Nah, there MUST be some positive aspects to Chelmsford ??? BB on the other hand.....

Billy Bragg, pleeeeeease say you’re having a giraffe! ??

me too....! I know where it’s NOT, it’s not where it should be with looming deadlines....

I’ve seen it used, but didn’t know, or have the inclination to look-up what SJW actually meant (done it now) and the good news is YES! You would still qualify as a SJW if the injustice you were warrioringinging against, was the social injustice of the flagellating the poor, honest, hard working man under the crushing burden of centrally imposed taxation which is frittered away on the feckless, the idle and the immobile (and Jonny Foreigner of course!) We can be warriors together! Brothers in arms!!

Just have one! It's better than paying tax!!

That wasn't what I was intimating... Probably more that, since we aren't, those that are are making a fine horses ass of it... Careful what you wish for, you might just get it It was more a (rather tired) reflection on the current, apparent, tendency (in certain 1/4s) to attempt, on the one hand, to criticise that which we don't have the ability to change and on the other, to wish to somehow re-write history so as only to record those bits that support an anti-imperialist record. It's not restricted to single issues mind. Whilst doing a ceremonial Oak planting at the nippers school a couple of weekends back, one of the teachers read a poem which referred to the historic use of English Oak and the men that built the ships that made for a great nation.... The reader 'corrected' herself and said "perhaps I should say 'men and women that built the ships...' Well, no actually, it WOULD have been men NOT men and women - at that point in time. Ridiculous to seek to re-write history based upon today's standards...

Let it go Mr Egg, read a book! Justme knows his onions! Get a new van and be done with it....

Great shame.... The dependents of those terribly mistreated and exploited indigenous peoples are very quick to condemn, at every turn, the heinous crimes of the Empire - as exampled by Abeera Kamran; artivist, Aliyah Hasinah; writer, Mariam Khan; cultural activist, Sara Myers; textile designer, Shaheen Kasmani, writer and researcher Sumaya Kassim in their museum exhibition: The Past is Now - Birmingham’s relationship to the British Empire. http://www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/bmag/whats-on/the-past-is-now-birmingham-and-the-british-empire Whilst simultaneously seeming to gloss over the fact that their very existence, their current country of residence, and their ability to express their criticism is a demonstrable example of the positive consequences of post Empire. Similarly, I wonder if Sheku Kannech-Mason's BAFTA BBC Young Musician of the Year award for his recital of Bach's Cello Suite No.1 in G major would have carried quite the same impact if he'd used a goat skin drum? I'm guessing no.... At least, post Empire, we have the exemplar scenarios of sound governance, social stability, peace, prosperity and economic growth in those former colonies.... Oh no, we don't do we.....

Hellish here in Cornwall this morning! There’s folks cutting grass already!!

For that error I apologise, I must have confused one of our earlier exchanges with someone else. To be fair, you’ve probably done a good deal more research (or to use another turn of phrase - internet stalking - than I have). Mark, come on, grow a pair, you can’t start with the personal stuff then cry “bullying” when matched with equal and opposite... its pathetic... Ill make a pledge to ignore your general political posts, probably best all round...

My having told a ?? that he is, indeed, a ??is sufficient justification for you (as clever and important as you must be) to declare your desire to abolish that which was established by His late Majesty King George the Fifth, by letters Patent under the Great Seal, bearing date at Westminster the Fourth day of June, One thousand nine hundred and seventeen, in the Eighth year of his reign, whereby He did institute, erect, constitute and create an Order of Knighthood to be called and known for ever thereafter by the name, style and designation of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire whereof His said Majesty and His heirs and successors for ever should be Sovereigns, and did by the said Letters and Patent ordain and declare that the said Order should be governed by Statutes and Ordinances to be established by The Sovereign and sealed by The Sovereign and by the Seal of said order. We truly are in exalted company.... I have checked the letters Patent, my "crime", being the free expression of a justifiable opinion, unfortunately (for you) doesn't feature as sufficiently heinous to require forfeiture... (Soz....) Your case.... What exactly is "your case?" That you're a small minded underachiever with a chip on both shoulders and a propensity for amateur psychoanalysis that was once hard done by by an officer so you think that justifies your life long dislike of commissioned ranks, your petty digs, your internet stalking and your freedom to shout your Marxist BS louder than anyone else and not expect to be recognised and challenged as the mob retard Momentum gob piece personality that you project? How's that working out for you? Your previous snidy digs haven't gone unnoticed, they've just been ignored - as will continue. You have a right to your opinion (clearly based upon your obvious love affair with Comrade Corbyn and his motley Marxist crew, God help us that there are sufficient sane people in this Great Nation that can see through his (and your) traitorous tendencies), but, unfortunately (for you) it doesn't trump, supersede or usurp those that hold an alternative view. @Gary Prentice You alright for popcorn there Gary?

The double act...... Legend!

