A Few Good Women From Berlin Winker
Posted on: 21 November 2005 by Berlin Fritz
Whils't just strolling past my local bookshop; the dreaded steam pudding thread strangely wafted to mind, and I thought to myself (as you do) I really must order myself a decent English/British Old Fashioned Cookery book with all the basics in it, in the not too distant future, innit Big Grin


Should Baroness Thatcher be arrested and charged for allowing & actively encourageing (Publically) the 'Illegal' marriage and under-age sexual conjugation of an Iranian man and a 13 year old (12 initially)(how many other cases since?) British Citizen in the UK, under her watch as PM ? or are/were National financial considerations more important in the general scheme of things, and people like me should shut the fuck up, or risk firing squad in Gibraltar or Swindon !


Though now British Bobby's are well nicely paid thank you very much, there shouldn't be any further need for them to work black/on the side/whatever you want to call it/greed maybe to get that second holiday or well earned weekend home in France should there! Of course it's always been 'illegal' for Civil Servants' to work other jobs 'without permission' from those actually in a true position to 'legally' give them that 'permission', through fear of undue favour and conflicts of 'Sometimes National/Security' (OSA etc) interest, and jolly good job too, that's what I say, Hurrah to Our Bobbys and squaddies getting decent wages at last Big Grin


P.S. If you think I'm being sarcastic in my last paragraph, then I can only mention 'Quite a few' service people I've known in the past, 'mainly RAF & Army' (under Maggies early watch. strangely enough) who whils't serving then in UK with young families were scandalously under paid (many entitled to benefits-not to be claimed naturally) and had little side jobs here and there just to literally 'survive' as many ex-such folk on here will 'silently' testify to.

N.B. Recent cases in the States of seriously injured service personell returning to the US for treatment (many being left totally alone in their home 'POOR BLACK' environments, then getting baillifs etc turning up, to collect for unpaid medical bills, sometimes even resulting in suicide. The UK couldn't possibly cope with scandal like that (no NHS Jokes please) but even today, (as with the US) if the Service organisations (and I don't mean the MOD either) didn't help and organise these poor 'Hero' bastards lives, nobody else would, and that's a fact Jack, innit Cool

N.B. I wonder if the standard day to day anti Irish chatter & Irish Jokes that I was bombarded with as child in London some 30 years ago, as well as the daily discrimination and hardships Irish prisoners endure 'TODAY' in English prisons, can be classed as 'Racism', or is it just jolly old English banter & fun, that we ourselves would gladly accept and enjoy with equally humorous affection ?

I'm still suffering from severe "Miners lung effect" today thanks Phritters. I can't even stand up without panting for twenty minutes. Day four & I'm sick of herbal medicines. But you have to humour the better half don't you? Smile

There have been some expression of concern over LF effects from wind turbine wings. I can't say I've ever noticed anything from the three half a mile away upwind. The really big one in town can have gear grumble in a stiff wind. I presume the gears are straight cut like a racing gearbox. Reduces end loads but can get a bit "mangley". Nah, you're too young to remember mangles aint yer son?

Dear Nime,

Sounds like you need to see a quack. Sometimes these things get worse the longer they are left, though nobody likes to trot off to the doc as the first signs of something amiss... I am as guilty of this as anyone.

I remember mangles! Both my grannies used them, and my brother and I had immense fun getting the one in Norway going as fast as possible and then dropping the rollers together! The one in Norway was a splendid heavy beast nade at the Lion Works in Gainsborough, Lincs, right opposite where my Uncle owned the main North Lincs Main Ford Dealership. Of straight cut teath in gearboxes, tractors had these well into the '70s, and the transmission was far noisier than than the motor on heavy work like ploughing or rotavating. Even at the time I had enough sense to wear the ear-defenders, though it is harder to listen for things going wrong. I once had a PTO shalf carrying 60 odd horsepower disintegrate with pieces of heavy steel flying alround the cab. Nothing hit me but one window (of clear PVC) was completely ruined, and I guess the result of an impact with my head would have been instant curtains.

