What is the big deal about being a kiss of death on a thread anyway ?

Some threads are set up to ask a question, and when that question is answered, the thread expires.

The one about who knighted Chruchill is a case in point.

There must be some threads in the archives where I am the last poster.

SO WHAT !!!!!

Meanwhile we have had a crew change, and the new guys have taken off for the evening in McDonnell Douglas CF-188 Hornets

http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/meltingpot/cadbury/57/images/cottesmore_2000/d036_004.jpg

I hear that there is a possibility of a transfer to a base with the rank of Air Marshall :shocked:

Somehow I don't think so :bawling:

[splodge0]

Are these adaptable for my carrier, sticks. :colour:

What is the big deal about being a kiss of death on a thread anyway ?
No big deal at all.

However, this thread is different.

It's a giggle. :spin2:

It's a laugh. :laugh:

It's a harmless bit of fun. :colour:

It doesn't have a a question to answer, or a piece of vital information to impart. it is totally and utterly meaningless, pointless and directionless.

And I love it! :love: :love: :love:

If you don't like it, Sticks - you don't have to join in. It's not compulsory. You can resign at any time. :laugh:

Carry on, night shift. :xyxwave:

with busybee and all her hive Boris is sure to be safe

Or how about

http://www.bats.org.uk/images/fob002a.jpg

A Horseshoe bat

From the home page of The Bat Conservation Trust (http://www.bats.org.uk)

This is the info on the above bat (http://www.bats.org.uk/batinfo/gr_horse.htm)

Bats are nothing to be scarred of.

Busybee has watched too many horror movies. Bats are an unfairly persecuted annimal with an unwarrented bad press.

And I believe I have mentioned this before :nono:

[Boris]

What Busy People you all are.....


BUT


I'm going back out on MANEOUVERS,
I won't be round here much,
But, the Captains All Ready,

Boris, I think you nearly caught everyone out by posting this early in the morning.

But never fear, cos I am here to save you from being last.

And hope your journey is better when you set out next time. Can't we send out a few tanks to flatten the traffic??????

[Boris]

Very kind of you, Kaphc - but I'm allowed to be last!

That's exactly what my mission is - to save Boris from being the last to post by doing the honour myself . . . . . . . . . eventually.

:laugh:

[kaphc]

I know :hugesmile: but I think there are two missions going on here.

One to stop Boris being last, and one to stop you being last.

[Romantic Old Bird]

OK thought for the evening for the more mature amongst us:

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D.
- Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:

I need to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice that
there is some post on the hall table. I decide to go through the letters
before washing the car. I put my car keys down on the table, put the
junk mail in the bin under the table, and notice that the bin
is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table to take out the rubbish first. But then I say to myself, since I'm going to be near the
postbox when I take out the rubbish anyway, I might as well pay my bills first. I take my cheque book off the table, and see that there
is only one cheque left. My new cheque book is in my desk in the study,
so I go to my desk where I find a bottle of coke that I had been
drinking.

I'm about to look for my cheques, but first I need to push the coke
aside so that I wouldn't accidentally knock it over. I notice that the
coke is getting warm, so I decide that I should put it in the
refrigerator to keep it cold. I head towards the kitchen with the
coke. A vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye - they needed to
be watered.

As I put the coke down on the worktop, I notice my reading glasses
which I've been searching for all morning. I decide I had better take
them back to my desk, but first I must water the flowers. I put the
glasses back down on the worktop, fill a container with water when
suddenly I spot the TV remote control. Someone had left it on the kitchen
table. I realise that tonight, when we go to watch TV, we will be
looking for the remote, but nobody will remember that it's on the
kitchen table, so I decide to take it back to the living room where it
belongs, but first I must water the flowers. I splash some water on
the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor. So, I put the remote
back down on the table, to get some towels to wipe up the spill.

Then I head down the hall trying to remember why I'm going that way
and what I was planning to do.

Now, it's the end of the day; the car isn't washed, the bills aren't
paid, there is a warm bottle of coke sitting on the counter, the
flowers aren't watered, there is still only one cheque in my cheque
book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't
remember what I did with the car keys.

I try to work out why nothing got done today. I'm really baffled
because I know I was busy all day long and now I'm really tired. I
realise this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for
it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

the first one reads: 'Do me a favour, will you? Forward
this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to whom it
has been sent.'

PS Subject: Thought for the Week...but different

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on
Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2020, there should be a large
elderly population with perky boobs and carnal urges and absolutely
no recollection of what to do about it.

Oh, I think I have, Boris.

After all, I did give poor Splodge a really hard time earlier in this thread - taking away his treasured 'signature' - so I think he deserves a little treat on his birthday. :thumbs:

Hope you've had a good one, Admiral. :love:

But I'll expect you back bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow! :colour:

The Admiralty offered me a years secondment to Hawaii, but I turned them down so that I would be available for this most vital task.:shocked:

THE REVENGE
A Ballad of the Fleet
Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809 - 1892)

I
At Flores in the Azores Sir Richard Grenville lay,
And a pinnace, like a flutter'd bird, came flying from far away,
'Spanish ships of war at sea! we have sighted fifty-three!'
Then sware Lord Thomas Howard: ' 'Fore God I am no coward;
But I cannot meet them here, for my ships are out of gear,
And the half my men are sick. I must fly, but follow quick.
We are six ships of the line; can we fight with fifty-three?'

