That's why I prefer highway driving.


Is this for both drivers and pedestians waiting for the light to turn green?

I use to smile when she would go out in her kerchief driving her Land Rover and doing a little shopping and get caught by the media doing it. She could not only drive a car but knew what needed fixed if it should ever broke down.  When Princess Elizabeth turned 18 in 1944, she insisted upon joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women’s branch of the British Army. 

Princess Elizabeth began her training as a mechanic in March 1945. She undertook a driving and vehicle maintenance course at Aldershot, qualifying on April 14. Newspapers at the time dubbed her “Princess Auto Mechanic.” I'm surprised that she didn't join the Calvary, knowing her love of horses.

No use doing one if they don't specify, is there. It's like saying 60% of people write with their right hand. Then you wonder, how many people write with their left hand and how many are  Ambidextrous people who have the ability to use both hands with equal dexterity.

Chalk it up to "inconclusive" then.

Experts say that the cameo style of jewelry enjoyed the greatest popularity during the Roman era, the Renaissance era and the 19th century.  I think its time has come again.

Dunno if the Prince was mechanically inclined but he did fly airplanes which is an indication he was. I suppose a woman toiling under the hood (bonnet) of a truck could be "alluring."

Even though she inspected her first honour guard at age 16, her father wouldn't let your join the ATS with any rank.

The only difference between her and the other girls on course was they stayed in barracks at night but she travelled back and forth from Windsor Castle.

I had probably the same ring. They were big in the 60's.

Geez, Tommy, you micks are all the same when someone is back on to you. Are you sure your not Greek or Italian?

I thought Prince Philip was into automotive engineering; i.e., the Range Rover he designed.

My oldest cameo is from 1966, a birthday gift.  Cameos are timeless and a designer named Scognamiglio is bringing them to the fore again.

With the price of gold for a half decent ring, most young guys don't buy them anymore.

In Australia Speedos are called Budgy smugglers. 


Don't you just hate it Tommy when you go to the beach in your little white Speedo and all the women are eyeing your man parts.

Then for some reason they all break into laughter and not only look but start pointing too.

The bad part is when you look down to see what the laughter is all about and discover you have a wad of wet toilet paper hanging out one of the legs holes.

I hear you don't go down to the beach much anymore. Worse beach I have ever been on was Brighton Beach on the south coast of England. All pebbles and the worst part is, there not all the same size. Who makes a beach like that anyway?

I never go to the beach Pete. When I take my shirt off & show by Budgies locked in the Speedo, the women are all over me. Ever get "pawed" at the beach Pete? Self-pawing doesn't count.

I don't go to the beach anymore tommy because I hate getting the wheels of my walker stuck in the sand.
