Obviously the Americans don't care a damn about what UK personnel they kill - it is simply a case of giving them a weapon and allowing them to build up their personal score of kills.

Any friendly fire incident is to be deplored, but let's not forget that the British record isn't too hot. # A British Army Gazelle was shot down by a Royal Navy missile during the Falklands War, with the loss of three men, including two of my own Corps, one of whom was Major Mike Forge. # In the Ma...

And, last but not least, fancy a whole module on:- http://www.tttrain.co.uk/courses/coursedetails.asp?COURSE_ID=70-1 This course is intended for : Intended for Graduate engineers and construction professionals who require an introduction to concrete, its uses, applications and control in the boot c...

But the man had three wishes; I'm glad you missed out the cat who always had 'arf'

It really is all a matter of policy. The Americans refuse to assist our coroners, or at their very best are evasive and somewhat economical with the truth. I'm afraid it is a fact of life, ( or death ), that 'accidents' in war will occur. The problem with the Yanks is, that they seem to have a gung...

They've gone and done it AGAIN!!! Sheer incompetence. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6962071.stm Yes - it's happened again and I can absolutely guarantee that it will happen again (and again) for as long as we indulge in warfare. I have made the point previously but I'll say it again: the reason why...

A large company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He walked up...

cj, I do believe you're a genius! JR, yes, removing a few worked a treat, but "setting" them so that they were barely touching the frame and all fell out with a huge clatter was much more satisfying! better was leaving enough to make the bed look OK but so few that when the person put the...

I actually knew a woman, ( deceased now ), who changed her name by deed pole and put the word 'Lady' as her first Christian name. It worked wonders when making hotel/theatre/restaurants bookings etc, and when presenting cheques/credit cards for payment. I have the original of the report in England ...

I think you have misunderstood the Hertford postings. CH has in the past been very Horsham-centric and I think that is what the Old Girls were commenting on. I suggest that that is a question of statistics (which in this extraordinary case are not "lies, d**n lies"). There were +/- 850 bo...

We didn't get anything except pass or fail so I have no idea if it was just or a mile from the pass mark.

I see in yesterday Mail that Learco Chindamo's father is in prison awaiting trial for murdering his 'girlfriend'. He is also allegedly highly connected to the Mafia. I think this speaks volumes about the family in general. Another good reason for the re-intoduction of the ultimate penalty for murde...

Have had an excellent start to the day - Kate`s got her GCSE results - 2 As and 9 A*!

I`m just hoping someone else is going to do the mountain of ironing today!

Surely Kate needs practice for her 12th GCSE in ironing?

Enjoy, Janet

Did we at CH receive our GCSE and A Level results the same day as day schools? I distinctly remeber getting mine on a Thursday by post and am pretty sure it was the day it was splashed over the news channels. So were/are the results sent to boarding schools earlier so they can be posted out or are ...
