“I have my principles !!!….but if you don’t like them, I have others”. Groucho Mark. Cheers.

“Power corrupts; absolute power absolutely corrupts “. Richard Littlejohn. Cheers.

Whenever I read his 'sage-like' posts, they bring a mixture of empathy and sympathy to me, and a grin to my face! Lol 'Chuckles' the sage, is certainly a character! Lol.

He's not going to be sleeping so cosy.. He"s just got 5 years for criminal conspiracy.... receiving millions of Euros from Gaddafi. He's already been done for bribing a judge. Whoever would have thought it? A corrupt politician.

I would love that to happen. Members of Joe Public who are known to be fair, decent people should be 'conscripted ' as MPs for 5 years. They do exist. They would make a lot better job of it. There would be a reasonable salary, reasonable expenses, but no kickbacks either during or after their stint in parliament. As others have said, its a fundamentally flawed where somebody puts themselves forward for power. It attracts the wrong type.

I could have gone my whole life and never needed to read that description ! lol

There’s an old saying Dan; “ when America sneezes, the world catches a cold”.. Sadly we are not a world power anymore, successive governments have been carrying out what is known as “ managed decline”, without telling us. Trump has proved how powerful the USA is by the way they are the only country in the world that can hold countries to ransom by using tariffs! He could ruin our steel and motor industries or make them profitable by simply increasing or reducing tariffs. Thats the sad state successive British governments have allowed the Uk to drift into since the ‘50’s.

Whether we like it or not mate, he is the POTUS and that means when he says something the whole world takes notice !……they have to ! It’s why him designating ANTIFA is a big deal, when America designates someone then that’s them done in the world, like totally !…..not just them but anyone who deals with them, their bank, their plumber, the bloke who cleans their windows….everyone !…….they are persona non grata to the entire planet. Only America has that power…..that’s why the POTUS gets to tell the world what’s what. Take the UN who he addressed the other day, he can stand

Hey up, now look, it isn't the job of a foreigner sort owd blithering blighty out is it, it' I say is it eh, no, it's our own starmer , and governments afore him stop playing silly buggers, and what about sausage mawlers, suitcases of spondulips, from foreigners , I've given.midden.headache typing today, I'm.gonna take a couple of Tylenol, ta ta fer now chaps,

Aye but as soon as Joe public got picked and started getting a few backhanders to let stuff slide then we'd be back at square one .

He's the President of America...he don't run this shithole we all call home ...I don't get why you all think,he's going to turn our fortunes around? It's time the current crop of politicians/MP's and everyone else in government,is f****d off...and we start from scratch picking the new members from Joe Public....that's the only folks who got our real interests at heart....every cnut else is in it for the money and imaginary power

That's before you factor in the entertainment aspect.

Trouble with co codamol is it numbs my intestine too.I have to have a crap with the help of a suction tube and pickaxe, plus a hammer and chisel, followed up by Dyno Rod colonic irrigation . Not worth it for me.I'd rather have the pain.

I like the idea but some people might get upset seeing their old mum being gutted by vultures. The coppers might not like human bones being scattered around the place too.

Sky burials??? More like ;chuck em in a field burials.

I saw one just outside Lhasa (the place of the gods) the Tibetan capital years ago,I also went up to a sky burial sight a few years back in Bhutan a few days after a burial but there wasn't even a scrap of bone left,vultures had done a good job.

Last day with these tomorrow, then pastures new...

Same here,real outdoor culture,theres schools that rear trout for release as part of the fishing program,and places like nunavut I know a guy works at larga baffin whose son did a hunter education type youth program that hunted caribou with the teacher.

Again I agree. It's not about being pro or anti trump.....it's that he's our best option. And a lot of the accusations about trump could be laid at the Clintons ten fold and the fact that they aren't again says more about the brain washing of the left than anything trump is guilty of

When we just got on with it !…….was there ever a phrase that encapsulated the traditional British mentality so well as “Just get on with it” !

Some Nordic country’s have forest school and being out in nature is integrated into the curriculum

On a job with a some rope access techs a few years ago, couple of them trying to ‘out danger’ each other telling of the various bridges, masts etc. they’d working on. I showed them that video with Dibnah swinging about in the wind at the top of a 200’ chimney in a bosun’s chair.., not a safety harness or ‘two points of attachment’ in sight. We bred men different in those days, granted a few had the ‘half a day out with the undertaker’ but removing the risk from everything dulls the wits and creates complacency. That’s the price I suppose.

He is, but he is the nearest we have to pond weed that is even vaguely on our side. jmho of course

Seen a couple of the Gerry Cinnamon ones, Americans are on a different planet so not sure it even registers the same. I’m not even a fan of him but watching him on TV at TRNSMT a few years ago is maybe as jealous as I’ll get of the young ones today. Taps aff getting mad with it in the sunshine with all your mates singing “here we, here we, here we fcking go”!

Most unbelievable part of this is that flats in Murton are now £60k i remember going there to view a two bed terrace that was £15k.
