In the sixties I had an MGA.
A lovely car for its time but the S.U. fuel pump was so unreliable that I kept a hammer under the passenger seat in order to thump the pump mounting panel and free the stuck points.
Last year a colonial from Illinois moved to our village, and we got talking about our cars.
He confessed that as a teenager he had loved his MGA. I asked was there anything peculiar about it. ‘Yes’ he said, ‘I used to keep a hammer under the passenger seat . . .'

In other words Billy Boy Clinton was scum. Arkansas trailer trash that somehow made it to White House. I still don't give Monica a pass. She wasn't forced on her knees as far as we know. Young and stupid? Yes. Still no excuse.

Would you like a pile of first stones that you can cast?

All excellent advice above. Any direction but south-south-west and you will be pleased.
Bronte fans may wish to visit the rectory at Haworth, though it is not particularly photogenic.
I have a soft spot for Ripon, and Fountains Abbey should not be missed:-

When I was younger I was very fast. I could turn off the light and get in bed before the room was dark.


Me too; especially in a room that was supposed to be haunted!

Whatever equipment you take, make sure you visit Wells, Gloucester, and Worcester[ pronounced 'gloster' and 'wuster'].
Durham is a 5 hour drive North, but you will be glad you went!
I do suggest a light tripod, a bean-bag or similar, and a remote release.

That's nice. So now, let's leave the happy couple alone to enjoy life together and stop all the "oh, a royal getting married" crapola. We broke from England to avoid this garbage.


. . .and ended up with Trump instead!

I don't know how relevant this may be to Mosquitos but 'Biggles' was a very popular child's fictional hero in the middle of the 20th century.
His date of birth was always uncertain, rather like that of Sherlock Holmes, though he certainly saw service in the Great War.
Instead of Dr. Watson, his constant companions were the rather 'upper class' 'Algy', and the 'other ranks' 'Ginger'.
The books were written by a 'Captain W.E. Johns', though whether this was an actual human or a factory I have never found out.
I don't remember any specific association with Mosquitos, though Biggles was active in Sopwith Camels, and on one ocassion an expedition in a Supermarine Walrus to, I believe, South America.
There was also an also identical female aviator by the name of 'Worrals'; in those more innocent times few of us considered that she might be Biggles in drag . . .

Thanks DSMetz, if people don't want to be helpful, they should ignore the posts. The nastiness of some people makes this website less and less useful for anyone who really needs a question answered. I am glad there are still some people here who care.

And this year's batch of Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes didn't gain strength because they were traveling over warmer than usual waters?

Care to explain to those islands that were leveled in two consecutive devastating storms within two weeks that Irma and Maria weren't the result of global warming?

Those were real lives lost, real homes lost, real businesses destroyed, and thousands are now fighting for their lives without basic necessities in place. Basics that we take for granted. Clean water to drink, electricity, and sewage treatment plants that function.

The mountains of our money wickedly wasted on the Warmist religion would be better spent on aid for all those who suffer from the terrible catastrophic damage caused by Climate.
