Well if you and others knew what the security services were doing it wouldn't be very secure would it? 🤔

I agree, that's novo virus 🤣

Sounds pretty spectacular Pete, especially the Douro valley for some of best wines in the world at knock out prices 🍷🍷🍷

What route from Wiltshire did you take if you don't mind me asking? 😎

Good Heavens! A sensible, articulate comment, what ever is this world coming too? 😅

I seem to recall Anthony Dyer covered this off in one of his many vids?

Think of it in time passing Malc, if you counted one per second then one trillion seconds of ordinary clock time =( 1012 sec)/( 3.16 x 107 sec/yr) = 31,546 years! About the same time ago as the first pottery known on planet earth 😱

Not quite sure how Latin can be the "mother" when Greek not only preceded it by more than two thousand years but thousands of Latin words are loaned from ancient Greek! As to yoghurt, well, it's a living, vibrant ecosystem that can only be fully appreciated when consumed by a similar energised body 🤣

"Ten soldiers wisely led can overcome 100 without a head", Euripides When I read comments from people like your good self who has laid out good money I am reminded of this ancient Greek observation on life. Just look at the competitive landscape and you get this nagging feeling we are mired in latent emotional fondness. Bit like refusing to accept your dear Mama was not the best cook in the entire world 😎

Interesting point Malc, are you saying a 40 +year old car, assuming well cared for, would fetch less today than then? I do recall being offered in the seventies a CKD E-type, released from the Suez canal embargo for £1500 which I declined , one of my many errors of judgement 🤣

I think a Greek said something similar a few years ago 😎*Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You aren’t a child anymore…. The longer you wait, the more you’ll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better. From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do – now.” – Epictetus

Interesting opinion Bill but don't lose heart, even tankers get turned around given time. Todays auction failure is yet another indication of commercial firms coming to terms with the reality of real word costs and associated risks. There are dire warnings coming out of Germany as to their direction of travel and it ain't uppards. Also today the City of London claim the UK can be the powerhouse of fintech and green finance. You will note no mention of the manufacturing jobs that means to other than Asia.

There is one Malc, it's called Classic Cars as an investment as they appreciate in value,but only if you own a classic.

Such memories Len of Barry Cryer, Humph, Willie Rushton not forgetting the News Quiz from those days 😎, on YT you can find the 1993-2007 all of Samantha's contributions 👍

Sue then? Why she is the sister of Nowand of course 😅

Wax off. Every time I see the word wax I am reminded of "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" and Humph Lyttelton speaking of Samantha who hands down some of his 7inch records to an elderly helper who takes off the dust and wax off 🤣🤣🤣. Pure filth, double-entendres at its very best 🥳

Make everyone self-employed, works wonders for motivation 👍

Crikey Mikey, have your meds not made any difference? Sue I say 😎

A 120 mile round trip to where you live Len, 😅

No, they were waiting for William III 😎

Because the Romans wouldn't agree to dual language signs in Latin 😂

I was thinking more like this? 😅

I always wondered what the Romans ever did for us? 🤣

RX450H gen 3. For the avoidance of any doubt I contacted Lexus UK and received this reply ; Thank you for your contact to Lexus UK. I can advise that your Lexus RX is a 3rd generation RX and has a different set-up which means it has not been targeted for theft via the CAN Bus system, which you may have read about on online forums. I can also confirm that the vehicle protective plate which has been developed is not suitable or necessary for your RX. I hope that addresses to point you have raised and thank you for contacting Lexus UK. Kind regards Claire Dean Lexus Customer Relations Case Manager Toyota (GB) PLC - Lexus Division The reply does not display a particularly adept command of the English language but is at least reassuring for older vehicle owners. I thought the sign-off interesting, Toyota GB, Lexus division when I wrote to Lexus UK?

Oh dear Nick, you started off so well and like so many others descend into biting the hand that feeds you! This is a great country, always has been yet acts like a magnet for the criterati - why? At the same time acts like a magnet for people wanting to come here - why? You are standing on the shoulders of giants, appreciate it. As to the two middle eastern airlines you mention perhaps they have seen the Virgin airlines ad and don't see their future being that inclusive.
