Putting your kid in danger!!! I find this picture quite shocking, it's from a few years back where a couple put their girl on the balustrade of Tower Bridge in London, fcuking brain dead.

You're right, they are good eating. You can generally get fresh Roo steaks at the local supermarkets and butchers. Used to buy them for the BBQ.

I approached one some years back to try to get a photo. We were in a sanctuary and there were signs to keep to the paths as the Roo's can be a bit unpredictable sometimes. I spotted a big one kipping in the shade of a shrub and thought I would creep over and get a pic of it. Fcuking thing heard me and got up so I took a hurried shot and backtracked. Just after the photo it stood right up and showed it's chest, would like to have got a pic but was busy going backwards. He was impressive. Bit later, similar situation with a group of them, tried the same tactic but they all got up and I thou

I spoke to a lad about 4-5 years ago who used to work in Raymonds pie & mash shop in Eltham and asked him what ingredients went into the liquor. Flour, parsley and water. Said I thought it was eel water, he told me years ago it was but they had to stop using it in case someone had a fish allergy... So the liquor is WOKE ffs

Came across an old photo of Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Moore in the hotel in Hendon, where the England team stayed throughout the 1966 World Cup tournament. Looks a rather relaxed setup. Can you imagine Alf Ramsey's instructions for the day... "OK Greavsie, You sit there and puff your way through a pipeful of Condor Flake, and Bobby you sit there and have a doze for an hour."

Pay no heed to the fable of St George slaying the dragon, it did not happen. I know this because unwittingly I married said dragon and it is still very much alive. Happy St Georges Day lads..

Well I didn't get one on my old outdated pay as you go Nokia, I feel like an outcast..... The wife was happy that she got one, makes her feel popular, similar to answering the phone call scammers and cold callers.

Good call on the Umble PIe. I used to make them with pork liver, kidney and heart, but added Scotch Pie Seasoning and cooked them with a hand raised hot water crust pastry... food of the gods.

Hither Green, southeast London.

That pair of ploughs lived at my old depot about 20 odd years back. Of all the photo's I have of the old depot I could only find 1 pic showing the ploughs, and not a very good pic, you have to hunt to find them LOL. Incidentally, the photo shows the silhouette of Canary Wharfe being constructed in the distance, a far cry from the size it is today.

In 1955 Test Pilot Tex Johnson performed a 1G barrel roll in a Boeing 707. He was told not to do it again.

Got to agree with that, haggis, faggots etc, and a favourite of mine from the past hand raised offal pies, delicious...

Looks like he's got a good career lined up doing Specsavers adverts Greyman.?

Maybe all this squabbling and bickering could be sorted out in a more genial manner, Maybe a fish slapping dance for entertainment value?

Got to say I disagree with both of those generalisations, and I will explain why. When I walk my dog he wears a thick hide collar with a heavy duty brass loop and buckle, the lead is also thick hide with a heavy duty brass clip. When I bought these I also bought a harness made from the same materials. The harness was bought as a safety feature for when I transported the dog to various woods and open spaces. It is then attached to the seatbelt socket on the back seat. In the event of a crash the dog would be securely restrained, nobody wants a 50lb dog flying around the cab, if that collided wi

KD, if you like Crafty Countryman you'll like Mike Stinnett, he carves some fantastic sticks albeit a different style. https://www.youtube.com/c/StinnettStickStudio/videos

I believe that's some of the Multi Cultural Enrichment they've been banging on about for the last 40+ years.

They were used for various reasons, but as a member of traincrew I would have (and did) use them to protect the train if it had derailed or broken down. They would be laid at various distances from the train, with the furthest being 3 laid 20 yards apart. If a driver exploded 3 dets. they would bring the train to a stand. Also used singly to bring the drivers attention to an emergency speed restriction. The protection of engineering work sites etc.

When I learned about detonators back in 1972, the instructors used an acronym to remember the colours and years in order. RGGYBWO (Rosie Green Gave Young Bob W*nk Off). That was Red, Green, Grey, Yellow, Blue, White and Orange. We used to have to check them and replace if they were out of date. We used to lay about 10 close together in front of each of the locomotive wheels on the off-side, so about 40 in total, inside the locomotive shed, and the noise and length of bang was something to behold. Many a red faced angry driver would appear in the mess room trying to find the culprit.

You could try making your own, it's an easy process. I posted a 'how to' a few years ago... https://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/370174-making-dry-cured-bacon/?tab=comments#comment-4482076

Yes, it is a railway tool. It was used by platelayers when they used to tamp and level the track. It is all done by on track machines nowadays. The uneven track was initially detected using the human eye and sighting along a length of track, 2 metal flags were then clipped to the rail that needed adjustment. The ballast was dug out under the line to be adjusted and jacked up by hand. The curved pointy end was aimed under the sleeper to help support it and make a gap to hammer individual pieces of ballast under the sleeper to pack it to the required level. Either end of the tool could be used f

I went to see some bullfights back in 1974 in Alcudia, Majorca, and they were all young bulls. I must say I felt quite sorry for the bulls and was disappointed by it as a spectacle, it was a rather small affair with no real atmosphere which made me wonder what the fcuk it was all about TBH.

Good man Socks, well done. This is the kind of crap we were up against with my son... A mental health patient says he was discharged from hospital with "the rope he tried to hang himself with" just three days before. Daniel Durrant, 40, was admitted to the Shrewsbury Ward at Oxleas House, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, on July 30 after he was found with a rope around his neck on a bridge over the A2 in Charlton. Police were called when members of the public saw him on the wrong side of the barrier tying rope to the railings. Officers were a
