Aussie Soldiers in the Middle East

 

Looks like Santa had some "Plastic" surgery done.

 

Dagenham built Ford Zephyr next to the bus. At that time the Zephyr/Zodiac range was the best selling 6 cylinder in Europe

 

Anybody ever expirement with the tree tinsel and the electric train??? One morning, I found my brother laying tinsel across the tracks, then cranking the whistle lever on the transformer, so he could watch the sparks go through the strands.

He though it was quite the thing until the the fabric my mother put around the base of the tree started smoking and my father caught on to what he was doing.

 

'Bloody Mary' is alive and well in the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu

I just read this today:

Hugh Hefner, founder of Playboy, is engaged to Crystal Harris, 24, December 2009's Playmate of the Month.

The groom, 84, tweeted that he and Crystal exchanged gifts Christmas Eve and he gave her a ring. The happy groom clarified that the ring was an engagement ring: "Yes, the ring I gave Crystal is an engagement ring. I didn't mean to make a mystery out of it. A very merry Christmas to all."

This will be Hefner's third marriage. In 1949 he married Mildred Williams. The couple divorced in 1959. In 1989 he married Kimberley Conrad and separated in 1998. Their divorce was finalized earlier this year.

Do the math, he could be her great grandfather!!!
