In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.

Gosh has the previous labour Government cocked it up again?


Nice to see this chap is busy doing something more important;

"No-one from the Ministry of Defence was available to comment on the report".

Good old No-one!

They're too busy approving the carriers to be built, even though that project may never go ahead!

I watched a programme on Michael Jacksons ape called Bubbles last night, he seemed pretty intelligent, let's stick him in parliament to get things sorted!

Well, you see Sir Humphrey, Everyone was capable of doing it, but due to ministerial duties decided that Anyone could do it. However, as Anyone could not be found, Someone was nominated for the job. Someone could not remember being informed, so No-one did it!!
:p :D :D =)) =))
