Fool In The Rain 60 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 What made me Angry today was finding out that my 'Leo' and his parents have been living in a house that has a Gas Leak. When I was there I was getting up each morning with a Headache but put it down to lack of sleep. Their House had a Safety Check in December, but my Daughter-in-law has been unwell for sometime, makes me wonder if there is a connection. Needless to say the Dude who did the 'Gas Safety Check' has been Dismissed for being Incompetent, so why wasn't all his previous work rechecked...

Strider Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) ^^^Crikey! That's some scary shit, Fool...thank goodness they caught it before disaster struck. But hell yeah, I'd be smoking angry, too! In regards to your son...it just boggles my mind. I guess coming from the US Army, where there's always a constant need for soldiers(thanks, in part, to the military-industrial complex), the idea that an Army would FORCE someone out is hard to fathom. In the U.S., we have two types of discharge: honourable and dishonourable. If you finish your service, (whether it is 2 years, 4, or for life) without a hitch or any problems, you get honourably discharged. If you're a troublemaker, busted, court-martialed, then you're usually dishonourably discharged before your time of service is up. But with your son...it sounds like he's a good soldier, he WANTS to stay, yet they're forcing him out because the army doesn't have any money? That takes the cake. My heart goes out to your son. What kind of country turns away a citizen who is willing to serve? Remind me again how England remained an empire for so long?

Fool In The Rain 60 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The crazy thing is 'Strider' that all the Armed Forces have got to make cuts but are still Recruiting... Can't quite make that one out... I have no doubt that it will bite them in the Arse (again) they did the same thing a few years ago then had to ask them to come back when we were in both Afgan & Iraq. Now that we are pulling out of these Countries there is a Surplus.. To many NCO= Big wage bill Argentina seem to think that we are being Aggresive with the Falklands because Prince William is doing a 'Search & Rescue Tour' & we also have a Modern 'War ship' heading that way as well. So lets hope that doesn't kick off again, as the Navy has already been down sized... England remained an Empire for so long because... We were Extra nice to other Nations... (thats what BD said anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fool In The Rain 60 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 My car CD player didn't arrive, and I have a long drive tomorrow...so now I have to go searching for some crappy old tapes to listen to Bet your shitty old ford had CD player though...

Fool In The Rain 60 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It did - and I spent ages trying to get the bloody thing out, after Halfords sold me a removal tool that didn't work. In the end, I just smashed the dashboard. And now I find I don't even need it... If I'd left it in, it would've doubled the trade-in value of the car poor you...

Fool In The Rain 60 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Well it's not so bad listening to tapes. Today, for the first time in about 20 years, I played the first UK Subs album. "CID, CID..." Just remembered I have a load of Zappa tapes I made but never listened to. That should be cool...well, it's either Zappa, or The Smiths. Eww.... Hope they are in good working order and the Tape player doesn't chew them up... Cos then you will be really pissed... Enjoy you drive...
