While we’re on the Reminiss.. Three of us from The Old Country met up to go to Hong Kong. Stepping off the plane at Kai Tak was like a clap in the chops with a warm flannel, and I let the young lad, who’d interned there the year previous, lead the way. He’d arranged a bevvy with his brother in Lan Kwai Fong, and we were shortly sat down. ”Whair you boys fi?” asks the Chinese waiter. “Ah’m fi Dunfermline” I woke up early, back in the apartment, and walked down into town. At the lower part of the hill, the path took me past some shops selling stuff that looked like it was supposed to be eaten, though for the life of me, I can’t imagine why. Then down to the main road, with the big signs in Chinese and the trams clanking by, and it all seemed a bit foreign. I crossed the road, and then my ears pricked up - I followed the sound of The Bagpipes, to Northpoint Logistic Depot, where the HK Ambulance Corp Pipe Band were practising. ”Aye, I think this is going to be OK” I thought to myself

You will need to big it up a bit more than that to persuade me to move to Antarctica. Furthermore, I think that life in Antarctica is made more pleasant by the optimistic confidence that it is not till the end of your days. We are not all Captain Oates.

It’s funny that movement causes friction causes static, not dynamic…

Back in the day, I was getting a flight from Southampton to Liverpool with Vulcan Air (How far wrong can you go with Spock at the controls). I was glad that I ran out to the plane, as I had the choice of two seats left, and I didn’t fancy driving after a couple of beers at the airport. A young man in a white shirt came out, walked once round the plane, kicked the tyres and drove off. I’m sure he was looking at a road atlas as we flew North, and he was forever fiddling with the altimeter. I almost leaned over to say “I think that’s important and you shouldn’t fiddle with it” , when he pointed out the Runcorn Bridge below us, lit up in its majesty. Suddenly he side slipped and wheeled right, and we were down at Speke Airport “Sorry, we had to turn quickly to get in before another plane”. Weighing up the pros and cons, I think that was a better option than the earlier flight to Manchester, but the deciding factor was the couple of pints at Eastleigh Airport

We are lucky he dropped one. Who knows what was in commandments 11 - 15?

Maybe he meant much as in quantity, not cost. “Who knows the expanse of a woman ‘ere they are married?”

You don’t need to suffer the slings and arrows, nor do you need to take up arms against them on a forum with the expanse of the prairies yet the complexity of the tropical jungle. try the Motoring forum

I love posts about what you had for breakfast; they are sadly sparse on Facebook nowadays

That was a bit Tweedledee and Tweedledum. It could have been written sarcastically, but that would make it all the more true. Joseph Heller would have been proud.

Let me suggest more pictures, with suggestive euphemisms in the captions. Everyone likes suggestive posts

Back in the day we lived for the day. And we didn’t have so much to look back upon.

And while we’re about it, would it not be more aerodynamic to have the handlebars behind the seat? Remember, you heard it here first

I take it you're not from Afghanistan, then? Nor a Muslim from Myanmar? etc.

Why would you choose the country you were born in? For a lot of us, that was a long time ago.

Do you mean “save for a pension, just in case you do”?

I’m not going to reopen the Monty Python sketch about disc brakes (yes they are, no they’re not) but it seems like most people agree hydraulic disc brakes are better than cable-pull disc brakes. So where are the hydraulic rim brakes?

In my case, I do. I don't know what you expect of your neighbours.

Stopping publication is different from not publishing. You can repeat your nonsense anyway you want. I don't need to repeat it. When I repeat your slanders, I am guilty of slander.

That is a bit repressive. I expect you will be sending out the hit squads because I won't echo your ranting.

Free speech is not free publication. I am not obliged to repeat your views, and nor is TV or Facebook.

Restaurants are allowed to reopen for double-vaccinated patrons only in KL and Selangor, and some pubs are taking full advantage. The breweries might still be closed, though…

It took starting this topic for you to realise? You're just as oblivious as everyone says. Have you figured out what this topic is intended to distract you from? Do you know where the white van that was parked outside your house has gone? Did you even notice it was there?

Maybe where you are. Here it's two-thirty - time to see the dentist.
