Painless

Just watched it, and WOW ! Great comment from Green at the end regarding G resilience, "short guys tend to do better " LOL

Bloody good wheelsmith that Harris fellow ! A bit short though ; ) "Spare cash" what does that look like ? Lol

Just got back. Wow! Thanks Swoop, trouble is that it was 100% cloud cover with heavy rain and strong winds all week. Cloud base was down to the deck most of the time. All Aurora trips cancelled, whale watching trips cancelled. Blue lagoon was fantastic because we had horizontal rain all day. As far as the food is concerned.... Expensive, very expensive! First night ...fish and chips, burger and chips, one Bacardi and half a lager.....£80.00 (hotel). 1xTomato soup and bread....£15.00 (cafe) 1xSubway sandwich 6 inch £9.00 . One BLT sandwich, one slice of carrot cake, one fizzy drink and a yoghurt £22.00 (cafe) Siobhan and I would love to go back in the summer and hire a 4x4 to drive around the Island for two weeks........ Just as soon as we win the bloody lottery : )

Great great memories Gec. One of the all time fun weekends in my life as well m8. Does Villa still carry the AK in his rucksack ?

I admire your free spirit attitude to life and adventure enormously Rox . As you report now and have reported before, ordinary people are decent enough but the " leaders" are not so it seems..........no matter where you go east or west.

Many thanks Rog : )

Happy birthday Nick young bean. Hope you have a day filled with laughter and cake : ) Mick.

Excellent !

Honesty can be funny ! Excellent Gec ; )

Not nice unless you are a hungry bird.

That man has talented feet BB !

Nice find FT, what would we do without you ; ) I see they used IL2 ntrk footage for the Beautyfighters ! What an amazing 94 year old, still has that killer glint in his eyes.

I'm sure if I were Romanian or indeed Polish I would see things a little differently Ovy. Some really crappy political compromises were made at the end of WWII in Europe, supposedly with the larger strategic/political long term future issues in mind. I am not at all comfortable with some of them but I, (along with probably all of the other Dogz) have lived as the "golden generation" with no global wars or shortages affecting our day to day lives, relative prosperity and good health. So what do we know ?

Thanks Ovy, it is hard to imagine that much change in such a short time. I know Mrs Ovy was saying that even now you have problems with people from Serbia, Bulgaria, Ukrain, Moldova and Hungary coming over the border, causing trouble then buggering off again. I hope that you, Maddy and all the hard working decent folks in Romania get some stability and security in the very near future.
