Nottinghamshire Totally Snowed in!

N.B. An undercover special forces cop (working black so must remain clueless) said through a veiled woice that he and his 'Anti- Hypermarket child-abuse squad' were hot on the trail, of both cashiers who weren't up to scratch, and 'yooofs' who lied about their ages to purchase cheap 'Booze'. 'Some are only 17' he said, 'and have been doing it for weeks'. One girl suspect said 'Me Dads too pissed to go shopping, so I came down with my little sister to get his Christmas beer & fags in his motor, as I've just passed my driving test'

There goes her future career as a taxi driver, and another young life lost to Booze, throw the bloody book at her, that's what some people might well say! (so long as it's not their own kids naturally)(She could always become a Copper! Quiet there at the back!)

Bring out the Green Goddessess that's what I say, when they break down, you'll never shift the bastards again: think of the profit for the Council run tow companys, etc, etc. (Cynical No! Real Yes)

Wait until the summer comes, there'll be no water:


STOPPRESS:::::

Reports are gushing in from as far as Lybia, Abu Dabi, Swindon, and Perth WA, that previously unknown blizzards have all but blocked them in, with some drifts reaching as high as 5 Miles into the SKY NEWS. It's been suggested by a 'Journo' that a govt Minister might consider saying (though this is only speculation at the moment) that all of these catastrophic events (and many more to come) are all a delayed-reaction as a result of the Hemel Hemstead Global Bonfire, started by Greenpeace terrorists*****


Nobody was awailable for further comment at this stage (as they're all questioning what they can get out of this nice little earner, acting purely as Consultants of course)

A covering of snow must make it a snow job, so with the wind blowing as well does that make it very cold?

But I'm quite relaxed about it actually, just one of those things really.

Steve

I feel that if I personally 'asked' her once as my neighbour then that would suffice, if not I would simply destroy her car in front of her family

By destroy, I naturally mean in the 'Jeremy Clarkson verbal sense of the word' and nothing er, illegal, I wouldn't dream of such a ting, and think of what the neighbours might say!

I'm afraid I don't quite get your drift Son?

I imagine that as with here in Germany/Europe, now that England's in the club too, it's highly illegal to drive without proper winter tyres? I mean you'd have to be a total Goon to even contemplate it, innit Spike


P.S. Luigi! I heard some very old classics on a very green olive-drab system yesterday too

Though the speaker cables were painted pink I think?

hehehehehehehehe
That's consumerism?
Attracted by colours and legal "drugs" as a sort of ancient native.
But still someone is sure he's better only because can have pink cables at ten times the price of a black one.

Olive drab!
The color of my old uniform.............
And the color of the trousers i have on now: old est germany army stuff i can get for peanuts at flea market.
So i can save for pricey piece of system!


PS: it's snowing here as well and it adds to the ice of the last one.

The British Army love that colour too; Luigi me old Trooper

Last week everybody's favourite 5 Star Airline, namely Qatar Airways began a regular route to Berlin (via Leicester I think?). It came to mind whils't recently watching one of their 'occassional adverts', that the English version of one of them might go down quite wrongly, though amusingly here in Germany, getting lost in translation so to speak.

'Icing sugar floating over a sticky bun'

"Mist ! As seen by Qatar Airways Passangers'

Mist auf Deutsch = Horse Shit

Steamin

We'll be having no horse shit on this forum thankyou very much. Reminds us too much of hunting which is now as strictly illegal as animal cruelty and trespass and we don't want to get overexcited do we? Besides bullshit is more our stock in trade. (Compost to you Sir Phritz!)

Quite right, though Our Elton used to swear by it for strengthening his natural hair roots, or was it Madgeure?

The Berlin local news has just announced a cracker that's really gonna affect a lot of people I reckon! As from next year all private individuals who use a 'tax Consultant' 'IFA' will not in future be able to claim that fee the following year as part of their returns, which in turn will put a lot of people out of business, innit.

