I think the black gold has something to do with it or we or the yanks would not be there, as was the case in other parts of Africa. That does not make it correct for any leader to kill his own kind.
Yea i know i was the one that put the first bid in on the one with £10 postage but price has gone to high now. Let them have it i say. last year one went for a lot more than that
Well BFPO radio say it was Invincible that went today and not Lusty, I hope this is true :-/ :-/ as Lusty was due to stay in service until 2014 when the new BIG one's come into service. They spent 40m on her last year to keep her upto date. She went to re-fit in Scotland 9 years ago when i left her.
Just thinking back as i am now wide awake with your news. It was 9 years ago on the 25th March 2002 that lusty got back from her role in the Afgan war and the last day i went to sea on a war ship, and six months later I became a civil servant. 31 years working for the MoD and now it is looking more and more as I will be out of a job within 2 years if not sooner if Lusty is anything to go by. They say life goes on :-/
I hope i'm still asleep from my night shift, you say the Illustrious is gone (my last ship in the andrew and she is now on her way to become razor's). 22 years in the navy and 50 years old in the morning and my last ship is gone. Am i now to old
Yep, got both. Have mechanical softener that i fitted myself and the electric wire that raps around the house inlet pipe (that will take about 6 mths normal use to remove lime build up in your system i use a scalewatcher) i fitted that then put the softner in later, all woks fine together as our water is hard, I use a Kinetico water softener works on water pressure to clean its self no filters to buy just salt.