II
Then spake Sir Richard Grenville; 'I know you are no coward;
You fly them for a moment to fight with them again.
But I've ninety men and more that are lying sick ashore.
I should count myself the coward if I left them, my Lord Howard,
To these Inquisition dogs and the devildoms of Spain'

III
So Lord Howard past away with five ships of war that day,
Till he melted like a cloud in the silent summer heaven;
But Sir Richard bore in hand all his sick men fromt he land
Very carefully and slow,
Men of Bideford in Devon,
And we laid them on the ballast down below;
For we brought them all aboard,
And they blest him in their pain, that they were not left to Spain,
To the thumbscrew and the stake, for the glory of the Lord.

IV
He had only a hundred seamen to work the ship and to fight,
And he sailed away from Flores till the Spaniard came in sight,
With his huge sea-castles heaving upon the weather bow.
'Shall we fight or shall we fly?
Good Sir Richard, tell us now,
For to fight is but to die!
There'll be little of us left by the time this sun be set.'
And Sir Richard said again: 'We be all good English men.
Let us bang these dogs of Seville, the children of the devil,
For I never turn'd my back upon Don or devil yet.'

V
Sir Richard spoke and he laugh'd, and we roar'd a hurrah, and so
The little Revenge ran on sheer into the heart of the foe,
With her hundred fighters on deck, and her ninety sick below;
For half of their fleet to the right and half to the left were seen,
And the little Revenge ran on thro/ the long sea-lane between.

VI
Thousands of their soldiers look'd down from their decks an laugh'd,
Thousands of their seamen made mock at the mad little craft
Running on and on, till delay'd
By their mountain-like San Philip that, of fifteen hundred tons,
And up-shadowing high above us with he yawning tiers of guns,
Took breath from out sails, and we stay'd.

VII
And while now the great San Philip hung above us like a cloud
Whence the thunderbolt will fall
Long and loud,
Four galleons drew away
>From the Spanish fleet that day,
And two upon the larboard and two upon the starboard lay,
And the battle-thunder broke from them all.

VIII
But anon the great San Philip, she bethought herself and went
Having that within her womb that had left her ill content;
And the rest they came aboard us, and athey fought us hand to hand,
For a dozen times they came with their pikes and musqueteers,
And a dozen times we shook 'em off as a dog that shakes his ears
When he leaps from the water to the land.

IX
And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea,
But never a moment ceased the fight of the one and the fifty-three.
Ship after ship, the whole night long, their high-built galleons came,
Ship after ship, the whole night long, with her battle-thunder and flame,
Ship after ship, the whole night long, drew back with her dead and her shame.
For some were sunk and many were shatter'd, and so could fight us no more -
God of battles, was ever a battle like this in the world before?

X
For he said "Fight on! fight on!'
Tho' his vessel was all but a wreck;
And it chanced that, when half of the short summer night was gone,
With a grisly wound to be drest he had left the deck,
But a bullet struck him that was dressing it suddenly dead,
And himself he was wounded again in the side and the head,
And he said 'Fight on! fight on!'

XI
And the night went down, and the sun smiled out far over the summer sea,
And the Spanish fleet with broken sides lay around us all in a ring;
But they dared not touch us again, for they fear'd that we still could sting,
So they watch'd what the end would be.
And we had not fought them in vain,
But in perilous plight were we,
Seeing forty of our poor hundred were slain,
And half of the rest of us maim'd for life
In the crash of the cannonades and the desperate strife;
And the sick men down in the hold were most of them stark and cold,
And the pikes were all broken or bent, and the powder was all of it spent;
And the masts and the rigging were lying over the side;
But Sir Richard cried in his English pride,
'We have fought such a fight for a day and a night
As may never be fought again!
We have won great glory, my men!
And a day less or more
At sea or ashore,
We die - does it matter when?
Sink me the ship, Master Gunner - sink her, split her in twain!
Fall into the hands of God, not into the hands of Spain!

XII
And the gunner said 'Ay, ay,' but the seamen made reply:
'We have children, we have wives,
And the Lord hath spared our lives.
We will make the Spanaird promise, if we yield, to let us go;
We shall live to fight and to strike another blow.'
And the lion there lay dying, and they yielded to the foe.

XIII
And the stately Spanish men to their flagship bore him then
Where they laid him by the mast, old Sir Richard caught at last,
And they praised him to his face with their courtly foreign grace;
But he rose upon their decks, and he cried:
'I have fought for Queen and Faith like a valient man and true;
I have only done my duty as a man is bound to do:
With a joyful spirit I Sir Richard Grenville die!'
And he fell upon their decks, and he died.