P.S. Early 80's I was driving a brand new Orkney Dory rescue boat with a Johnson 70
pushing it along my local lake, in running in trials & tests etc mode, before the 'Pro's' at my Club were allowed their mucky hands on it, and quickly knock the balls out of it, as per usual, in the name of 'I don't know what the fuck I'm doing but i Is a Senior Hofficer so get out of my way man', when the local water police glided up to me (we worked together often, as with Germany's version of the RNLI, namely the DLRG, and over the Tannoy 'deliberately for all and sundrie to hear' called me over by the crafts new name, proudly emblazened on the side, next to a union flag, etc. They were all laughing loudly, and as my German at the time wasn't too brilliant I didn't get the joke: until the Skipper told me that the wonderful name, (chosen by the Committee of the British Berlin Yacht Club) meant Havel (as in Berlin river, & Mist, as in Horse Manure) 'Havel Mist' , it was quickly changed, though I did let it ride for a day or two before happening to mention it to my boss at the time, Oh what fun we had****

My old workshop at the top middle-right from 81-89 wunnit: It was amazing how many weekend 'experts' there are in this field, even though it was a lake, innit

Originally run for Hermann Goering, and Sunderlands landed there later too (In Our Micks day):

P.S. When the water was solid ice (sometimes right across) and everywhere was covered in snow (up to 2 meters sometimes, I had to stay there). Those big green things were the 'Mince Pie Platforms' where we launched said pastries (amongst many other things) at Drunken Sailors, innit

Fritz,

Would like to add to your totally accurate initial post that Notts is not snowed in...Indeed i today ventured out as far south as Luton Airport, depositing my missuse on a flight to sunner climbs to go see her dad, whilst I slave away polishing all four gatso cameras, for whom its far too cold for them to be out at this time of year...

Disclaimer: All of the above was said in jest, and no offence was meant ot anyone, gatso's or otherwise...

It might be truthfully said that my good wife, today alone, cleared more snow from our own drive than could be usefully found in the whole County of Nottinghamshire on this fine, December Tuesday in The Year of Our Lord 2005! Or words to that effect. Burp!

That is good to hear Our Andy! though I'm afraid I'm not very convercent with the Gatso, I only know a touch about their predecessor the Old Fatso & So

So your wife is Scottish then John?

I recently recieved a rather lovely (and very expensive (she left the price in)) book all about the history of Martin guitars, of which I'm inordinately fond (the guitars that is; for the smart gits our there!). My point here being, that it's all well and good (in my opinion) to discuss all aspects of ones chosen beloved hifi system(s) (or geetars), wether on the main forum relating to all things hifi (or music, or whatever!), or in this forum's case 'The Padded Cell' as an example: but when 'you/one' starts a 'serious' thread about the ins & outs of the quality of the said firms recent main Website changes, you've gotta a serious fucking problem as far as I can see Chaps; but Hey! You know me, I ain''t sayin nuffink, innit

I suppose when I consider what I've 'consumed' through various TV experiences this evening alone; wether it be murder most foul & Ahoi with Margaret R,, Mega-science-fiction death a'la Philip K.Dick on other planets in the future, or Spag-Westerns superior starring Brando & Coburn, blowing up & Wiping out everything in sight in the name of the Revolution (& kids & pretty women helping and dying to- boot) (non Beatles or Orbison), not to mention, psycho bollocks from Mr McKewen, jumping onto his trainspottin bandwaggon (good as it was) as a fucked up Dick, God Knows wherever? it's hardly surprising that Jesus, Lennon, & Robbie Willimas are popular for five minutes or so a year, innit

PC: only suits wealthy comfortable bosses by the way! and also those that constantly 'Discuss' it, ie, avoiding the issue³' are WEAK PATHETIC EXCUSES FOR HUMAN BEINGS IN A 'Civilised' SOCIETY, and are as usual just playin for time, when they personally can get out 'Lookin Clean Boy' innit:

Obvious, innit Tom

Apparently by proving that Africans/Arabs enslaved tens of millions of their own kind for Centuries, the white man is justified in doing the same?

Goodnight

N.B. I wonder how long it will take afore 'intelligent' students are allowed to 'think' as part of their studies, rather than just repeating 'rabbit-patter-photographic-memory' for the massess, and subsequently ending up as 'teachers' & doing exactly the same thing just to furnish their academical (though most realistic) debts, innit?

Dunno mate. Debt was frowned upon in my day.

The M.O.T. for many teachers came with the banning of physical punishment. The sadistic disciplinarians must have wept into their homework. (which the lazy arses were busy marking in front of a class instead of inspiring the youth of their day!) The only knowledge they ever passed on was the use of sarcasm as a weapon. A skill finely-honed over years of completely wasted effort. (of generations of their unfortunate students in ever attending their classes)

Following the sermon we shall have two rousing verses of "Teacher! Leave those kids alone!" Sung to the tune of: "God Bless Ye Merry Gentlemen!"

