Site Map

 

11th Armoured- My Dad during the war & a short history of his Regiment (11th Armoured) 23rd Hussars.

 
Stan the Man- He saved the world from nuclear destruction in the 80's. Really.
Gallery- My family in a photo album.
Interests- Include planes (microlights) , paragliding, R/C modelling, sub-aqua diving.
Barton- Mostly interesting aircraft living there, or visiting. Old photies circa 1954 added 21/1/2004. Less fun, now, as the new owners (Peel Holdings) have introduced new security measures, and prices for everything!
Geocaching - Search for buried treasure!
R/C modelling - boys toys...
For Sale- Due to the Child Tax Credit messing me up, various items, some strange things. All as stated, good quality. Gonna be updated soon.
Jokes- Funnies, mostly sent to me by a 'friend at the bottom of the garden' : ) Rated 15. Probably.
Asylum - Very un-PC, tough!
Another site that's so good, (aviation mostly, someone's gonna get sacked for this...) the link is here. The ooops list.
Weather forcast in Stretford.

Search engines.

Google  My favourite.

Junk (snail) mail??

Telephone calls just when you sit down after a hard days' work?

Then register here, with MPS, and they SAY they'll kill it. I've done it, and I've got 90% less.

Register with TPS.  As above. Very good.

Genealogy

Some sites to get started with. It's a long and dedicated process, with no real 'correct way' to do it. Just read lots of FAQ's, and get on with it. You will never finish! Online English Names Research Directory   Genuki

Wrought Ironwork

P.A.B. Ironwork. Good for quality new gates & railings.

Want to know about batteries?

Go here. An American site, with a clear explanation of the things. Go here to buy 'em.

   

First Aid

A good place to visit for information. First Aid Cafe.

Bouncy Castles

Superslide Well priced inflatables, rent for home, or for fetes etc. Nice people to deal with.

Carpet cleaning

Billy Nugent, a local lad. No web site, but call him (0161 865 7839) for good priced, quality cleaning. All aspects (carpets, settees etc). Cars, too! Please mention me, when calling - you might even get a discount!

Misc

&

conspiracies

Bio degradable bin bags.

A British company add a chemical to the normal process of making them. Dependant on how much additive they put in, determines how long it will turn to CO2 and water, rather than lying around for 100 years, they last just months, or 6 years. I found them on sale in Safeways, but they're showing up more and more around the place. This needs to be put in all plastic. They're called Tuffy refuse sacks, and the wrapper looks like this.

Forgotten Russian cosmonauts, the real first man in space (no-one actually believes it was Yuri, do they?)

Bike size.

Ever wondered how to measure a bike? Go here and find out all you need to know.
