  1. They aren’t legal tender. Cheers.
  2. He’s certainly got that “1,000 yard stare” ! Cheers.
  3. He should have just joined here …… Cheers.
  4. Done a little bit of that myself ; Great fun ! Cheers.
  5. I’m old enough to remember when the pubs and shops charged us one shilling in the pound to accept Scottish notes, and the club in the local village still has a sign today “ No Scottish £20 notes accepted “ ! Cheers.
  6. Don’t spend that all at once, mate ! Cheers.
  7. I am waiting for an excuse to be sardonic ! Cheers.
  8. I thought it was more rhetorical than pedantic , but maybe I’m just being pedantic ? Cheers.
  9. No conspiracy lads, it happens every year around this time in Arabia, I’ve seen it myself many times. I spoke to my daughter in law who lives in Saudi and has family in Dubai, she said it was just the seasonal rains. None of these places has street drainage and they get torrential rain for a few days a year and of course there’s floods but a few days later it’s gone. Sensational reporting by the media, if you look at the videos, there’s flooding on one side of a street and bone dry on the other . The kids used to love it when our compound flooded , we would tow them around
  10. I hate to be pedantic mate, but the Transport police and the Traffic police aren’t the same. They are both proper police, but different units, the Transport police deal mainly with the railways and maybe the airports. The Traffic police are the ones you see on the motorways. Theres also a little known unit called the Civil Nuclear Police who protect all nuclear facilities and the transport of nuclear materials. They are separate divisions but do sometimes cross over, when those Stop Oil fanatics sprayed red paint over the Ministry of Defence building recently, it was the Transport
  11. Does this mean we won’t get the 5th CL place ? Cheers.
  12. Just came up a slip road onto the A1 and there was a two car crash on the slip road. The traffic highway people were there in a Toyota Hilux pick up, one lad was directing traffic and putting cones out, the other was attending to people in the cars. Bit churlish, I think, to slag them off. Cheers.
  13. I remember when the police used Hillman Imps ; If I needed them in a hurry , I’d rather they were in a Volvo or a Discovery ! LOL ! Cheers.
  14. I think it needs to be taken in context, mate. Until recently Man U have been almost certainties to be in the top four, whereas until fairly recently Newcastle have been relegated twice and perennial struggler’s. So a top six finish for Newcastle will be considered progress for Newcastle , but a finish outside the top four for Man U will be considered failure. Its going to be very close between Man U , Newcastle, West Ham, (who have played one game more)and Chelsea , (who have played one game less). Newcastle have a far better goal difference than the others and appear, on pap
  15. Difference is I accept that Howe knows far more about football than I’ll ever know, I’m just a supporter. Slightly off topic, but not by much; yesterday my missus had a chat with Amanda Staveley while she waited for me to pick her up. I was gutted that I did not meet her, but probably just as well as I would have made a fool of myself congratulating her on what her and her partners have done for Newcastle and how she’s running rings around Mike Ashley ! Cheers.
  16. Yes, of course. I was just really suggesting a first team, as much as I think Miley and Anderson are great prospects they would be understudies to the midfield I mentioned. Cheets.
  17. What do you think of this for next season, just utilising what we already have ; Pope ( Dubravka). Trippier, ( Livramento) , Schar, Botman, Hall, (Burn). Tonali, Bruno, Joelinton. Barnes , Isak, Gordon. Buy a centre back, a defensive midfielder, and a centre forward, bring in those two young lads that are loaned out in Europe and I’d be happy. Cheers. Cheers.
  18. Seeing a big buck sail over a hedge in full flight is some sight ! It opened my eyes ! Cheers.
  19. I see more and more of them each year; they were released at a site just across the river from me and they must be breeding very successfully. The local pub there has even changed its name to “The Red Kite”. Cheers.
  20. I agree, we can’t post or discuss hunting now because because of the draconian punishments. I, too, have met and made a lot of friends on here, I wasn’t having a go at anyone, just giving my opinion on how these open hunting forums are hamstrung by the law, and how WhatsApp groups are safer, ( for now), for us to discuss our sport. Cheers.
  21. These are proxy wars mate, America wont get directly involved until it absolutely has to. Iran hasn’t got the capacity to launch hundreds of missiles every night but America will supply as many Patriot systems as Isreal needs for the Iron Shield , and has been said earlier, Isreal always has the ultimate deterrent and would use in in the face of an existential threat. Isreal took out the Iranian nuclear facility once before, putting their nuclear program back years, and would probably do it again. Im certainly no military strategist and haven’t a clue how this will pan out but I
  22. Over 330 ballistic missiles and drones launched; only 7 got through and injured one little girl ! Iron Dome seems very effective and evidently us the Americans , Jordanians and the Saudis shot down missiles fired by the Houthi in Yemen that didn’t make it as far as Isreal. Cheers.
  23. Its not technology, it’s attitudes and laws. The Hunting Act ruined open hunting forums like this, what’s the point of posting hunting stories and pictures if it will attract arrest and prosecution? Im on a couple of WhatsApp groups that have a dozen or so members who can post what we want and there’s none of the arguments and nonsense that you get on open forums. Its a shame that the general section attracts far more discussion than the lurcher section, but there’s probably more members on here now who are more interested in football, politics, conspiracies, etc than are interest
  24. Looks like a slow worm to me, Ray . Easy to find out; pick it up by its tail; if it sheds its tail, it’s a slow worm…if it bites you, it’s a snake ! LOL ! Cheers.
