i am all for testing but they (the pill popper) should pay for the service , and not take recourses away from cancer research, or any research into medical matters, see how they would run, drugs are a blight we are soft on the sellers and pushers mandatory 20 years for pushers and sellers of the drugs not the soft cock approach of our system, if you use drugs you must take the consequences and bear the costs

I did my apprenticeship in wolverhamton in the 60s, I remember shitty little houses with the toilet ouside, freezing in winter , had a car(morris minor) shitty little car always working to keep it going, and never having enough money after rent ,food costs etc started to work away at 20 and got a few extra quid, so glad I migrated to Oz(and no not a 10 pound pom)Australia in the 70s , so much work so little time to get it all done,Australia has been good to me,have been back several times to ol blighty and its still a shitty place unless you money and lots of it, several people that I was at school with have not worked in years the last time I was there, going back in 2019 in June for the last time (4 days) and then to Ireland and France, Brexit only will be good for the pollies who have their snouts in the trough AGAIN or is that still.

Love it, I remember The Dubliners singing this, I like this version better , I hope to see some Irish singers in Ireland next June thanks Phil

yeah, better than the Shitten labour group of tossrs

No, what I said is they the ones that were tried and convicted, as should all people who commit these crimes, and if a particular group(catholic,muslim,Baptists etc) should be vilified and if not born in their adopted country send them back strip them of their residency/citizenship we should not be afraid to voice opinions about this it seems the muslim religion is very touchy about what you say and criticise HUH? last time I looked islam is not a race. They need to look at themselves first(the religious zealots), they are far more racist than I

So being muslim and Pakistani you cannot call them out and vilify ,if they were white catholics we would , this political correctness has to stop, they were convicted for their heinous crimes and they were all Pakistani muslims, tell it like it is,they should be vilified we don't want their cultural preferences in our western society, maybe you guys need to take the rose coloured glasses off.

We will have to forgive Marty ,he lives in Tasmania , they tend to be sheltered there , Tasmanians have a slightly different view of the world than us mainlanders, , he does come across as left green politics, no amount of real world dangers will change his/their minds, fact. the Pakistani/Muslim horrific rape,vilification,murder of WHITE young girls in UK is very real all done to extreme by Muslim men .Ivory tower, no, leftist propaganda at its worst ,get the facts ,they are not hard to find ,all in the public domain.

Cut the lead at the box end did it once with my 14 year old son ,never ever over did play station again

and then they ring both of our mobiles , Larry,peter ,colin all with sing song Indian accents LOL

The writing was on the wall for GB in the sixties ,that's one of the reasons our family left UK, too much immigration from third world countries and GB is still doing it ,we are not one world/country, don't the bleeding heart liberal/greeny people see this ,the world will always be tribal,to a lesser extent in western society, if these other countries want that STAY there and get on with it

we should be free to ridicule ANY religion but not the person, most religions are childish and have all at one time been barbaric, someone yet has to prove their is a god, no one has or will.

fortunately the good and pious Muslim is not out for your head,if they dared to question the religion they would be subject to some of that barbarism, and the ones who are most vocal should be the ones we send back to their respective Sxxtholes of a country

Do what she proposed to do outside a catholic,jewish,buddhist hindu and you wont see the police there ,again a minority group who are known to be violent gets what they want, Saudi arabia would not let any kind of demonstration

I am getting 54c k/w and have not paid bill in 4 years, the refund cheques are paying for our o/s trip next year approx. to date 3800 so by this time next year would be about 5400 and we are locked in till 2025

28,29 degrees that's our winter LOL no such thing as fat its portly(as I am) and those whirly gig things are dangerous in the hands of pilots who fly proper aircraft LOL

Hey Phil,love the socks and sparticus sandals LOL

Hey Phil ,more please they are great stories thanks mate Cheers gareth

No worries here , love the old pics ,they were so young ,they(all the servicemen and women ) are the real heroes,not the pretend types put up as heroes please sharev the stories .One day I will share my fathers WW11 stories ,he was a hero to me,17 years old when he was in the army 1941 cheers gareth

You can choose your friends but not your siblings/family, I had a good relationship with my sisters,now they cannot see what they have done wrong and are blaming everyone but themselves, meanwhile have put a hold on mothers bank a/c still some funds there ,they tried to use my mothers atm card but forgot the password/no that's how we came to know about the fraud,so due process by the police meanwhile the order has gone in to council for the seat ,will post pic when it is installed about 3 months they say, and Willedoo stand tall YOU did the right thing by your dad that's what matters,dont let the bxxstards get you down as they who have done the wrong thing will not have the memories you have Cheers and thanks again. Gareth

Thanks everyone again, she was the glue that held the family together ,sadly that has now changed ,we have just found out that 2 of my sisters have used up most of her money that she had,amongst other things ,so 4 of us have to go through more stress when the police get involved, how does a woman in dementia get a $5000 credit card while she is in care ? and where has the money gone, the bank has a lot to answer for ,I don't hold much hope of recovering the monies ,not that we wanted it ,but it goes to show that some people cannot be trusted,we had enough to pay her funeral expenses that was in a safe that they couldn't open,( but I am good with a grinder) and we got all her jewellery which we have gifted to my mothers great grandkids(girls) we have also had a seat with a plaque for her by the council installed in Elliot Heads.She will always be there in spirit and we all thank her for our life. Thanks again guys gareth

Lovely voice,song is qite nice havent heard the rest of the album,it does sway to country music which is not my choice of music, good luck Elizabeth,Thomo must have tripped you up to get you LOL,i remember him well from his forum comments its good to see nice young people get on with thier lives. Cheers gareth

HI Jerry, if you do make it back remember that Australia has changed, if you have some funds set aside for retirement keep it in cash, I took most off mine out of super in cash that way the Ato wont get their grubby hands on it, also if you sell your house in UK when it comes to buy in Aus Victoria and NSW will eat most of it up to buy a house close to a large city, to be mortgage/rent free works for me but if you end up on the stupidly low pension that us oldies get(I get a part pension of $220 per month) pension life is not good for some, and when you are older the chances of work is zero, life can still be good, I am about to start building another aircraft, there are quite a few cheap aircraft experimental VH and Ra experimental for sale but I would rather build because after owning 4 aircraft i know what i want, it will keep you young at heart, anyway good luck and if your in Brissie on your holiday maybe could catch up Cheers Gareth

While in Sydney in the new year I drove out to Camden,Rossmore,Bringelly,Narellan and was amazed how it is so built up, I used to ride horses out from Rossmore in the seventies, wow has it changed , my old friend att Rossmore is still hanging on to his 5 acres but is constantly being harassed to sell last offer was 1.8 million per acre I had a property in Catherine Fields , the area is nothing like what I remembered, new houses everywhere and they are huge ,last time I was there was 14 years ago, it is becoming totally urbanised and with that comes all the problems ,no transport ,crime, my old friend has been broken into 5 times in thye last 2 years ,he is 82 and infirm, they keep taking easily sold electronics stuff ,all his saddles,, progress yeah right

I had the same AJS500 in 1966 but had to sell when my first born came along,by the way love the hair, mine was the same about 1972ish LOL cheers Gareth

Thanks guys for your comments,my mother passed at 8.15 this evening RIP