XIV
And they stared at the dead that had been so valient and true,
And had holden the power and glory of Spain so cheap
That he dared her with one ship and his English few!
Was he devil or man? He was devil for aught they knew,
But they sank his body with honour down into the deep,
And they mann'd the Revenge with a swarthier alien crew,
And away she sail'd with her loss and long'd for her own;
When a wind from the lands they had ruin'd awoke from sleep,
And the water began to heave and the weather to moan,
And or ever that evening ended a great gale blew,
And a wave like the wave that is raised by an earthquake grew,
Till it smote on their hulls and sails and their masts and their flags,
And the whole sea plunged and fell on the shot-shatter'd navy of Spain,
And the little Revenge herself went down by the island crags
To be lost evermore on the main.

[Romantic Old Bird]

There are those who make a fuss
About their duties here
And then there are the rest of us
To whom the task is clear

We may not make a song and dance
We may not shout and yell
Whilst others sit as in a trance
We do their work as well

For we are here and keeping watch
Our eyes are ever peeled
And should they ever make a botch
The breach will soon be sealed

For we are legion and we wait
To quietly do our stuff
When the others tire and go
And feel they've 'done enough'

We'll still stand by, we'll still hold fast
We know our sacred quest
To vouchsafe Boris won't be last
So put us to the test!

ROB 13.5.03

One two three SING ALONG......

Come cheer up my lads
It's to glory we steer
To add something more
To this wonderful year
To honour we call you
As free men, not slaves
For who are so free
As the sons of the waves
CHORUS
Heart of oak are our ships
Heart of oak are our men
We always are ready
Steady, boys, steady
We'll fight and we'll conquer
Again and again

Our worthy forefathers
Let's give them a cheer
To climates unknown
Did courageously steer
Through oceans to deserts
For freedom they came
And dying, bequeathed us
Their freedom and fame

David Garrick 1759

"Don't throw me overboard, Hardy. I wish to be buried by the side of my father and mother, unless it should please the King to order otherwise. "Take care of my dear Lady Hamilton, Hardy: take care of poor Lady Hamilton. And never forget Horatia. Kiss me, Hardy." (Or, possibly: Kismet, Hardy.)

A rogue badger attacked five people during a 48-hour rampage in a quiet suburb.

One man required two skin graft operations, after the badger woke him up and attacked him when he went outside to investigate.

Other victims included a man who was attacked as he walked home from a pub, in Evesham, Worcestershire.

Mike Weaver, from the Worcestershire Badger Society, said: "I have never heard of anything like this in 24 years of work with badgers throughout the UK."

'Horror movie'

The badger, which is thought to have been injured, has been put down.

Pam Fitzgerald, said the attack on her husband Michael, who is still in hospital after the skin grafts, was like a "bizarre horror movie".


Michael Fitzgerald needed two skin grafts
She said: "We had gone to bed and we heard a noise in the garage.

"My husband opened the door and the badger sat there and then, gradually, just slowly walked towards him and attacked him.

"It caught him on his arm and, in the process of trying to get the badger off himself, he's lost quite a lot of skin on his arm and some of the flesh."

Mrs Fitzgerald said the badger also bit her husband's leg, forcing the couple to flee inside their house.

"It was terrifying because we didn't expect a badger to attack because we know that badgers, when they smell a human, will disappear," she said.

Police take evasive action

Mrs Fitzgerald added that her husband will have a lasting reminder of the attack.

"He's still in hospital... they've had to do skin grafts on both of his wounds. He will be very badly scarred."

The Worcestershire Badger Society, finally rounded up the animal on Friday.


I been involved with badgers for 24 years now and I've never heard of anything like this

Worcestershire Badger Society
Mr Weaver said: "I was called out on Thursday night. A young man walking home, I presume from the pub, had been bitten by a badger."

The animal was nowhere to be seen, but early on Friday morning Mr Weaver received a call from police after it was seen chasing people.

"The police officer told me it had kept some of their officers at bay and indeed they had to jump on to the bonnet of a car to escape it."

Mr Weaver said it was extraordinary behaviour for an animal that is usually wary of people.

"Normal behaviour for a badger would be that as soon as it scented humans it would take off.

Tamed cub

"My belief is that this badger had been brought up from a cub (named as "Boris" by Central News)with people. The evidence for that is the fact that it had no fear of humans at all."

Mr Weaver said there was no need for people to start fearing an onslaught of badger attacks.

He said: "I've been in touch with other people who've been involved with badgers and they've never heard of anything like it.

"I would consider this to be a one-off incident and the people of Evesham and Worcestershire, and indeed everywhere else in the country should not be worried that this may happen again."

I knew there was something about our Boris............. :laugh:

I've never heard of a badger attacking people either and I'm sure it must have been because it had been injured. I'm thinking perhaps a bump to the head, maybe in a road traffic accident, had affected it in some way.
