I either wanted to be in the Army or the Merchant Navy, but I kept putting it off and putting it off.... until 1999 when I landed a Job doing Contract wok for for various Military Organisations - did that for 5 years, then applied for the Army Reserves when I emigrated to Australia, so my...

I'd love a built-in FM radio in my HA's..... For one thing it'd stop me from getting bored at work :)

I just put the book down and zonk out... I can feel my eyelids going and can't concentrate trying to visualise whats going on on the page.... yep time for bye-bye :)

Yeah, I have a thing about back-yard breeders. I know a couple of registered dog breeders myself but people who just breed dogs for the sake of making a few bucks from the puppies really annoy me. My Afghan, also was genetically "true" Afghan Hound wasn't a pure breed in the eyes of the...

Hell yeah, straight Skylines of ANY description are hard to come by - and those that do come up for sale over here in WA fetch silly money... buggered ones are ten a penny of course, but it's knowing the difference. I think I'd have to join an owners club or something like that to get a decent...

It did..... I actually feel quite sorry for debunking it!

A step forward for sure... I'd like an App for iPhone/Android that will let me adjust levels etc.... I'm surprised it has been this long in coming..... But having said that, HA's are Medical Devices... how much tinkering with sound levels are programmable Apps allowed to do? Interesting Legal...

Grummer, you had a Skyline? Are we talking Godzilla or the 4-dr variety? I have a hankering for one of these at some point...

Italy can call for whatever sentence they like. The USA won't force Ms. Knox to attend retrial or honour any judgement. Even if the Italian Supreme Court finds her guilty, any extradition attempt will be bound to fail. i'm no great believer in any sort of Beyond, but I hope that Ms. Knox...

Good result for the Afghan - but they're always a Judges favourite... I owned one a few years ago, he was a lovely dog. His Dam won best in class at Crufts some years previously and his Sire was a German pedigree hound. This meant that even though my dog was a pedigree hound he wasn't an...

I own. mortgaged to the tune of A$400,000 (Thats about the same in US Dollars) for a compact 3-bedroom house, But thats West Australia for you. Boom Town - especially for the builders and property developers! I first started renting in 1996, Council Flat in Walsall, UK. Nice little...

'Python Eats Drunk Guy in India' Story Is a Hoax Hoax apparently. My Grandfather was Indian and despite being a complete alcoholic for most of his life ( RAF Warrant Officer during WWII until the 70's and Salesman, Story-Teller and Gambler for the remainder ) would not have batted an...

"Demolition Man", ok, it's a fairly old film now, I like it, not for Sly Stallone's acting, but the supporting cast around him.... Sandra Bullock, Wesley Snipes, Denis Leary... Just a fun film to watch!

Currently re-reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I've read it every year for about the past 11 years. I can quote whole pages of dialogue- yet.... I never get tired of it!

Years ago.... back in the UK, I owned a pair of L1A1 SLR's. It was when I was working for the Army on a disposal and logistics contract, so such things like these were easy to find as the Army still had thousands in storage - despite the fact that all of them were supposed to have been...

Just watched the pixar film Up! on TV.... the first 10 minutes is very emotional..... so much that the rest of the film never really recovers from that.... for a kids film, there's such a lot there.

^ Want. I'm melting over here and it's not even summer yet....

Goodbye Liver!!! I like a strong beer, but surely that's more like a barley wine. Certainly wouldn't be able to just tip it down your neck :) I think the strongest stuff I had was about 22%, you had to sip it... The pub near me sold some of that "Sink the Bismark" 41% stuff recently...

Hi! There are quite a few Aussies and NZ'ers on here, so welcome! Tom.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I like to use fire spells from a distance then move in and dispatch anyone left alive with an enchanted weapon - but I accidentally fried my Wizard a couple of times doing that, so I had to rethink my attack strategies....
