At least Andrew is getting some peace since Harry and family returned.:wink:

I've got my dad's medals.  Not so much collected, though.  More 'handed down'.

Beautiful, looks a bit like Piper the black horse I used to ride back in the 80s.

Quote from: Alex on September 09, 2026, 05:03:58 PMDoes anyone pay £5.99 a month for ITV x without the adverts ?  I paid up mainly to watch Nashville and Corrie catch up.  This morning I decided to cancel and switch to Channel 5, I went on to ITV to cancel and they dropped the price to £2.99 a month, so being the sucker that I am, I carried on subscribing.
No.  There is little to watch on ITV now in our opinions.  We watch the old Coronation Street every day it is on, but I'm damned if I will pay to avoid the adverts, especially as they are only on for 2 or 3 minutes each time, at least in this programme.

I don't subscribe to anything anymore, I used to subscribe a days pay to the Regimental Charity which was a requirement on joining the regiment, RNLI ( oooh contentious there Vlad) up to about 2020. Medecins Sans Frontieres because I saw them in action once . Nice people.
I do dislike the chuggers in shopping centres etc, very aggressive young people asking for your bank details to support the charity that employs them

Yes, this invasion across the Channel is not  a safety of life at sea issue; the invaders have chosen to make the crossing simply because they can see the financial and other advantages in presenting themselves in this country, especially as we in our 'wisdom' offer I believe far more than any other country.
Consequently, the RNLI are not 'saving' people in danger on the sea; they are assisting them to enter our country illegally.  Consequently, they are not abiding by their own rules.
Of course, there is also the Border Farce, which is also not abiding by its rules: presumably 'a force to protect our borders'.
I am glad to see that at least some of our ports are now denying the entry of illegals into our country.  Hopefully, when we can get rid of this Labour government, we may begin to see the real people of this country beginning to unite with a true government in the restoration of the civilised country we were once proud of and hopefully a more civilised place.

Listerine is also good for mozzies, but it must be the turquoise bottle. :grin:

I've got the first 20 editions of The Beatles Book.  Unfortunately I used to tear out the middle page photo to pin on my wall, so the books aren't all complete !
