You Sir must see a doctor immediately. If the site of a Spitfire in full flight does not make your insides do funny things then you are not well.

If people didn't go on about them as if they single handed won the war then yes, I might just like them, but, I am afraid, there is WAY to much froth surrounding them for my liking (in fact you probably need a full drainage system surrounding one of the ruddy planes for all the dribble ).

Without that plane, (and the Hurricane) do not forget, you would now be conversing in German!

'Without *that* plane, we'd all be speaking German!'

The Hurricane did MOST of the work, took most of the loses, was easier and cheaper to produce and fix, could easily out turn both a Spitfire and a Mescherschmitt in flight and could start in much colder temperatures, therefore having the upper hand in just about every department, and yet, what do you always hear about?

Even during the war, there was a Spitfire Fund, but when they tried to do the same for the Hurricane, nobody gave a toss. I know the Spitfire was more advanced etc etc, but it is the everyday workmanlike Hurricane I respect, NOT the Spitfire.

The Spitfire was an expensive 'glamour plane'. The Hurricane just got on with it and did exactly what it said on the tin.

Lancaster

Nice, but yet again, give me a Wellington ANY day!
More Wimpy's produced than any other bomber right from 1939 - 45 don't you know.

How many are preserved out of those many, many thousands built?

2, a miserable stinking 2, and one of those is a wreck!

but it gets damp as soon as you put it in your mouth anyway!

But at least it isn't normally damp before you eat it. Sorry, I don't want to eat something resembling a wet carpet!

best bet is to smear the toast with Marmite before adding the beans

...... PERVERT!!

Had appendix out

When I had my large Intestine removed last year, they took the Appendix out at the same time. I know this because I saw it in the picture I asked them to take of what they removed!

The reason for removing it? I never found out. I guess because it was easier just to take it still attached with the rest

I've never been to Manchester, Stoke, Crewe, and I've only been through Leeds on a train.

The only good reason to go to Crewe is to see the trains. I have still to find something else going for the town.

Incidentally, I have never been to Blackpool (seriously).

Nor have I (also seriously)

Far too many 'normal' things to mention....

 

[007fair]

I kissed a girl and I liked it...

Was it the taste of her cherry chapstick?



Never bought anything using a credit card
(Have bought a house and car on credit .. but only owned a credit card if I got something free to get it . Never used one in anger)

 

[ianrauk]

I've never bought a record by the Beatles.
And never will either.

 

[RedRider]

Never been to IKEA, not even when high on drugs.

I had a Credit Card once as a student but never actually used it. TBH it was more trouble than it was worth, so I was glad just to get rid of the ruddy thing!

These days, any advert I get for one goes straight in the bin, I'm not interested, end of.

I've never bought a record by the Beatles.
And never will either.

I had a close call a few years back when I tried to buy something on iTunes. Luckily they didn't have the Beatles on iTunes at the time, and I have since come to my senses

Never been to IKEA, not even when high on drugs.

Quite a while ago now, I had to go with a group of special needs kids as part of getting used to being in social situations (the kids, not me).

I seem to remember spending half the time making sure we hadn't left people behind, and the rest of time explaining what things were