Dear Fritz,

What you say about servicemen moonlighting, I can tell you is definately true in my own experience. Every year we had squaddies who timed their leave to co-incide with bale-hauling, and bloody tough workers they were, but they could not admit to doing it. I remember one time one of them thought the bale loader tractor front wheels (eight ply tyres) looked a bit flat under load so he blew them up to a militay pressuer of 180 psi! All was well till the first load of bales! Both tyres went splectacularly pop! There was supposed to be about 55 psi max for that sort of work. Nothing anyone could say though, really, as in those days such information as tyre pressures was not written down anywhere, and so all he was doing was what he had been trained to do. We had three old Salopian grain trailors with ExWD axels and those wheels really did have 180 psi tyres on. In fact one day I spotted one wheel had lost its valve (and therefore the tyre was not under pressure at all), but the trailor had about 4 tons of wheat in it. The tyre was not even slightly distorted. I took it to the garage and there were 32 studs on the split rim! Oxy-acetaline was the only answer and it took and hour to split the rim. I pressume the reason for such a heavy duty tyre was the fact that it would run after a bullet had gone through it!

Tales of old, and nostalgia! All the best from Fredrik

The Sun is running a 'Win a Trip to see the Bastard die' competition soon I believe ! You'll also be able to fire live rounds from a Kalashnikov (biggest human designed human killer of all time) as well as sipping agent orange cocktails, and see how 'we' defeated the commie scum with just ten men and a very young Bruce Willis in nappies (they named a jeep after his Grandad you know!) as many Anzac blokes who were there (unlike yellow Britain) will testify mate Big Grin

Fredders ! I hope those chaps were just earning some decent ale money, innit !

Yes Nime, me old choker, I trust you recover soon mate, reminds me of my uncle George (Yorkshireman & long term miner) who died destitute on the streets of er, London aged 48, leaving a Jordanian wife & 5 kids (long afore) poor chap, though I suppose it was harder in those days (1980's), Britain is much more caring now we're in Europe, innit Boyo Winker

P.S. My uncle got wacked over the head & robbed one night/early morning coming home from a night shift in Stoke Newington by some drunken yobs, who bravely left him in the gutter, and he was never the same again, I suppose never being treated for eternal subsequent headaches etc didn't help either, and courtcase ! This was in er, the real world, not an internet forum for bored brats like moir Eek

The child sex thing is horrible. A danish father has been hiring out his 11 year old daughter. A 75 year-old is charged with having sex with her. Just think how that poor kid has been tortured! It makes my blood boil! I'd hang them by the balls from a christmas tree and let them wither. (As I believe Johnboy once said)

I once had a repulsive colleague who bragged about cheapo far east holidays where he could have half a dozen kids to shag for a week for small change. The tsunami would have worked wonders on that POS.

I might take your professional advice Fredrik and give the quack a chance to poke about a bit. I'll tell her it was your idea. So she's bound to take me seriously. Winker
Posted on: 21 November 2005 by Berlin Fritz
Nime, me old cough drop, you may recall the terrible case of a web of families (Mum's too) which ran to quite a number (60 odd I think in all?) who rented, or swapped their very young kids for sexual 'use' for either debts, or material things/money over a pretty long period of time? This wasn't in Wales, or Windswept Scottish Isles, or indeed Belgium or Asia, it was in er, France, was widely reported er, last month, after a lengthy court case that rocked the Nation to it's very roots psychologically & morally, though with all the recent talk of rioting etc and bloody terrorist foreigners running rampage on here, I can't seem to place a thread, if any discussion at all, at all, on this horrific 'medievalesque' large-scale case of child abuse/cum social ignorance and degradation across the board (All partys were of White European extraction too if my memory serves me correctly) Big Grin


Just a thought, bit daft really, innit Cool

N.B. I've heard that North Sea Rig workers can earn up to nearly €2 an hour (and that's Tax free by God) Winker

You're right there Son, the very thought of seeing it all in the raw & sober, is enough to drive one to self medication innit. I've just devoured some rather nice pancakes with a touch of sugar and plenty of fresh lemon juice, chips tommorow, though with cider vínegar over them, as Sarsons is forbidden here, due to the Worlds finest Purity Law of 1516 (as previously often uttered, innit) Brrrp Eek

P.S. My Lost P-Eye promptly arrived last week too just after my message to them, Unconditional Service with a smile, Now there's a thing of the past, sadly :

I didn't know that lemons have 7 times more Vitamin C than Limes did, I alwasy thought it was t'other way around, the things one leanrs, eh ! innit :
Posted on: 21 November 2005 by Nime
Limes are only 1/7 the size of lemons..?

If memory serves the Royal Navy used limes because they were a lot cheaper (but poorer) option against scurvy than the alternatives at the time. Prepared to be corrected on this.

Make sure you don't eat the peel on your lemons unless they are organically grown. Fruit is some of the most poisonous stuff on the planet. Apples are sprayed typically 27 times in Europe and it's still legal. We buy our organic fruit from a local farm shop.

