exhumations they just unscrew anticlockwise the Coffin back up.
  12. Happy Birthday by 2 Have you made a point of going to buy a Birthday card for a coming Birthday. But not find one suitable, not because of the verse that either does not exist or inappropriate. In my case I have found that to find one of a particular year does not exist only on the years full years of 70/80/90/100, no in between years. So I thought that if I cant buy it, then make it, so I have attempted to make one that has a revolving date wheel in the box that can be changed yearly. As the cards are for my younger twin sister and brother, I wrote this inside: Dear Sheila. Many Happy Returns of your 73 Birthday today. I have had difficulty in getting a card for you , as you will have done for me with the correct year date. So I have made a card, not very professional but must suffice, I had shown 73 in the box but it might have moved during its journey in the Post. You can put it right.. There is also an advantage with this card and if I am unable to send a card in the future, you can get this old card out and turn to your 74th Birthday put it on the mantle shelf and say at least I got one card. Have a Good Happy Birthday. ( No this is not a money saving scam by me ).
  13. There might be a way in the future when they change the way we are disposed of, it will all depend on Costs, laughable as it was when the proposal of using a Cremetorium, was thought to be far too drastic, as the public had visions of seeing the actual cremation happen. Now it is a much used practice it is final and there is no cause feel guilty and to go to the cemetery to visit and lay flowers. I predict that at a future date the situation will be solved by the Council supplying a BLACK WHEELIE BIN. But there is always the drawback of the fortnightly collection.
  14.

  15. To blow up the Tower of London ?Now gives food for thoughts?, I seem to remember someone mentioned a Guy named Fawkes. With his friend?s he brought in many large barrels of gun powder, the bigger the barrels the explosion would be so much louder. He was not there to steal the Crown or Royal family Jewels, as they found that he had taken with him no digging tools. Before he found the time that he could strike the match. he was taken by Warders and found guilty of a plot to hatch. Today we remember the fireworks that would have been, if they had not discovered in the cellars and been seen. So the Ravens can still feed free on the Tower Green, the Beefeater watches as their feathers they do preen. To celebrate this non event, Fires and Fireworks display, November the fifth this anniversary of that ancient day. Let off you chosen Squib, Rocket or Katherine Wheel, bought much earlier you were likely to get a good deal. Whether you go to the Blackheath , or nearby Peckham Rye, or to Dulwich Park the rockets will rise high into the sky. Beware whilst holding that firework or banger in your hand, an explosion in a closed hand then you will no longer stand. The invitation asked of me to be your Guy for the large fire. before reaching the top of the pile I would surely expire. If its alright by you, I will stay behind in the dusky glimmer, there at least I can take a rest on my faithful Zimmer.
  16. BEST blonde joke so far in 2011....... A blonde lady motorist was about two hours from Blackpool when she was flagged down by a man whose truck had broken down. The man walked up to the car and asked, "Are you going to Blackpool ?" "Sure," answered the blonde, "do you need a lift?" "Not for me. I'll be spending the next three hours fixing my truck.. My problem is I've got two chimpanzees in the back which have to be taken to the Blackpool Zoo. They're a bit stressed already so I don't want to keep them on the road all day. Could you possibly take them to the zoo for me? I'll give you ?100 for your trouble." "I'd be happy to," said the blonde. So the two chimpanzees were ushered into the back seat of the blonde's car and carefully strapped into their seat belts, and off they went. Five hours later, the truck driver was driving along the Sea Front of Blackpool when suddenly he was horrified! There was the blonde walking down the street and holding hands with the two chimps, much to the amusement of a big crowd. With a screech of brakes he pulled off the road and ran over to the blond. What the hell are you doing here?" he demanded, "I gave you ?100 to take these chimpanzees to the zoo." "Yes, I know you did," said the blonde," but we had money left over so now we're going to Sea World."
  17. If you go to Vestas web you will see they have a section that is trying to deal with the know defects. http://worldofwind.vestas.com/presentations/offshorev164
  18. I can put many more but I hope that I have now shown what is the failier rate.
  19. A few more as I had used my capacity. Thesa are what you are not told about.
  20. Of course I cant post all the Fires in the Wind Turbines but here are a few for the doubters. Fw: Fwd: Fw: If you see one of these starting to smoke...RUN! Gear oil failures in wind turbines Here are some photos of what happens when transmission failures occur in wind turbines. To date no gear oil has been invented to withstand the pressures produced within these transmissions. Most recently the government gave Dow-Corning a big grant to work on it. Previously, many others had tried and failed.
  21. There are now so many of these dotted around the countryside, the thing is you are not told of the hundreds that catch fire destroying the whole generating unit. The failier is now traced to the wrong Gear Oil. There is now the cost of fitting an extinguisher to each one. Every one that catches fire the Fire Brigade attends, It makes me wonder will these ever make a profit? When the penny drops they have a good amount of scrap metal to sell. To give a small repayment to the Investers. There is a proposed new factory in the old Sheerness Docks, giving a job to hundreds of employees but will it be short lived putting them back onto the list of unemployed.
  22. my name is shorty and i was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. i noticed her dental diploma, which bore her full name. suddenly, i remembered a tall, handsome, dark haired girl with the same name had been in my secondary school class some 50-odd years ago. could she be the same girl that i had a secret crush on, way back then? upon seeing her, however, i quickly discarded any such thought. this balding, grey haired woman with the deeply lined face was far too old to have been my classmate. after she examined my teeth, i asked her if she had attended heber road secondary school . 'yes, yes i did. i'm a heberite! 'she beamed with pride. 'when did you leave to go to college?' i asked she answered, in 1945. why do you ask? 'you were in my class!' i exclaimed. she looked at me closely. then the ugly, old, wrinkled, fat arsed, grey haired, decrepit, witch asked. 'what did you teach?'
  23. Sausage and chips. Post-Second World War drag acts 'in the noisy, smoky, crowded pubs of South London and docklands? drag acts ?'were joining the singers and local comics in the line-up of entertainers for a Saturday night?. Who were these South London drag acts? Boy George mentions from his childhood (late 60s/early 70s) 'Bubbles the drag queen who ran a caff in Dulwich... Used to perform at the Valley Club in Dulwich and spent all his days dishing up sausage, egg and chips to navvies'. There was also George Pinaud, some-time Greenwich market stallholder and drag artist, who set himself up as the Pearly King of Greenwich and Deptford in 1958. His song was of course; I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air. They fly so high, Nearly reach the sky, Then like my dreams, They fade and die. Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere, I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air. May I remark that your invitation so worded nearly made me NOT to reply.
  24. Things are getting a bit tight.
