Dear Sir, In view of what seems to be happening internationally with Banks at the moment, I was wondering if you could advise me… If one of my cheques is returned marked "Insufficient Funds," how do I know whether that refers to me or to you?

You Couldn't Make It Up - British Rocketry
Saint in Paradise replied to St Landrew's topic in The Lounge
Since the 1940s Britain has had several excellent projects cancelled because of political ineptitude and gross interference from our "friends" in the USA.( TSR 2 for just one ) Thank goodness they were "friendly" as enemies couldn't have done more damage. The US even interfered with the Canadian company AVRO who had developed a fighter aircraft far superior to anything the US had at the time. The other day someone mentioned the "Lease Lend" deal which Britain finished paying for in 2000 I don't recall the US insisting that the rest of Europe paid back money etc supplied under the Marshall Plan and yet Britain was the only real buffer between Germany and the US for quite a while. I better end now in case the people in the US get annoyed with me -
Wimps better not visit here then New Zealand is due for a major earthquake or eruption during the next 50 years, new Civil Defence Minister John Carter was told by his department. In a briefing paper for the minister, released today, the department said the most serious natural event in the past 20 years was the 2004 Lower North Island flooding. "However, New Zealand has not recently experienced a low probability but high consequence event that would lead to significant loss of life and property." Modelling put probabilities on the chances of various events: a 15 percent chance of a major earthquake affecting Wellington over the next 50 years; a 20 percent chance of a major earthquake on the South Island Alpine Fault in the next 20 years; a 30 to 50 percent chance of an ash-producing eruption from Taranaki in the next 50 years; an estimated 4 percent chance of a volcanic eruption in Auckland in the next 50 years. There was also an estimated additional 3 percent chance Auckland may be affected by ash fall from a major eruption in the central North Island. The paper said volcanic eruption was the most under-estimated threat. A major exercise was held earlier in the year to plan how the country would face a volcanic eruption in Auckland. Such an event could wipe 14 percent off New Zealand's GDP. A major earthquake in Wellington was estimated to kill between 200 and 600 people with as many as 4000 casualties. The estimate for residential property claims was $6.2 billion. Deaths from a one in 500-year tsunami would be of a similar scale to other major events. Floods were the most frequent and costly natural hazard.

A good idea in trying to get the pro / anti members of Mr Lowe, Wilde, Askam etc on here to reduce the fighting about a situation that we ordinary folks can't change. However I think that you would have more chance training a three legged elephant to balance on a greased cricket ball than getting your idea used.

Copy of an e-mail I received today I just want to re-emphasise that you should never show your driving licence to Police by the side of the road. We had an email from a member who in the heat of the moment had forgotten this advice. He showed the Police, who had stopped him on suspicion of driving while using a mobile phone (he says that he wasn’t) his licence, believing that he had no reason not to... It was nearly a BIG mistake! The Police Officer pointed out that the address on the members licence and the address that his car was registered to were different. “Oh, that’s my old address and my car is registered to my new address, which all ties in with the insurance”. The Police told our man to wait by his car (not in his car in the warm, you’ll notice ;-) and came back. The message was shocking: “Why should we not summons you to court and fine you £1000?” Our man was shocked; “I just moved two weeks ago and I will let the DVLA know as soon as possible. I just hadn’t thought to do it!”. It was nearly a BIG mistake! Luckily they “let him off” but said that if he had been pulled over by Traffic Police, then they definitely would have taken the easy prey and he would have been given a £1000 fine for having his old address on his driving licence. The good news is that if you find yourself in this situation, by not showing the Traffic Police your licence by the side of the road (because you haven’t got it on you), you are putting the odds heavily in your favour of not getting the fine. You’ll just get a “producer” and usually the clerk at the Police station will not even check your licence address. And even if they do, they are very unlikely to want to mess you about with details.

This will take your minds off Saints for a while http://www.scribd.com/doc/6476329/Jonathan-Gray-Dead-Mens-Secrets .

People wanted Mr Lowe out because he was well past his sell by date, the new people didn't get anywhere near as long to rectify Mr Lowes stuff ups and now he has returned the situation just gets worse, he just cannot hack it and is killing Saints.

Mr Crouch at least quickly realised his mistake and rectified it by appointing NP. Mr Lowe on the other hand totally appears to think that he never ever makes mistakes. The first step in recovery from any addiction is to admit that there is a problem. Something that his supporters who blindly follow him might like to rectify but are probably to blind to see.

A very dangerous thing to say in the muppet show :D:D

Good idea but perhaps a bit to radical for consideration for the next 7 years or so but after that well it might happen I think.

Speaking of Christmas here is a recipe for bisquits Ingredients: 1 cup plain flour ¼ cup cocoa 110g soft butter ¼ cup caster sugar Method: Preheat oven to 170°C. Sift flour and cocoa into a mixing bowl and use your fingers to rub in the soft butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and bring the whole mixture together, using your hands, to form a stiff dough; it should just come together into a ball. Place half the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and, using a rolling pin, roll out to a thickness of about 5mm. Remove top sheet of baking paper and cut dough into Christmas shapes such as stars, angels and trees. If you want to hang the biscuits on your Christmas tree, use a skewer or the pointy end of a small icing nozzle to make a small hole just below the top of the biscuit for the ribbon. (Make sure it is big enough to thread the ribbon through.) Carefully place the biscuit shapes on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Repeat this process with the second half of the dough. Any leftover dough can be re-rolled and cut into more shapes. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits move on the baking tray when the tray is gently shifted from side to side. Remove the tray from the oven, leave the biscuits on the tray for 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. When cold, ice the biscuits with white icing. Decorate with silver cachous and thread with ribbon if they’re being used for decorations. If not using to decorate the Christmas tree, store in a sealed plastic container or tin. Cook’s tips These biscuits can be made without cocoa: just substitute plain flour for the cocoa. For icing, mix 75g sifted icing sugar with 1-2 Tbsp boiling water. Instead of icing, you could decorate the biscuits with silver cachous before baking. From Taste magazine, December 2007.

The most dangerous cake recipe 5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 egg 3 tablespoons milk 3 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional) a small splash of vanilla extract 1 large coffee mug Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous). And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world ?? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night.