I like my pancakes stacked in sixes with half a jar of good marmalade (danish Gamle Fabrik) plastered on the first one then rolled up tight. Eaten with a knife and fork (and bib) with a quick shower afterwards. Food fetishist or what? Big Grin

You forgot to add, depending on what one has been smoking first, old bean (or Old Holborn)! I hardly think bringing up uncomfortable subjects as being 'Cliche' if I get your meaning correctly? Denmark, like here has legalised State run & controlled brothels, which admittedly don't stop all human traffic in respect of girls from overseas being abused, I think it's a socially positive thing in respect of removing the rape argument though, from many a nutters head ( I refer to adults here naturally)as well as the health control aspect. I think Prostitution in UK is itself not illegal, but soliciting is, but I'm sure I can be taken totally out of context on that one? Who remembers the farcical Widely- Reported police 'Brothel' raid in Birmingham recently to free (slave workers), who promptly returned again days later of their own free will, making the police look like a right load of old charlies, because some wanker of a naive politician deemed it good viewing for the public at large.

Cheers anyway, I'm totally bloated and tired of this, and wish you once again a gutes besserung, innit Johannes Cool

Nos Da :

P.S. RN crews were eventually forced to eat Sauerkraut (it kept edible for years in barrels and retains mega Vit C content) the political secret remained, mainly through embarrassment, and those that know their HMS Victory stuff etc, will know I lie, or imagine not, irrespective of what Mr Parry and his Holywoodesque fairy tale beliefs tell him, he'll be telling me next that DPG PC Trevor Lock was unarmed at the Iranian Embassy Siege, cos he was there too Cool

Quick last ad-lib question, Does anybody know the brilliant British TV prog 'Brainiac' ? I've
just very surprisingly been informed by a friend in the UK that he's never heard of it, and I thought I was years behind? It's a kind of student (Brit) version of an alternative Tommorows World?

Ah well, I'll check it out again ammorra with some folks in the know, as an answer on here may be like catching a bus in London? plus there's no money involved :
Posted on: 21 November 2005 by Nime
I think you are mistaken about legal danish brothels other than the private ones pay taxes! There is a serious problem with E.European sex slaves being imported illegally and managed for profit. When they thought they were just getting a nice office job. The largest colection of prostitutes in Odense hang around behind the central police station. Most look as if they are paying for a habit.

I hope you weren't opening the window to chuck a rainbow yawn, me old pork pie and Daddy's sauce?

I suppose when Ireland finally becomes united 'Within the next 20 years I reckon' everybody in the future will wonder what all the fuss was about! "Probably those bloody English again, pushing their weight about" many may well say !!! Big Grin

I must admit I was totally shocked & Stunned to learn that the New York Cosmos Soccer team has er, 11 Players 11 Players , then 2 got mysteriously sent off (with RED cards), and then there were only 9 Could this be an extra-terrestial sign of unfathomable proportions ? or is it just some daft twat on an internet forum trying to somehow link the twin towers demise with it, just before Christmas, etc, etc ? Eek

P.S. I trust that's organic Daddies sauce Nime me old China? though unfortunately for me it contains Malt vinegar, so ain't technically allowed over here issit, so I have to stick with me Coleman's English, Great to see that yer tetrapods are bang in order too Son Razz

I was just thinking about our resident Chief Constable's recent 'well meant' comments on here regarding people having the choice in the future where & when they drink in the UK, as Pubs etc, can open & close when they so wish. The only problem I feel with this lovely little analogy is that (as mentioned in post somewhere above) only 170 odd establishments have applied for 24 hour drinking right across the lands. Unlike here (�urope) the new ruling still requires landlords and guvnors to get an annual licence, 'indirectly' through Our Micks Chaps, which means in reality that only a pub with a 24 hour licence can rock when it wants to around the clock, and the others are limited to their respective individual licences and areas. Have I maybe got this all wrong, am I imagining it all, or are licencing laws actually going to change universally rather than local beaks 'still' picking and choosing who they feel 'worthy' of their positive attention, under the direction naturally or the local er, Constabulary, innit? Cool

N.B. The biggest problem the boss of my local hostiliery has (a very small independent business) is the possible near-future arrival (as in England) of a total smoking ban in public places. He's seriously considering making it into a private club affair to get around it, as most of his punters smoke, and he'll lose them (he will too), so! cheaper Brasso all round then I reckon, it'll be just like Our Mick and his Chaps down at the Lodge, who can drink when and where they want, as they always have been able so to do, innthey Big Grin
