Fact we now owe the odd three trillion here and there is irrelevant . Am i the only person left in the world that still thinks if you borrow money—it has to be paid back in full with interest. Still no such thing as a free meal—-another thing my sainted mother beat into me >

You can put me straight on one thing —- we did WIN the second world didn’t we ?????????
Lots of things happened whilst we weren’t looking —- Do you know that approximately half the Lord Mayors in England are MUSLIMS ——- ?????
While Boris is dodging bullets , playing Pinocchio to Putin —— all his MUSLIM ministers are planning a ‘
’COUPE-DE-GRACE’ in Westminster !!!!!!!!!
As DYLAN so famously sang —-TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING.
...gotcha, thanks... for some reason, i was think'n that at one time or another in the last number of years, that rolls bought or also built bentley's. old age will cross your wires occasionally. but i don't need to tell you that...;)...
Another sleepless night —- cough—cough—cough. Racking cough that leaves me feeling like a Sherman just ran over me . Ribs ache — even cracking a smile is painful, Bad headache — feel like a bag of sh-t . NO, ITS NOT COVID —- THREE NEGATIVE TESTS .
So when all else fails —what to do——— ANTIBIOTICS of course . Not that they’ll cure you , but it does make the doctor feel better .
Fuji your not wrong its one of those fat cat swerve kind of a deal. Vickers sold Rolls Royce Bentley to Volkswagen AG. BMW seperately bought the Rolls Royce Trade mark for Automobiles and set up a new company. As Rolls Royce owned the trade mark VW couldn't sell Rolls Royces so after a bit of wrangling and court cases we wind up with the current situation.Quote:

From all over the world .
I sat down on a clump of grass and sand —- Opposite was Jimbo McConnel. —Tom Posey and Ted May—- Luther and Art Kennedy—— Alan Yaw and Ron Hill . PRUETT should have been there but he was otherwise engaged having just thrown over the twin engined Molinari - he was hospitalised having a replacement hip fitted . I was in the company of KATHY FLO SMITH — gorgeous black haired wife of SMITTY who was tied up with the remains of Billy Dons rig . I did my best . Folk from the mercury ENCLAVE were not supposed to fraternise with the enemy !!!!!!!! Was PRUETT who said,, GARBRECHT dont get to pick my friends . We swopped tales until the fires died down and the mountain of shrimp had dwindled down to a precious few.. was the early hours of the morning before the party broke up. Still friends to this day with all the OMC guys still living. And KATHY FLO SMITH [NEE HENDERSON]
