Duke attempts the Impossible

[duke3016]

I remember when Coca-Cola was real. For many years, the company were content to sit back and make the same old carbonated drink. It was a good drink, no question about it; generations of people had grown up drinking it and doing the experiment where you put a dirty penny into a glass of Coke and in the morning it was shiny. And your parents would say "Imagine what it does to your teeth"

Then they changed it and the penny no longer gets clean (oh maybe a little bit after a week).

Progress my arse......

It's the coldest since 1963. Well boo hoo. So what's the result. The biggest result is schools shut. According to the BBC website approximately 9,000 schools were shut in England, 950 in Wales and 250 in Scotland. So what was different in 1963. Well, and yes I do recall this, the snow/cold started in December 1962 and continued unabated until March 1963.

So all schools were shut then, NO only very few schools were shut, why was that then. We fecking walked to school that's why. We had frozen toilets, frozen milk (it was free in those days) and freezing classrooms.

We had great fun in the playground with no health and safety jobsworth's stopping us. I remember the caretaker even preparing a slide by throwing water down so it froze in a long runway of sliding fun.

We had open fires in the home and went to bed in our overcoats and a hot water bottle (A what ?).

It was so cold that the sea even froze. In 1963 there were snowfalls registered in feet FFS.

Cold.... Feck off it's a slight chill. Get on with it.

Progress My Arse.......

I remember our school janitor coming out into the playground and spreading grit on our slide. I"m sure he had a smug grin at the same time.

Maybe I was in the generation in between "the good old days" and the "nanny state" - so what was that called?

[Mikeyboy9361]

Slides were great, we used to make "em so they were like glass. Remember all the different sliding styles "the Little Lady" was my favourite. Wouldn"t be allowed now, the fun police would require a risk assessment and protective head gear FFS!

On Sky just watched a helicopter airlift a person out of a village in Dartmoor. The air ambulance landed in a "whiteout" as the snow swirled and he effectively landed blind. Take off looked as hairy.....


Hats off to the pilot - respect......

I have just installed a piece of electrical equipment and have come to the conclusion that the package should have this warning in bold print on the outside.

Congratulations!  
You have purchased an extremely fine device that would give you  years of trouble-free service, except that you undoubtedly will destroy it via some typical bonehead customer manoeuvre.  Which is why we ask you to:

PLEASE FOR GOD"S SAKE READ THIS OWNER"S MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU UNPACK THE DEVICE.  YOU ALREADY UNPACKED IT, DIDN"T YOU?  YOU UNPACKED IT AND PLUGGED IT IN AND TURNED IT ON AND FIDDLED WITH THE BUTTONS, AND NOW YOUR CHILD, THE SAME CHILD WHO ONCE SHOVED A SAUSAGE INTO YOUR DVD RECORDER AND SET IT ON FAST FORWARD, IS NOW ALSO FIDDLING WITH THE BUTTONS RIGHT?  AND YOU"RE JUST NOW STARTING TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, RIGHT?  WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST BREAK THESE DEVICES AT THE FACTORY BEFORE WE SHIP THEM OUT, YOU KNOW THAT?   

Priceless...................
