The only other option would have been to do what someone near me did:

Have just found a rich vein of humour that kept me entertained for a while and so I thought I would share it!



I thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done for mining that rich vein of humour. As you can see, I left all the best ones in. smokie 

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have known about this except for this post. I will definately be taking a walk down to the river at lunch time to watch the flypast. Thanks

In my humble opinion (or IMHO if you prefer) there are many members like me who may not be at the forefront of CA activity but could not bear to see the site go to the wall for the sake of a few quid. Due to the nature of our collective hobby we must all have a bit of spare cash to make sure that this institution keeps running! As previously stated I do not (due to time and knowledge constraints) join in the discussions a great deal but would pay for the entertainment value of the site alone! If a paypal account is set up please let us know so that a donation may be made.

Cheers

(I know that this is probably a longer winded version of Steve Bs response but I just wanted to add my two penneth worth)

There has been a debate in the media about "how early is it acceptable to wear a poppy?" This kind of takes away from the purpose of buying a poppy - it is not a fashion accessory but a tribute that each and every one of us can wear that shows how much we appreciate the actions of those that have given their lives during the conflicts that our armed forces have been involved in.

I must apologise about the lack of punctuation but feel that the point should be made - a poppy is for remembrance not just a fashion accessory!

God went to the Arabs and said, "I have Commandments for you that will make your lives better.

The Arabs asked, "What are Commandments?"

And the Lord said, "They are rules for living."

"Can you give us an example?"

"Thou shall not kill."

"Not kill?

We're not interested."

So He went to the Blacks and said, "I have Commandments."

The Blacks wanted an example, and the Lord said,

"Honor thy Father and Mother."

"Father? We don't know who our fathers are."

We're not interested.

Then He went to the Mexicans and said, "I have Commandments."

The Mexicans also wanted an example, and the Lord said

"Thou shall not steal."
"Not steal?

We're not interested."

Then He went to the French and said, "I have Commandments."

The French too wanted an example and the Lord said,

"Thou shall not commit adultery."
"Not commit adultery?

We're not interested."

Finally, He went to the Jews and said, "I have Commandments."
"Commandments?" They said,

"How much are they?"

"They're free."

"We'll take 10."

There is not one person amongst us all who could be as free to enjoy our lives (and this site is proof positive) without the heroism of the previous generation. There is no end to the respect I have for all of those who gave everything for us and any opportunity to pay our respects/honour our heroes should be embraced wholeheartedly.

May we never forget!

I must agree that the build up to June is the most intensive. Even though I am not going to make it this year I cannot help but see what everybody has planned and realise what I am missing out on

A young man moved into a new apartment on his own, and went to the lobby to put his name on his mailbox. While there, an attractive young lady came out of the apartment next to the mailboxes wearing a robe.

The boy smiled at the young woman and she started a conversation with him.

As they talked, her robe slipped open, and it was obvious that she had nothing else on. The poor kid broke into a sweat trying to maintain eye contact. After a few minutes, she placed her hand on his arm and said, "Let's go to my apartment, I hear someone coming."

He followed her into her apartment; she closed the door and leaned against it, allowing her robe to fall off completely. Now nude, she purred at him, "What would you say is my best feature?" Flustered and embarrassed, he finally squeaked, "It's got to be your ears!"

Astounded, and a little hurt she asked, "My ears? Look at these breasts; they are full and 100% natural! I work out every day! My butt is firm and solid! Look at my skin - no blemishes anywhere! How can you think that the best part of my body is my ears?"

Clearing his throat, he stammered, "Outside, when you said you heard someone coming? That was me."

 

Paid 36 euros for each of them in total so I think it will be a case of picking them up there. E-mail confirmation said that they would be sent to my home address but I will take that with a pinch of salt.

9 Euros for postage there havin' a laugh.

I have booked two camping bleu tickets but have not recieved them yet (I know it is getting late but I have the e-mailed confirmation if all else fails). I now only need one of these and (all being well) would sell at face value the second ticket.

I know that this isn't a solid offer but I am hoping that I can help as that would mean that we get our ticket. Will phone ACO on Monday to check what to do.

If I do get it sorted out we would probably have to meet at Le Mans and sort it out (we should arrive early afternoon on the Thursday).

Let me know if this is any good and I will let you know how I am getting on with ticketing etc.