The big question is in my mind, wether the higher beings on the old Pink Solomon Show will still be rabbitting on in circles about 'Speeding' right through to the summer of 2007, when they'll have to start paying their fines in �uros, innit?


I ain't sayin a dicky bird, you know me!

I'm sure last nights wine was corked, I've got a hell of a headache this moaning, mind you the old lumbago's gone at last, jolly fun that was too:

I heard a jolly Politibetjent on the Danish radio (as you do) who remarked that those Jonny foreigners previously allowed to get away scot free for the heinous crime of exceeding the local speed wotist while on their hols, or on urgent business, will now get a nasty shock when they get home, thanks to the EU. When the alien barstewards are caught speeding, while abroad (as they are wont to do) the local police will send a bill to the police in the relevant EU land to collect the fine. But they are keeping it a secret! Jolly japes eh what?

Ever so sorry to hear about the hangover Phritz.
Do you want me to stand in for you today?

Talking of arrested developments Our Nime; I wonder if any of our fellow members know anything about the basics of British Law, God forbid? as I found this most interesting, innit, but you know me John, I always call a shovel a spade, diggit



Under pressure from Israel, the British government looks set to rewrite legislation on international offences such as torture and war crimes which in the past has enabled the UK to bring Nazis and Afghan warlords to Justice.

Last month a delegation from Israel's foreign and law ministries met their counterparts in the UK. The meeting, according to British ministers, "was confidential". But not so in Israel, where the media reported that the delegation was assured that Britain is poised to change the law to ensure that no Israeli military or government personell would ever be arrested for war crimes should they venture on to UK soil. This move follows events last summer, when lawyers acting for innocent civilian Palestinians caught up in so called "targeted killings" and mass house demolitions in the then-occupied Gaza strip, obtained an unprecedented arrest warrant for war crimes against Major General Doron Almog, former commander of the occupying forces.

Under the Geneva Convention, the UK has universal juristriction to arrest and try those from an occupying force who are accused of war crimes if they are percieved to operate within a culture of impunity in their own country. With fewer than 5 percent of civilian deaths caused by military action being investigated by Israeli authorities, Palestinian human rights groups had sought Almog's arrest in the UK. Although a series of allegations were made about several killings, the senior magistrate at London's Bow Street only granted the warrant in respect of the demolotion of 59 houses in the Rafah refugee camp in 2002. When Almog flew into Heathrow airport on 11 September, Scotland Yard officers were waiting to arrest him. Allegedly tipped off by police sources, the Israeli embassy told Almog to stay on the plane and return to Israel.

Ariel Sharon was said to be furious about the attempted arrest and it seems a major diplomatic row was only averted when the British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw apologised. At the time Almog was in command in Gaza, Straw was scathing about deaths there. He described the killing of 15 civilians, including nine children, in one "targeted attack" - where a one tonne bomb was dropped on Gaza City - as "unjustified and disproportionate". After the killing of a pregnant mother in her home, he urged Israel to act within internation law. Straw has also described the policy of mass home demolitions in Rafah as amounting to collective punishment - the very same cases in which Almog was alleged to have been implicated. But no one seems prepared to take Israeli diplomats to task for apparently perverting the course of justice by assisting Almog to avoid arrest. Word has it that, under extra pressure from the US (which feared that its military might also be subject to an arrest warrant in the UK if its members stopped off on their way back from Iraq), the government is now preparing to change the law so that such a warrant could only be applied for by the attorney-general, as an exectutive political rather than judicial decision.

P.S.

I could have sworn that the attorney-general is Our Tony's old Boss! Well I'll be sizzled, innit:

I suppose what with the HH Bonfire to show England's renewed committment to Kyoto; as well as the French & German's putting up the price of British Gas and petrol deliberatley in winter, (Shabby European trick) causing a new Ice Age, the likes of which even Rupert Murdoch has never seen, and on top of that, it being nearly 2006, and millions of struggling UK pensioners still haven't got double glazing in their TV Licence free homes (Over 75's that is), it makes yer wonder really, duunit?

Hardly surprising then that Our Mick wants to cut & Run to Spain, issit

N.B.

Spanish Copper knocks on Our Micks ranch door! "Seno'r Parry, eeer is some speeding fines from Our British colleagues, just for you, Cash Now Please, or you is nicked Juan, innit" (Don't forget the Police Charity balls either)

Here in sunny Nottinghamshire most of the snow has melted.

I'm still wondering whether it's safe to out though.
