Whilst I too have little sympathy with Cummings, you are being extraordinarily naïve, if you think that is the reason why there have been so many deaths, or is it just that you want to believe that? from what I see on the streets here, the knobheads who have no intention of wearing a mask would...

Thanks for that We didn't go over to Lemgo much, preferring to travel to Hameln (lovely old town) and Minden. As I recall, but it was largely before my time, there was a NATO Dutch regiment near Lemgo. When I first went to the BMH as a visitor in 1980 (we lived in Rinteln for 24 years...

When this thread came up, I wondered if anyone else would come up with Rinteln, and yes, you were here too. Have you been back since? The hospital was extended and then in the late 1990s handed back to the town of Rinteln, when the British Forces were allocated German hospitals near to their...

Coincidence. I was born at the BMH (British Military Hospital ) at Rinteln,(dad in the Army of Occupation) and now live in Hastings!

Exactly. Well said. I am truly amazed that some posters seem to think it is minor and not worth worrying about.

I don't think that we obliterated either country, as you put it, but accept that you needed to exaggerate to lend some credence to your point. And as to whether we have accepted the intervention, I am sure that at the time, there was huge opposition to the invasion of Iraq and to this day...

How far back do we go? After this pandemic allows us to travel I suggest we all go over to Rouen, and apologise for burning poor old Joan.

While "your bloke at work " -if that is not made up to give credence to your own prejudices -may or may not have said that, it is absurd of you in your first paragraph to claim that so many millions think as simply as you describe. Ironically, you take "the bloke at work "to task for a massive...

Not forgetting the two Polish lads, who will join, in one case possibly as early as January.

It was cut off, as you put it, by millions exercising their right to vote, and they quite clearly decided that his vision was not for them, or indeed practical.

Oh, I think have grasped this very well, and your response is just sadly typical of those who profess to welcome them. Let's make ourselves look good, and say nice things, but please can they be housed well away, and someone else can welcome them. IF you don't trust them to live under your roof...

Albanians made up 10 per cent of the 9,283 foreign nationals held in jails compared with 2 per cent in 2013 when a deal was signed to enable the compulsory transfer of prisoners to Albania to serve their sentences there. ... The number of Albanians in jail has soared from 212 in March 2013 to...

Because they might have been told how welcoming you are and that you wish to help them . I am sure that you will be pleased to do this.

Was that Killer Reeves the art teacher? PM me for stories if it is.

In theory you are right -it is better to be in rather than out, if you wish to instigate change. But given that we have been members for decades, the practice would not seem to bear this out, sadly. Try suggesting, for example, that the EU saves hundreds of millions by just having one...

Given the list announced as to who will get the vaccine first, then the admission list to the Amex will follow suit. The first match will be attended by over 80s, then 70 and above . . . .this spring, .£30,000 by next season. Simples.

I feel that each family's needs should be taken on merit or otherwise, rather than a blanket policy being introduced whereby families, or what passes for families, such as you describe, simply pocket more cash to spend how they please At the very least I would hope that help such as this is...

Yes exactly. Ok if we fail to win it won't be a disaster, but wasting points early on, as we did last season, only increases the anxiety at the end, as we struggle to make up for lost ground and put unnecessary pressure on ourselves.We had a good lockdown in June, but if it were not for the...
