General Discussion Area / Warrington Bombing.

« on: 16 March 2013, 20:01:22 »

It is now 20 years since the Warrington bombing.
I was involved with the troubles in NI between 1976-1977 and what a sh1thole it was at that time.
The people directly involved (allegedly!) with that atrocity are now active with the northern irish/british government.
I know for a fact that the troubles in NI are not quite over and that the media are being gagged.
I am sure that someone from that part of that beautiful country on this forum will either back me up or give us a more detailed and wider perspective on the situation there.

In the meantime I wish the families of Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry closure and that peace continues.

Omega General Help / Disk Brakes Query!

« on: 06 March 2013, 11:53:35 »

Having been in Muslimland and Mallorca since October my Omega has been sitting around unused since then. I am back in Aviemore next Tuesday. I have the battery disconnected using one of these easy disconnect thingys. My question is, what is the best way to clear the disk brakes of rust which inevitably will be coating the disks?. Drive slowly with the brakes on lightly?, or just let them bed in?. I did not think I would be away for so long. Has anybody got any answers on this great forum?.

General Discussion Area / THAT film?

« on: 19 September 2012, 21:22:03 »

When is the west going to wakeup to this nonsense?

Believe me, I see a huge problem here, why should we in the west cowtow to these people? see my earlier posts concerning muslim countries. .
The only country I have not been in is Afghanistan.

The Arabs are not happy.

The conclusion: The Arabs are not happy!!!

. They are not happy in Gaza .
· They are not happy in the West Bank .
· They are not happy in Jerusalem .
· They are not happy in Israel . (There is no equality) great country though!
· They are not happy in Egypt .
· They are not happy in Libya .
· They are not happy in Algeria .
· They are not happy in Tunis .
· They are not happy in Morocco .
· They are not happy in Yemen .
· They are not happy in Iraq .
· They are not happy in Afghanistan .
· They are not happy in Syria .
· They are not happy in Lebanon .
· They are not happy in Sudan .
· They are not happy in Jordan .
· They are not happy in Iran .

Where are the Arabs happy?

They are happy in Britain
They are happy in France.
They are happy in Italy.
They are happy in Germany.
They are happy in Sweden.
They are happy in Holland.
They are happy in Denmark.
They are happy in Belgium.
They are happy in Norway.
They are happy in the U.S.
They are happy in Canada.
They are happy in Romania.
They are happy in Hungary.
They are happy in Australia.
They are happy in New Zealand.

They are happy in any other country in the world that is not under a Muslim rule.

And whom do they blame?

· Not Islam.
· Not their leadership.
· Not themselves.

But the same countries in which they are happy to live.

This is so true... Democracy is really good for them:

In a democracy they can live comfortably, enjoy the high quality of life, which they did not build nor work for, they don’t have to be productive and earn a living,
They can be wild, and break the law, and exploit the social services, wear Burkas and make a mockery of our Police and Courts And generally bite the hand that feeds them.

My question is why do they always try to bring their failed system with them, why do they want to turn our country into the country they left for a better life....?
While our Government is fixated on pandering to them... Why??

WTF?

Omega General Help / Rear nearside shock absorber.

« on: 06 August 2012, 14:24:40 »

Hi! Can anybody tell me where I can get hold of a couple of rear shocks for my 2.6. It has failed the MOT and I also need rear pads as well. An idea of price would also be great. Thanks in advance.

General Discussion Area / Follow Up From "My Niece, We Have done our bit for HMG.

« on: 22 July 2012, 22:20:11 »

My dad also did his bit fighting through France, Belgium and Germany in the second world war where he ended up in hospital for a spell in Brussels. Having got out of hospital he fought through until reaching Germany where he was when the war ended. Bloody heroes all of them.

Me?
Having been in NI through 1976-77, I thought things could not get any worse!
I ended up in Tehran during the revolution in 1979 which was a bit scary to say the least. Lovely country though, pity about the locals. We managed to get out on one of the last flights to Kuwait. One of my colleagues was one of the American hostages taken from the AE.

Next up!, Falklands, if anybody on this forum has read my previous posts, I will not go any further.

Next up! Sudan, 16 mortars came in at 05.30 whilst I was having a kip. Slight hole in in the back of my hand was the result of that. I still have the pieces of mortar lying around here, AND to cap it all when we were on the back of a tank to take us to safety?? I contracted malaria. (Eh! not from the tank!)
This photo below is the next day after the mortar attack.

Next place? who knows.

General Car Chat / My Old Moggie!

« on: 18 July 2012, 11:34:33 »

I bought this Morris Minor in Mallorca in 1994 for £400. I then registered in 1996 in Birmingham.
I had to buy and fit a new soft top, steering wheel, brake cylinder, radiator. All bought from a company in Bristol. She always attracted interest outside whichever saloon I happened to be in.
She was the only MM on the island at that time, but I have seen another green one recently, owned by a Swiss guy.
I eventually sold her to an avid car restorer here in Mallorca for a lot more than I paid for her.

Should have kept it really.

General Discussion Area / The BBC Again!

« on: 17 July 2012, 19:46:39 »

I just happened to watch BBC London news tonight just after the main news. I do not normally watch the BBC but I do watch sometimes here in sunnier climes.

Especially the fiascos connected with the Olympics

From start to finish (15-20mins) it was racism, racism, racism. Aye! not against the black/arab/asian community but against us Oyibos

What is going on in that once wonderful city I lived in for 6 years? AND more to the point, what is going on within the BBC?
My once reliant mole within the BBC has now departed from the left wing socialist company because of the aims and misdirected management.
The BBC should be totally unbiased in all news and reviews. (As should everybody else)
Not any more.

I weep, I really do.

General Car Chat / Corbeau Seats (Equipe)

« on: 11 July 2012, 21:05:57 »

My friend Colin Folwell.
Colin started Corbeau Equipe in I think 1963-64.
I first met Colin when I lived in East Sussex in circa 1975. (when I had the MBG GT)
He had at that time a black 3 litre Capri. which went like stink and he drove it like he had just stolen it, and I used to go with him on many occasions.
As any fans of 'Top Gear' has observed in the last couple of years, Corbeau seat belts and seats have been used in the 'ordinary priced car' circuit featuring the current "celebs" driving it.
Anyway the point of this topic is that Colin has now retired from the business and I hope himself and his wife Nessie have a wonderful retirement.
Happy memories you would not believe.

General Discussion Area / Spanish Women Drivers.

« on: 04 July 2012, 21:30:35 »

Well! Anyway we were sitting outside one of the saloons I frequent here in PP, when this woman drove by in a Peugeot whilst on the phone (this is normal for Spanish women by the way) and she scraped along a parked car opposite where we were sitting. The bumper on the parked car was ripped off and the paintwork was severely scratched and dented but she continued to park the car as normal. She got out of the car all flustered and entered the bar we were in (still on the bloody phone) and asked for a cloth from the owners. The owner asked why she needed the cloth and she retorted "to repair the car". The owner shrugged his shoulders and gave her a wet cloth and she went outside and started to clean the damaged car. By this time we were beginning to start laughing. She tried to stick the bumper back on (while still on the phone) and by this time we were on the floor. Best bit was some wag in the now helpless drinking crowd outside said "you need to go to specsavers luv" You could not make it up.

I have read the Haynes manual and cannot see anything relating to this.
Maybe someone on this great forum can help.

Cheers! off for a cold Estrella now!
