USS New York

It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center ….

It is the fifth in a new class of warship – designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft..

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite , LA to cast the ship’s bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, ‘those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,’ recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. ‘It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.’

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the ‘hair on my neck stood up.’ ‘It had a big meaning to it for all of us,’ he said. ‘They knocked us down. They can’t keep us down. We’re going to be back.’
The ship’s motto? ‘Never Forget’

Please keep this going so everyone can see her!

—– I’ve just been banned from a Muslim clothes shop.
I only asked for a bomber jacket.
Touchy bastards.

I got sacked last night from the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen.
All I said was, “will you bastards hurry up, some of us have a home to go
to”.

I felt sorry for the hypnotist I saw last night. He hypnotized 7 blokes then
dropped the mike on his foot & said “F… me”.

What happened next will haunt me forever..

I would like one of these. I think Mrs FEEG would need a bigger version of it though, more of a 4×4 🙂

Please allow us to spare a thought for the poor, much-maligned King George III. He wasn’t such a terrible chap, having been one of the few to be faithful to his wide and respectful of parliament. Pity that a number of disgruntled colonists chose to throw a tantrum. Had they not, the United States may have turned out more like Canada or Australia, having also not put itself through a civil war which took the lives of 1/10th of its population — mostly civilian.

You’ve just arrived after a long journey, tired and looking for somewhere to stay.  You feel like treating yourself, so you ask your driver to take you to the best hotel that the town has to offer.  And he does; he could have picked none better.  Plush and polished, this five star establishment has over two hundred well-appointed rooms, a royal suite, a steam room, a swimming pool with a view of the sea and four restaurants.

So where do you think you have ended up; in one of the more luxurious Mediterranean resorts, perhaps?  Go out on the balcony and have a look around.  See, there, just to the south of where you are standing, the Hamas training camp should give you a clue.  Hamas; what, the terrorist group dedicated to the destruction of Israel?  Yes, Hamas; for this is Gaza and the hotel is the al-Mashtal, recently refurbished at a cost of $40 million.  Continue reading “Flotilla of Fools”

24 hours in a day.

24 beers in a crate.

It can’t just be coincidence. 😀

 

The occasional alerts are intended to bring the help pages to your attention – and we do not appreciate rude comments in response.

While correcting one mistake may take only a few minutes – amending ten errors takes ten times as long. Sometimes we spend over half an hour putting things ‘right’ – and it gets tedious correcting things when we have already spent a great deal of time writing help pages.

We would ask everyone to remember that this site comes free – and it is meant to be fun for us too.

As usual the children have turned up at our local school, delivered by mums and dads.  There seems to be no strike action there – but I won’t mention where in case we get a bunch of pickets infesting the neighbourhood.  It will be interesting to see a map showing the areas most and least affected in Britain.  I would have volunteered to man a Border Agency post at a nearby airport, though my method of letting everyone leave the UK and saying No to anyone I didn’t like the look of trying to enter might not have been acceptable.  It would probably have kept that border secure though.
