Hello everyone.
Hope your all well.;)#
Been watching BBC1 Remembrance day.
I follow this every year.
My grandfather and his brothers were in the Welsh Regiment, and also held Prisoners of the Japanese war, my gramp watched his one brother get shot in front of him.
Sad day for all and a good day to remember the ones we love, and give credit to the ones that have served our countries.:beer:
I lost my gramp when I was a little girl, but do also have memories of him, of every remembrance days.
Still missing him loads. XXXThe one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

HI all,
I am a very disgruntled financial adviser that works for the halifax, have been since april and I am shocked at what goes on behind the scenes, did you know that all the advisers talk about you collectively in the morning huddles and prospecting meeting every morning at 9 o clock, they are trying desperatly to sell you everything they can and especially get the loan protection or critical illness, life cover. There are people on disciplinary for not selling protection enough !!!!! Shocked, you would not believe it. I am resigning this month with a view to going back doing what I was before and I would just like to warn all the great and good british public to this farce of customer focussed bank staff. Protection= points=bonuses.0 -

Hi Thanks for that. Think you are confirming what a lot of us already knew really. Am glad you are able to "escape" and find perhaps a more ethical and fulfilling job. Good Luck.:mad:0 -
Golfing Hit Man
Two old friends were just about to tee off at the first hole of their local golf course when a guy carrying a golf bag called out to them, 'Do you mind if I join you? My partner didn't turn up.'
'Sure,' they said, 'You're welcome.' So they started playing and enjoyed the game and the company of the newcomer.
Part way around the course, one of
the friends asked the newcomer, 'What do you do for a living?'
'I'm a hit man,' was the reply.
'You're joking!' was the response.
'No, I'm not,' he said, reaching into his golf bag, and pulling out a beautiful Martini sniper's rifle with a large telescopic sight.. 'Here are my tools.'
'That's a beautiful telescopic sight,' said the other friend, 'Can I take a look? I think I might be able to see my house from
here.' So he picked up the rifle and looked through the sight in the direction of his house.
'Yeah, I can see my house all right. This sight is fantastic. I can see right in the window.' 'Wow, I can see my wife in the bedroom.. Ha Ha, I can see she's naked!! Wait a minute, that's my neighbor in there with her......He's naked, too!!!
He turned to the hit man, 'How much do you charge for a hit?'
'I'll do a flat rate, for you, one thousand dollars every time I pull the trigger.'
'Can you do two for me now?'
'Sure, what do you want?'
'First, shoot my wife, she's always been mouthy, so shoot her in the mouth.'
'Then the neighbor, he's a friend of mine, so just shoot his d**k off to teach him a lesson.'
The hit man took the rifle and took aim, standing perfectly still for a few
minutes.
'Are you going to do it or not?' said the friend impatiently.
'Just be patient,' said the hit man calmly, 'I think I can save you a grand here.....'0
