  1. Jacko, the living proof of the American dream... A poor black kid turning into a rich white man. (With all due respect to those with a sensitive disposition)
  2. I don't think that keyboard is 'English'. Maybe I'm the only one who looked at it ??
  3. In an effort to drag this thread back to topic.... The Queen has NO influence over whatever happens in the EU, as do none of us. We will be pushed, prodded and generally herded like cattle to the greater european state. Our wishes are ignored, our votes are meaningless, our voices are lost amongst countless cries from a union whos peoples care only for more handouts. Great Britain, died at the hands of Heath. HM is no longer a head of state, she absolved that post to some EU non-elected politico a long time ago.
  4. This thread has well cheered me up. I'm so pleased I'm not the only one with 'a good idea at the time' syndrome.
  5. A drunk was proudly showing off his new apartment to a couple of his friends late one night, and led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong. One of the guests asked, "What's that big brass gong for?" "It's not a gong. It's a talking clock," the drunk replied. "A talking clock? Seriously?" asked his astonished friend. "Yep," replied the drunk. "How's it work?" the friend asked, squinting at it. "Watch," the drunk replied. He picked up the mallet, gave it an ear-shattering pound, and stepped back. The three stood looking at one another for a moment. Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "You moron, do you know it's ten past three in the morning!
  6. Two good ole boys in an Oklahoma trailer park were sitting around talking one afternoon over a cold beer After a while the 1st guy says to 2nd, "If'n I was to sneak over to your trailer Saturday & make love to your wife while you was off huntin and she got pregnant and had a baby, would that make us kin?" The 2nd guy crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his head, and squinted his eyes thinking real hard about the question. Finally, he says, "Well, I don't know about kin, but it sure would make us even."
  7. Two guys are pushing their shopping trolleys around a store when they collide. The first guy says to the second guy, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going". The second guy says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate". The first guy says, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like"? The second guy says, "Well, she is 27 yrs old, tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes, big br***ts and is wearing short shorts and a tank top. What does your wife look like"? The first guy says, "Doesn't matter --- let's look for yours."
  8. Officer Fitness Reports The British Military writes OFR's (officer fitness reports). The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness reports is the S206. The following are actual excerpts taken from people's "206's".... - His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity. - I would not breed from this Officer. - This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be. - When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there. - He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction. - He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle. - Technically sound, but socially impossible. - This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere. - This young lady has delusions of adequacy. - When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably. - This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar. - Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig. - She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. - He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age. - This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better. - In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet. - The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship. - Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap. - This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

  10. Barry, or anyone else interested, http://www.pocuk.com/forums/viewforum.php?...77e01b572e42ee0 Pajero owners SVO forum. Started before SVO was legal, and has a lot of valuable info. As for your question about the injectors, pump etc. Frankly I haven't had a problem with anything. Also, my son-in-law runs his Land Cruiser on at least 50% SVO all year round. But, to qualify that statement, I do wonder if Toyota build their 2.4 diesel to run on all sorts of inferior fuels. If you visit Africa or the middle east, almost every other vehicle is a Toyota with the 2.4 engine, and some of the fuel is suspect to say the least. One final point, a lot of guys use a fuel pre-heater which I understand costs about £70 or so. This is supposed to help in cold weather. But, with my engineering skills I'd probably bust something fitting it and end up paying more.
  11. I bought a thing which is a combined float and feeder (Maver - maybe). Set it up on a float rod, filled it with maggots and attempted a cast. Near snapped the rod, didn't go more than six feet, caused the worst tangle I've had in ages, and is now consigned to my garage. Looked like a good idea in the shop !
  12. Barry L, I run a 2.8 diesel Pajero. In the summer months I can add as much as 50% veg oil (SVO) to the diesel in the tank. Always oil first then diesel to get a better mix. But, come the colder months I have to reduce the amount of SVO or th engine throws a hissy fit. Right now I can use 10%, but if it gets any colder, I'll be on neat diesel. Yes, perfectly legal, you can use up to 2,500 litres a year, all you have to do is keep records of how much and when. I have an idea that adding SVO also cuts down emissions.
  13. Very interesting comment, Ant. To which I don't have an answer !!

    Cattle

    Years ago, I used to help out a farmer friend by shooting a lot of pests on his land, rabbit, pigeon etc. He kept a small herd of heifers (fresians) in one meadow until they were old enough to be put into the milking herd. When I walked around this field the heifers would regularly follow me, and indeed on a few occasions they surrounded me. I didn't mind or worry as they were good camouflage. Then for reasons which I can't remember, the farmer introduced a young bull calf (hereford named Joe) into the same field. From then on all bets were off. Even at less than a year, the bull calf could get extremely aggressive, pinned me against a fence once, ruined a barbour jacket on the barb and near frightened me to death. Even firing a shot over it's head didn't achieve anything. Now I won't go into a field where there are bulls, entire or castrated.
