Basicly the Government of the day sent troops to Northern Ireland at the request of the legal government that was in power in Northern Ireland of the day.
The Police were unable to control the terrorist element, so extra troops were sent in.........no need apologise for that.......since when does a Government apologise for fighting the crinimal elements? Do you apologise to murders or robbers? No of course you don't..............enough said
A man from Texas, driving a Volkswagen Beetle, pulls up next to a guy in a Rolls Royce at a stop sign. Their windows are open and he yells at the guy in the Rolls, "Hey, you got a telephone in that Rolls?"
The guy in the Rolls says, "Yes, of course I do.."
"I got one too... see?" the Texan says.
"Uh, huh, yes, that's very nice." "You got a fax machine?" asks the Texan. "Why, actually, yes, I do." "I do too! See? Its right here!" brags the Texan.
The light is just about to turn green and the guy in the Volkswagen says, "So, do you have a double bed in back there?" The guy in the Rolls replies, "NO! Do you?" "Yep, got my double bed right in back here," the Texan replies.
The light turns and the man in the Volkswagen takes off. Well, the guy in the Rolls is not about to be one-upped, so he immediately goes to a customizing shop and orders them to put a double bed in back of his car. About two weeks later, the job is finally done. He picks up his car and drives all over town looking for the Volkswagen beetle with the Texas plates. Finally, he finds it parked alongside the road, so he pulls his Rolls up next to it.
The windows on the Volkswagen are all fogged up and he feels somewhat awkward about it, but he gets out of his newly modified Rolls and taps on the foggy window of the Volkswagen. The man in the Volkswagen finally opens the window a crack and peeks out.
The guy with the Rolls says, "Hey, remember me?" "Yeah, yeah, I remember you," replies the Texan, "What's up?" "Check this out...I got a double bed installed in my Rolls." The Texan exclaims, "YOU GOT ME OUT OF THE SHOWER TO TELL ME THAT?"
Those that are closest to you will hurt you the most..............that's a fact of life......move on Elley, or grow up.......all your threads are so similiar
If you hold a full UK licence, you can drive on it anywhere, should you be staying in Spain for any length of time you may need to take a local test, usually just a paper exercise. Other than that you can apply for an International licence, which is valid everywhere
.........The ritish do have national prid as do most other countries...........Pride in putting others down? so many Brits (myself included) live overseas, and it would be stupidity to put the locals down...........most of us try to mingle with the natives of whatever country we ádopt'......you saw for yourself here, how we 'brits'treated and got treated by the locals................respect all round.........can't speak for everyone obviously
This just goes to show how money is wasted within the European Union. A case of what no one wants to know..................great new pix by the way Natasha
On the farm lived a chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together.
One day the two were playing, when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink.
Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help!
Off the chicken ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor.
Running around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Harley.
Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with a length of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend's life.
Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him.
After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's bike, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse!
Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.
The friendship between the two animals was cemented: Best Buddies, Best Pals.
A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life!
The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle. Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his hangy-down thing and he would then lift him out of the pit.
The chicken got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.
The moral of the story? --- 'When you're hung like a horse, you don't need a Harley to pick up chicks.'
If you are in a relationship what are you doing seeking someone else anyway? Good or bad, good manners dictate that you end the old one first then look round, not vice versa..................you make it sound like changing cars
