the day the teevee died...

Roland Garros gave his life by diving his Spad into a zeppelin just before it bombed Nancy

Samuel Cunard
175th Aniversary of the Cunard LIne this year.
At his peak Cunard had over 300 vessels and he knew at all times where every one was, the type of cargo and the number of passengers.
We all have that capacity to do similar feats of memory that but very few do.

Jeremy Wells.
You have to know Jeremy that adults dont get offended.
They see life as it is and know that it takes all types.
As far as I can see your remarks were not racist by definition but the children among us just want to cut you down because it is easier than actually thinking about the reality of little twerps like hoskings erected by the media to amuse pinheads!.

Talking about fleas I read the column in the local sausage wrapper by Ricky Long about the flag and his reasoning was non existent.
Just a mishmash of opinions with a non sequitur conclusion attached.
He does not seem to realise that flags as distinguished from pennants were introduced as maritime signals and recognition features.
Its only the piss weak machinations of people like Boag and Hooton who want to sell stuff and are filled with false pride about others transient and basically inconsequential achievements that are the driving forces behind this projection.
What a pretty pass when New Zealand is at the mercy of boosters drummers, travelling salesmen and any other overproud musclebound noonoo head.

Ricky got another serve in the letters from one Jan Farr over his analysis of Karl Marx's Kapital.
ho hum.
As far as I can see the only thing Marx got right was his observation in the preamble to the Communist Manifesto which asked, "who Called these people from the soil".
He never had any ideas about how goods were made or what it took to make them.
Just hurling invective at a dead man is not going to change anything Ricky but I suppose it keeps the nattering classes amused.
You know.the ones who need crap like like yours to justify their empty and meaningless lives.
