  1. Been down a little while in mixed woodland along with a nice ash and sycamore, any ideas? Many thanks
  2. Well it appears you aren't what's his face off the Hood!
  3. "You are Kolley Kibber and I claim my £5!"
  4. Yes, but pretty much like a lot of forums. Just checked THL and stalking directory, not been there in years, and SD has got its own political section away from off topic that you have to be a member to access, but there's a few political threads still on off topic, THL used to be anything goes including lots of illegality. The political side is much the same. I came here to learn a bit but in the first topic I got jumped on and from then on it was the same old same old. However the eye openers were lying to promote a political stance and being happy for people to die to save a couple of quid. Forums are becoming echo chambers that seem to be allowed so that there is traffic otherwise people just go to face ache and ask a question on a relevant page for a quick answer. Lots of knowledge is available across this and other fora, but as AI bites I wonder if eventually they will die away slowly and the knowledge is drawn up (givenaway?) into knowledge bases through AI?
  5. Absolutely, though as others say, diagnosis is on the rise. My wife worked with many children and young people who were on the spectrum and we also knew several families where it was prevalent from grandparents to great grandchildren and across the whole spectrum. Taking Mencken into account, I wonder if it is just a case of keeping oneself in the limelight by saying something...anything?
  6. Well let's just have a look shall we, out of nowhere you insult me and immediately ask what ships I was on. Normally if it is just a side issue a DM would suffice, but due to your nature in other threads this was unlikely as you have had a go at people because they aren't in the arb business, so that is why I asked why. If you had asked if I served on Richmond or Fort George then it would have been a quick conversation, however that's not good enough for you and you press on and so I give the only one that had been built at Swans, but rather than type in her full title I chose to use the pennant number, but that wasn't enough nor a single ship. So I gave you photos and all the seagoing pennant numbers and all the delightful and not so delightful places we visited and for some reason you still want me to put the names up? As others start to question why you need such info you double down. "There wasn’t really any point as such in the question nor any need for a random name to be thrown in or for it becoming a pissing contest of who’s been where and to what port or pub. " If there wasn't a point surely you drop it before those comments above? No, you have to fight your corner and start belittling people who are giving you an out, but you can't back away from the hole you dug. So you keep it up. I gave you the names of them, why you couldn't Google them I don't know. If you want I can look at my records and give you dates of joining/leaving and also the shore bases, Fisgard, Sultan, Caledonia, Nelson, Royal Arthur, Drake. "Don’t judge people by your own standards lad" Lad? More belittling and diverting and eventually off on a tangent about RN TV shows. You tried to call me out as a Walt, it didn't work, get back under your bridge.
  7. Oh the irony!
  8. Certainly looks like a Tawny but I don't think its a bullet hole, I think a fox or similar has taken the head but without getting hands on it is not easy to tell
  9. Yeah yeah!
  10. So @eggsarascal its been 4 weeks since your story about your friends at Cleethorpes and we've waited patiently for media stories to come out about the bus loads of immigrants but there has been nothing. I think that an explanation is needed or people can think the worst about you.
  11. So why ask? You were trying to Walt me, I've given you enough there I think.
  12. It's quicker to use the pennant numbers but just for the pedant, Glasgow, Battleaxe, Alacrity and Arrow, did you check any of these out?
  13. Oh yeah, Egmond en zee, Mobile and Pensacola...and Tappanzee.
  14. No you edited. You need to ask nicely then... ... like I said... ...relevant one has been, what's the point? D88, F89, F173, F174, do you need dates i joined and left? MEO's names, Chief stoker's sea daddies names, killick of the mess/Jimmy the ones names on each one, which mess, official number? How about run ashores? Columbo, Karachi, Manama, somewhere in the UAE, Djibouti, Athens, Charlie's hole in the wall bar Gib, Lisbon and Estoril, Brest, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Den Helder, Hamburg, Bremen, Copenhagen, Oslo, Tromso, somewhere in the Kola inlet/Barents sea (no run ashore but a visit to the Arctic ice sheet an incident with the Admiral Isakov), Halifax NS, St John NB, Noo Yoyk, Charleston, W Palm Beach, Ft Lauderdale, Bermuda, Funchal, Freeport, Nassau, Andros, Road town BVI, I didn't get off at Ascension but we was there, Port Stanley (the Globe) and West Falkland. Might have missed a few but hey,it's been a while.
  15. The only one of relevance to swans I have named, what is it you want? Second question, Davy is the one next to me. This is around 70 of the ships company at our 40th anniversary LTBAD at the ship anson in Portsmouth, I'm behind the camera somewhere. One more time, what's your point?
  16. Well I wasn't at swans but my first seagoing ship was but my mate cloggy was on her from crewing up, does that help? D88. I'm in this photo but he'd left but rejoined a year or so later so isn't, I'm next to Davy.
  17. You trying to call me a Walt? Don't even think about it.
  18. You love a bit of click bait, one person says... They helped our troops in Afghanistan!
  19. That means a lot of people need to be paid off as threats against lots of people wouldn't work and even then its a lot of people and money and not everyone will comply, and they could leave testimonials that would be released after their death implicating those above and below them.
  20. So why weren't they found? The many images of children and women were. Again what evidence is there?
  21. Yes I understand, the question is why you get het up by the term racist, but libtard seems to be OK?
  22. I believe that in the USA it is, a minor cannot give consent to any sex act as they are under the legal age of consent, so it comes under the umbrella terms of which the US has many but they mean rape, whether they want sex with the adult, are forced, procured etc etc
  23. But libtard is OK? Wuckfittery of the highest quality
