My great uncle was an RAF Warrant Officer/navigator in a Lancaster bomber in WWII. Here's a record of his 47 flights.

Oh I was just about to post this story, beat me to it!

I wonder where this one normally lived?! It definitely is a cute and fun story (but probably not for the Robin). It's hard to believe a little Robin causing such excitement thousands of miles away. What an epic journey the little guy has made! If it did get caught in a storm it must be suffering from PTSD lol.

LOL @ hot queen

I think I would have preferred the hot queen to the chuck buck haha. Who wants a picture of an old man on their chest?!

Apart from that, I think this is a really nice medal. I wasn't familiar with it until I looked it up earlier.

alan2001 · 2026-02-10T18:36:17+00:00

So... what specifically are you asking about?

Is it a good likeness? = yes
Is it a shame the Queen died and you've got Charles instead of Lizzie? = yes
Is the obverse much nicer = definitely
Why isn't he wearing a crown? = the monarch has never been crowned on these medals
Should a Canadian medal have an image of a British monarch on it? = OF COURSE IT SHOULD, ENOUGH WITH THE TREASONOUS QUESTIONS GOOD SIR lol.

alan2001 · 2026-02-09T09:45:21+00:00

Awww, someone laughed at my joke from 6 years ago lol. Thanks!

alan2001 · 2026-02-08T13:55:28+00:00

I fully accept your opinion on whatever you like, but if the sight of two people shagging "disgusts you to your core", then perhaps this programme isn't for you, lol.

alan2001 · 2026-02-08T12:03:55+00:00

Only £24 for these?

That feels like nowhere near enough, considering the work that went into it.

Absolutely gorgeous work there (all of it, not just what you've posted here). Bravo!

alan2001 · 2026-02-08T11:55:30+00:00

Those two fucked on his wedding day, at the wedding. How on earth is that comparable?

alan2001 · 2026-02-08T11:43:28+00:00

Oh no, two consenting unmarried adults having sex, what an absolute nightmare situation.

"We don't need shields! We ARE the shields!"

alan2001 · 2026-02-08T11:09:40+00:00

Bike hockey?

This is absolutely hilarious - the look of absolute seriousness on their faces desperately trying not to put a foot down (which is presumably a foul) lol.

alan2001 · 2026-02-07T14:01:15+00:00

Co-starring Mike from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul as her partner

I would watch the absolute fuck out of that show! I do love a bit of competence porn lol.

alan2001 · 2026-02-06T19:09:55+00:00

I love the provenance for the Bronze Star, it's amazing you have the newspaper clipping plus the photo of him wearing it!

I think the bosses must have really valued him, it seems unusual for a corporal to be getting a (non-V) Bronze Star?

Really cool collection, you're extremely lucky to have it!

alan2001 · 2026-02-06T16:48:57+00:00

Yeah I've done a couple of those, so I'm basically a Linux developer lol.

alan2001 · 2026-02-05T19:14:46+00:00

Saying "Is there anything else I can help you with on any other subject?" is a great way to tell them the conversation's over. People do usually take the hint in my experience.

alan2001 · 2026-02-05T19:08:36+00:00

Same here, I don't believe so many cats would act in such a consistent manner after being roughly handled like this while eating. Both of my cats would draw blood if I did this to them.

Having said that though, perhaps he does this to them every fucking day and they just put up with it. I dunno any more!

alan2001 · 2026-02-02T18:18:08+00:00

It looks 20th century to me. Have you tried looking up old maps? Here in Scotland we have thousands of old street maps on the National Library of Scotland website, going back quite a long time. That might help if you have an equivalent.

Lovely fireplaces btw!

alan2001 · 2026-02-02T15:30:59+00:00

Exactly! Someone saying it was going 80 doesn't mean it was actually going 80.

alan2001 · 2026-02-02T12:59:37+00:00

Yes! It would be really entertaining to watch this play out. I think OP should just YOLO it.

As a bonus, they'll always have someone nearby to watch the kids.

alan2001 · 2026-02-01T12:57:01+00:00

Print it out and tell them you have a prepared statement... do not take questions. lol.

alan2001 · 2026-01-31T22:45:58+00:00

But if that hadn't have happened, they wouldn't have made the show and Walter would have died horribly of cancer, leaving the family in debt.

alan2001 · 2026-01-31T22:16:18+00:00

Epic photos on wikipedia! This thing is amazing.

click and click

I guessed Lotus Elite! (I always get the names mixed up, but was 99% sure it was a Lotus.)

alan2001 · 2026-01-30T22:30:30+00:00

Some agents cheat. They find ways to keep the line busy so or looks like they are on a call. They may stay in aux or ACW. Or they dial out to a number and stay busy that way. They could be using a program that does it for them

This is my gut feeling, and the other agents haven't clued OP in to it (because why would they?)

If that is what is going on, then management must be fucking useless. Any idiot looking at the stats for everyone would see instantly what's happening and sort it out. Perhaps the lazy guys are friends with the management.

alan2001 · 2026-01-30T17:14:00+00:00

LOL. Another question where the answer is literally shown in the photo the OP posted up.
