Chulla 4,946 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 #1832 I know how the Enigma coding machine works, and am quite au fait with the German Geheimschreiber machine, but have not yet fathomed what IIRC means. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 #1823 Commo, In the 60s I used to love the Needlers Maltona Drops. I used to buy them from one of our Nottstalgians Basalways Paper Shop in Carlton. The nearest I get to them these days is Werthers, but no comparison really, Lacking the Malty Flavour. They must have lost their popularity, just a fond memory for us Maltona Fans! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Chulla, re #1834, took me a while to wonder why so many on here kept referring to the Ilfracombe Independent Rugby Club 'till I realised it was text speak for "If I recall Correctly", at least I think that's what it means !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
