Bhx what did I see.?

[smit8361]

Just after grand prix noticed a considerable bigger than normal plane taking off from bhx. It was noticeably bigger and moving slower than anything else that takes off there. Thought it might be to do with Chinese pm possibly.?

When actually did we change from Great Britain to United Kingdom?

[Eric Mc]

When Scotland joined the Union.

no when the island of Ireland came under british rule and we will remain the United kingdom unless the fenians get their way ... even though the most likly way of getting a 'United Ireland' at present in the UK taking over the bankrupt hulk or Eire when /if it defaults on EU /IMF bailouts

Do you actually know what 'Fenian' really means? Or are you just another Brit TOSSER buying in to Unionist/Loyalist B/S?

It wasnt BRIT tossers that killed the SAC and his six month old daughter at Wildenrath.

Nor the two SACs that were blown apart in Roermond, not will they heal the wounds of the fella that survived.

Same as the other SAC murdered the same night as that bomb when he was sleeping in his car or the two others that were shot?

What about the RAF Corporal killed at a VCP in 1989.


Bit distasteful that to be honest. Seeing as some republicans call themselves Fenians (Especially around Sion Mills and Strabane and across teh border) then I dont think him calling them that is stupid or offensive, saying that they want a United Ireland (which is why they are Republicans in the first place) isnt exactly out of line.

Hardly Unionist/Loyalist BS is it?

Im sorry but people say all the time that if the majority of Falklanders want to remain British citizens then thats what will happen. When the majority of state in the UK want to remain part of the UK well that makes them Brit tossers and Unionists/Loyalists which is being used as an insult these days. As if its something to be ashamed about.

I will agree he was less that eloquent in putting it across however.

Just out of interest do you know why it comes in to Birmingham? In case you are interested in the reason that's all.

As much as I love the RAF and all it's aircraft

I really hate seeing the C17 when it is flying over my head to BHX

Not because it is carrying heroes for treatment, but because they should never have been in the line of fire over there anyway.

[TheEnd]

Yep, I know of what it's doing here and why it comes to B'ham.

Fair one, just didn't know if you knew why or not. I think there is something sombre about an aircraft used for that purpose.

At least they don't have AMBIWLANS all over them!

I'm quite proud that Brum has the SellyOak/QE Hospital tending to our military casualties, simply so very sad that they have so many to tend to. And a bloody great job they do of it too, even if the Miltary Hospitals have had to make way.
