Yes. the British Prime Minister did thank the crew for representing Britain at the fleet Review 100th Anniversary of the Canadian Navy this weekend. I understand this Saturday is some kind of armed forces day over there.http://halifaxifr.ca/en/home/tabid/61/default.aspx Don, I noticed the link said: Latest News Ship tours schedule announced "During the IFR several foreign and Canadian ships will be open for tours including the HMS ARK ROYAL and USS WASP. Visit the ship tours schedule for more info...." You going to go take a look around? Normally I avoid crowds...but this might be worthwhile. If the weather is good (and the reports are favourable) I wouldn't mind doing my own little review of the fleet in the Princecraft Yukon. Agoraphobic? No phobia.... just like lots of elbow room. That's one of the things I like about this province...less than a million people in total. In fact, the four Atlantic Provinces all together only total about 2 million people. You must have some aversion to crowds other than "elbow room". Ever been to a concert or sporting event? Guess not. When I went o to sporting events or concerts, I was a guest in my brother-in-laws 'Sky Box' Lots of room, drinks & food. Uh, oh, little buddy. You need to call out your own typo there to save face. But, I like the fact that you are getting to lie about things as much as me. I'm too cultured and refined to sit with the riff-raff at a sporting event too. I rent the sky box condos. I don't have to rent anything spoofer, I was always a pampered guest. Good job! Now embelish your lies with a little story to go with it, it makes them more believable! Like this: My father took a runabout across the Atlantic and back in February. He came home to a fireboat welcome in New York City. It's a good thing that he had seven very large bilge pumps, because the amount of water that that fireboat was showering that little runabout with would have surely sunk it. |

The three corporations some might remember favorably or not died or were sold off in pieces, and the new corporations that use those names simply bought the names. |

Yeah, about 20 years ago, an Italian firm called Magnetti Mirelli bought a couple of Lucas assembly plants in England. That was like two drunks tying themselves together to see if they could stagger straight. Now some of Lucas has been bought out by the premium company, Nippon Denso. That's like Rockwell Int'l buing out Briggs & Stratton. A lot of 'Denso' products are still the same crappy Lucas design. I'm still trying to figure that one out. |

A few years ago, there were some late model F series U.S. fighter jets equipped for the Navy that were grounded due to faulty guidance systems built by Lucas Aeronautics. The Prince of Darkness struck again! |