Mark, without respect, it is YOU that has a jaundiced view of (a) me and (b) reality - and here's where the irony kicks in, I suspect it is your former service that has clouded your judgement. Struggle as I have to try and remain above to your petty, amateur psychoanalysis, I find myself always coming back to the basest of urges to smack you up bitch....

They tried to mug me off with a Yaris too.... Not happening! I was there Friday morning listening to all the patter... "...We can't get a Hilux until April, that's what the hold up is..." 20m away is the king cab tipper + tow hitch (that doesn't appear to have moved since the last time I was there) so I'm having that when they get mine booked into the body shop in Southampton. Name rings a bell! Did he stay in a while and get WO? Vaguely remember seeing him somewhere many years after Brazen. Long shot... Did you do the 2000 Whistler exped?

Dr Liam Fox summed it up quite nicely on Andrew Marr this morning.... Labour Left, during the Cold War were the Soviet Union's useful idiots and they undermined the National interest.....

Blink for a minute, and the next thing you know the farmers forum boys have taken over!

Royal, Here are some email extracts to/from Snows about the camera issue. If they'd put half as much effort into resolving it when first raised (which was pretty much on receipt of the vehicle) as they did prevaricating, obfuscating and ignoring the issue (and suggesting I clean the windscreen) it would have been solved a good deal sooner! It took about 7 months of complaint / chase-up to get it resolved - and that only happened after they'd received a technical update from Toyota notifying the problem as a 'type' issue, presumably for all vehicles. Begs the question, why hasn't there been a recall / upgrade since this single issue has an impact on many of the safety systems? There's no way they can (legitimately) claim this to be an unknown quantity. If you want the original emails to help fight the cause happy to fire them over. (That chipping hammer / red lead thing.... That only ever happened when Royal was embarked and it was just a means to keep them busy and out of trouble... It was just a ruse to distract them from getting into mischief! I was in Brazen (87ish) when Flo Nightingale and (I think it was Paul) Savage fired the 66 in the booties barracks on 2 deck. It didn't arm cause it only travelled across the mess table before embedding in Ronnie Campbell's kit bag where it proceeded to spew it's propellant around the mess... Ronnie dived on it and put it out with his bare hands which resulted in him having his mits bandaged up like 16oz boxing gloves for a fortnight. He must have had some Duty Frees in his kit bag which were worth saving.....) ....And that's what happens when Royal gets bored at sea! (to Jo Letts) 25 Jan 17: "...Forward facing camera - this appears to be so sensitive as to be almost unusable. The “not available” message is displayed with such frequency and in notably benign environmental conditions as to create a distraction when the message is displayed and to make the associated safety features unavailable. Whilst accepting that the camera may become obscured by external dirt, it should be noted that the vehicle and windscreen are spotlessly clean leading to the question of wether the problem lies with the camera housing?" (to Jo Letts) 31 Mar 17: "...2. When the vehicle was in for works recently, one of the issues was the functionality of the forward facing camera. Service dept said it had been referred to Toyota. Having used the loan vehicle over 2 weeks (zero issue with the camera) and having had mine returned (daily error message with camera), it is quite clear to me that there is a problem to be addressed here. What progress / feedback from Toyota?" (from Richard Curle) 3 May 17 "...Just to update you on the camera. Toyota are replacing the control unit with an updated version they have also changed the shroud over the camera with one that is heated to avoid issues with condensation, once that has been done we then set up and re-calibrate the system from new again. So apart from the camera itself and the suction bracket everything else has been replaced with the latest equipment. I hope that all makes sense..."

There's an upgrade for the front camera. I was kicking off about it for months until finally they said Toyota had acknowledged that the spongy / foamy gasket is retaining moisture which, after the windscreen has cleared, traps the moisture inside the camera mounting which 'fogs' the camera lens. The upgrade was a heating element in the camera mount. Check see if it's been done for yours. Are you Snows Plymouth?? If yes, they know full f*king well what they should be doing!! 33.7mpg is my average, but I'm lanes and short trips...

Not impressed Gary

1 year on, 2016 Hilux, if you’ve got one, I’d recommend a really good clean and check the paintwork underneath. I first spotted this after first service Nov 17 (they must have jet washed the wheel arches) and highlighted it to service manager at Snows Plymouth. He had a dismissive attitude at that time and didn’t bother to follow up after I’d emailed the pics to him. Dec I went in and “discussed” it with his boss and was showered in apologies and solutions. After hearing exactly nothing since then, Friday just gone I happened to be in Plymouth so went in again. Service manager “You won’t believe it, we were just talking about this yesterday” ”you’re right, I don’t, but since it’s worse than when I first raised it in Nov, I’d like a solution please.” So now it’s going back to the factory body shop at Southampton on a loader for a re-work of the underside paintwork. Well worth a close close check if you have a late Hilux!

Don't mention the "G" word.... There'll be hell on!!
