While I share your feelings on this, allow me to assert that nobody in
this current administration knows the slightest about communism, neo
or otherwise.

If you only knew a small part of my dealings with Mr Browns department
over the past two years you'd know that they're far closer to the
German administration of the late 1930s that could ever otherwise be
believed.

No, that'd be too easy. There's a very good mooring on the Coventry
canal though - comes with its own police parking space for
convenience...

It could be that little problem I had see " OT you can be sure of Shell" btw
the plot has thickened somewhat I finally recieved my replacement "Hole int'
wall" card thursday popped down the local offy tonite for a case of rocket
fuel and FFS the pin doesnt work and I haven't been issued a new one I am
one postal delivery and a short chat away from going ballistic and remember
its a feckin bank holiday weekend so I am doubly less than impressed.
The lass at our offy tells me it was our local shell garage pulling
the pin and chip scam and they have been royally knicked I have to wonder if
they have spare kneecaps? as there are a few locals who if pushed into it,
may want the ones they have for souvenirs.

btw don't I always have a contingency in case of just such an occurence so I
am not short of a shilling but I don't take well to being ****ed about.

Fed up as you are - this comment was totally approriate for this
thread

May I suggest anyone who _is_ short of a Shilling buy 12 of the
Pennies (that'll confuse the youngsters!)

On topic too - Discovery in the first pic

There's a few scary bits along that stretch too, certainly not worth
mooring at.
