Several more people have died after contracting a deadly Middle Eastern Virus related to SARS,. Saudi Arabia's death toll from SARS has now passed one hundred, a total approaching four hundred cases of this respiratory disease. Other nearby countries  Jordan,  Egypt,  Kuwait,  Oman and Qatar have reported cases of this disease. No person is immune from this virus, avoiding  this geographical area  would be the safest solution for persons travelling to Europe. Heading North  to Singapore or even further to Hong Kong and taking  Northern  loop flights over to Europe and thereby avoiding these infected areas is the safest option. However, I cannot recommend Canton aka Guangzhou PROC for a stopover, for reasons best known to me. Have a safe journey. Vest ... Back soon.

The story goes like this: The Americans are withdrawing from Afghanistan; one of their command and control systems (used for controlling pilotless drones) was hijacked by the Taliban when an American transport convoy was moving down from one of the hill-top bases. The Taliban ambushed the convoy and killed 2 American Seal personnel, seized the equipment/weapons, including the command and control system which weighed about 20 tons and packed into 6 crates. This happened about a month ago in Feb 2014. What the Taliban wants is money. They want to sell the system to the Russians or the Chinese. The Russians are too busy in Ukraine. The Chinese are hungry for the system's technology. Just imagine if the Chinese master the technology behind the command and control system, all the American drones will become useless. So the Chinese sent 8 top defense scientists to check the system and ...

     Dear Emily Rose... It is doubtful if I shall be propelling myself further into the blogosphere this being due to my age and having less time to fulfill blogging duties, my wife has asked "what time is my 'Hair do' four times in the past hour, meaning I have another problem to deal with now. However, at nearly 88 and 8 years senior to my beloved I consider myself fortunate not to have lost my marbles and being youthful for my ongoing years, but not a 'Dorian Gray' as such, although I still have twelve bottom teeth no tatts and a fair amount of hair, I still drive and do gardening, mowing and cooking and other odd domestic chores,.My son aged 59 is a computer whizz kid and deals with all my PC Problems; eventually or when available when he is awake. ... Thank you for your offer,to fix my website - but due to a leak in our water supply I have recently received an excess water bill for $965-00. Although most people are seemingly aware I have oodl...

gt; Class Reunion 60th High School Reunion He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years being high school classmates and having attended class reunions in the past without fail. This 60th anniversary of their class, the widower and the widow made a foursome with two other singles. They had a wonderful evening, their spirits high. The widower throwing admiring glances across the table. The widow smiling coyly back at him. Finally, he picked up courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?" After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes,..... yes I will!" The evening ended on a happy note for the widower. But the next morning he was troubled. Did she say “Yes” or did she say “No?” He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not recall. He went over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank. He remembered asking the question but for the life...

A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes. The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and They asked him what happened.

Allen was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Allen 's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Allen 's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next ...

April 1, All Fools day, Easter Sunday 1945. Operation Iceberg We were promised that the time darkness fell that day we would have enough excitement to fill our minds for years to come.  At the time I was serving on the Battleship HMS King George V.  as a seasoned sailor of two years and aged only 18 & 9 months, one of many children serving  as cannon fodder in the British Royal Navy during WW2. The previous day Action was aborted; this was due to the tail end of a typhoon preventing the need for air cover from the Five fleet A/C Carriers, of the British Pacific Fleet, in the expectancy that an attack on the Japanese airfields At Miako Shima and Ishigaki by the Brits drawing off enemy air power from the Americans about to invade Okinawa the following morning would lessen the problems for the invading Americans. Well whether it did or not, the mayhem created the following day was not at all good for the faint hearted, and a taster for eight more w...
