    There is an Old film ( can't remember the name, might be 1,2,3 ), Where a guy trying to cross the border is sent to Screen One
    He hasn't the right form . so the Attendant tells him to go to the next window. Which he does , only to be met by the same
    Attendant, who stamps his form, sadly he needs another stamp on his documents, so the attendant sends him to window three. Where he again meets the same attendant who stamps it for him before sending him back to the first window. :))
    I used to think it was a farce, now I see it was an upcoming documentary. :D

    I knew that you'd like it, TP! {[]

    Tom Mabe did a kind of crusade against telemarketers some time ago.
    He once booked himself into a hotel, where they held a convention and called the bosses on their rooms at 3am to sell them sleeping pills :))

    Well Templar - tastes are different.

    I hope that you realize that Mabe pranks the telemarketers and your video bothers people with fake sales calls.
    A big difference imo

    Ok here's my rant of the moment.

    I went to buy a stamp yesterday at my local Post Office.

    Me: A first class stamp please.
    PO: When does it need to arrive?
    Me: ummm as soon as possible please.
    PO: Well first class can take 1-3 days. But we can get it there for you tomorrow recorded delivery, for only £6.22.
    Me: £6.22! Umm no thanks.
    PO: What's in it?
    Me: Come again?
    PO: is there anything valuable, vouchers, cheques, anything like that?
    Me: I'm not sure, my wife asked me to post it...
    PO: Well we can insure it for you for only....
    Me: No! no thanks. just the stamp please?
    PO: Ok. Hey! When's your car insurance due for renewal? Would you like a credit card? Would you..... Where are you going, sir? Sir?

    Now I'm not against upselling, but is it just me who thinks Post Offices ain't what they used to be? 8-)
    Went to the big post office in Dartford (last year ) found it full of smelly poor people in assorted crappy track suits all queing up
    to get their beer money oh I mean to get their money to buy kids food with ,any way usual bank /post office ,supermarket
    design mentality , relevant head office know it alls go to architect and commission them to design premises,
    plans come back ,they say ,oh we like that yes build it with 10/20 tills windows knowing full well only 3 will ever be open
    you dig so far, so theres me fuming at huge que in the PO pondering to myself about this wonderful invention called soap,
    when this dope ,masqueraiding as a PO manager walks down the line asking all and sundry ,can I help you ,can I help you
    so ,comes to me , me standing there in line with huge parcel under arm , and says can I help you,so me being the sarcastic
    ex copper, (you've all met one ) replies ,yes I will have a deep pan supreme pizza,with extra cheese and salami please
    to wich baffled manager replies , oh we don't sell those here , oh I must be here to post this bloody huge parcel then,
    just open up some more windows X-(

    You had me at this comment " found it full of smelly poor people in assorted crappy track suits all queing up
    to get their beer money oh I mean to get their money to buy kids food with "

    Now I find it a bit stereo typical you saying that, it like me saying "All Coppers are B@stards"

    I would put myself as one of these poor people as I have a disability, whats your excuse ?

    Indeed they are different, the first one commits the offence of impersonating a police officer and the second one doesn't :))

    I think it's very important to see the other side's perspective in a conflict. Keep in mind that even if we live in democracies our media might under-report certain aspects of a conflict and see the problem from only one side.

    Do you have any idea how much you disapointed me by not arguing or even replying to this post? While I stand by what I wrote, I clearly hoped for a good old-fashioned political argument. What are online friends for, I ask? :# :# :#

    Hey, sorry, sometimes when I agree with a post I kind of take for granted that no response means no disagreement. I'm on your page sir.

    Yes, usually I like it when people agree with me. But when I wrote this it was partly motivated by a need to inform my fellow Bond fans, but mainly by a childish need for political argument. You all let me down! :o

    TPTB control all of the major media outlets, so why believe any of it, it wouldn't surprise me if Putin was apart of some weird club that all the leaders and corporate are members of, you know, like the club of Rome or some such and it's all a big game,with real lives lost while forwarding their agenda, like agenda 21 -{

    What do I know, Im just an old hippy :D

    I wonder, are there any Eastern European forum members in AJB007? It would be interesting to read their take on this conflict.

    I just learnt that the new short-term government in Ukraine has no Russian-speakers among its members, in a country with more than 17 % Russians. They allegedly also outlawed the official use of the Russian language in Ukraine. On the other hand, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov claimed today there are no Russian Soldiers in Ukraine outside of the ones inside the Sevastopol base! In Iraq there was Comical Ali, Russia now has Comical Sergey! :))

    I think it is. Suddenly thousands of men come in Russian military helicopters and transport planes come to Crimea. They are wearing Russian army uniforms without insignia and wearing face masks, they have Russian heavy weapons (heavy for infantry) and Russian vehicles with Russian registration plates. They seem very diciplined, well-trained and tight-lipped and act in the interests of Putin. But they are not Russian soldiers, according to Lavrov, they are ad-hoc self-defence groups consisting of of ethnic Russians on Crimea!

    (... and thank you, Chrissall, that was very kind of you :) )

    Just learned this morning, That in the past Ukraine made a deal with NATO and the west ( Signed a treaty ) that for
    giving up their Nuclear Weapons on the understanding that if Ukraine was attacked or invaded. NATO and the west
    would defend it!
    It would seem treaties with the west are Worthless, any other country with Nuclear weapons should hold on to them
    ( Like N.Korea ) then countries like Russia would neve think of invading. :D
