Kojak with action-man hair would have been a whole different take.
Talk about 'thread drift' - glad to see AoS is maintaining its reputation! :)
At least it is better than the tedious discussion elsewhere about Trump. :(
Better to be a silent Trumper, no one sees it coming.
From 1976 Kojak could also have the 'eagle eyes' fitted. That would have been dead handy to protect him in hostage situations. But he would need Crocker permanently stationed behind him to work the lever.Quote:

Where?
Eastbourne. Do I win a stick of rock?
What flavour would you like?Quote:

Lamp post was unmarked, but the van is feeling a bit sorry for itself. I haven't told Mrs. P yet, she already thinks I'm a shit driver.Quote:

Nope, no idea, looks nice, but no idea where you are!
I think that's the whole idea.
Reminds me of the photos my wife sent from Blackpool when she took our daughter away for a girls' weekend.
One of the Canary Islands?
Was that the time they both got pissed and woke up in Tenerife? :D Anything can happen in Blackpool, including drive-by paintball shootings. And I should know.Quote:

Madeira?
Slight clue in one of the dishes on the lunch thread.
Corfu?
Somewhere in the Med I suppose, from the architecture - what about Crete?
Or Kos, or Rhodes, somewhere Greek anyway.
Not Greece but Greek [emoji848]
Cyprus! I almost said that earlier :doh:
Yep, here for two weeks [emoji846]Quote:

Three parts really as the Sovereign Base Areas are a British Overseas Territory.Quote:

Hotel maintenance bloke has already told me about the machine gun toting peacekeepers, going to visit Nicosia at some point, maybe compare Greek to Turkish kebabs. Paphos tomorrow.Quote:

Make sure you have a skinfull first or it will skew the results.
And they should also give the Peacekeepers the night off on a Saturday. Not a proper kebab shop without a fight going on outside.Quote:

Whether or not Roy and his partner visit Northern Cyprus, I hope they have a pleasant stay.
Thanks Barry [emoji846]Quote:

22 - 24 today, quite comfortable. Need a thin jacket or jumper if venturing out at night.Quote:
