While I see where you're coming from Wilf. But life was not exactly a bed of roses in the past. I'm in my 70's worked hard manually all my life. As a kid we had f**k all, none of the luxuries of today in comparison coal fire only heating, no double glazing hot water if you could afford to put the emersion on. Sent to the shop to get one razor blade for the old man, borrow a cup of sugar from next door. No car rented black and white TV, sitting in candle light because no money for the meter. Gran still had gas lights no electric and outside loo with news paper hanging on string. I climbed

Funny I was yapping to my lad when n Saturday, hes 18 finishing his A levels in a few months in Biology and Chemistry plus a music production course..we got taking about university/jobs future plans etc... he's a bright lad and got his head screwed on, he said to me only one of his friendship group has gone into a trade (bricklaying), the rest are all going to Uni. His words were over half of them 20 years ago would've gone into a trade, they aren't super clever and the courses they are doing leaf to bog standard jobs and a pile of debt. I'm all for education but I agree with him, it's almost

My lads 15 and not keen on school, he. Ones with me sometimes but I’m not pushing him into the construction, yes you can earn a bit but it also can go wrong , lots of risk doing foundations, brickwork etc. and you have no private heath care, pension money, holiday / sick pay , bonuses etc. my daughter 25 yrs old earns over 55,000 got privat hospitals locking after her, works when she wants.I’m seriously fuming with this govt, they tax you on everything effing thing you do. And when your dead they rape you bad once again. Shocking and I can’t see how they are getting away with it. I’ve no prob

S E Cs on a plate..

Our kid did the Marathon today in full drag to raise awareness and money for Scope (disability charity). He completed the whole thing in 4hrs 51mins… Fuucking legend raised 30k for the charity. Very proud of him

FUMING!!! I've just been asked by a group of kids outside tesco if I would get them 20 Richmonds. Stupidly I did and got them a packet, handed them over and you should have seen the abuse I got off them after it!! Cheeky little B******s Told them next time you can get your own f**king sausages!!!!!

I was chatting this morning and said I wonder how long people will stand keep being taken from ? Surely there has to come a point where this is just no more left to take ? I worked for myself nearly all my working life, worked very hard if I do say so myself and do you know what, I genuinely wouldn’t bother to start a business today if I was young again and just starting out……I just can’t see as it’s worth the hassle for the return ? Government's have engineered society so that the only lending banks do really is mortgages, those numbers are getting bigger and bigger but the tro

I think when Trump wins it won’t be a question of being isolationist, I just think he understands the importance of the nation state getting its priorities correct. America has answered the call to friendly nations way before globalism, before this modern breed of politicians sold us all out to China and corporations. Some of your towns and city’s are mirror images of our towns and city’s, once great thriving places with pride, industry, community now sadly just wreckage……I don’t think there’s anything isolationist about wanting to see that restored…..MAGA as the buzz phrase calls it

Spicy potato and chorizo...

I'm not on Facebook but I often get told about the Americans with terriers arguing and self promoting.I just wanted to take time to give credit to a few real American Terriermen.Few months back I made an all day drive to pick up a pup from a man.No fancy names.Just a man who bred for what he needed.He gifted me a pup,took me hunting with his sire.Then gifted me a pieps locator,custom hunting knife,terrierbox and his library of terrier books. 8 years ago I was digging in tobacco country with some people who had a nice pair of coon tongs.I told the folks how much I liked their

I started out at 14 selling dusters and dishcloths and stuff like that door to door for myself, topped it up with labouring for builders etc. Went on the building site at 16 and did that until I was about 21, taught myself how to plaster and render and dry line and metal stud, do brick and block work to a very basic standard. Worked market stalls and all sorts until I fell into what I ended up doing. The over riding thing was that everyone could keep a bit for themselves, they could have a few readies, they could form a limited company and pay themselves, they could have a moto

Been out coil to the soil came back bloody peckish so knocked up bit of scram. Cheers Arry

Pulled pork on the go

Is the blonde one your sister? She's well fit

Just found this video and know that you hunt both remarkable creatures them otters

Good to hear you speak well of an old Pal,....most of my hunting partners have also gone to ground,...I expect it will soon be my turn to lay quietly under the cold turf.... However, as long as we are in the land of the living, we should always award our true friends with the honour they deserve,....its only right and proper.....

Good on them mate, that's great going for such young adults.. you must be really proud and rightly so. I guess I think there is opportunities for anyone with the right work ethic and if you want to step up your earnings then you need to take right amount of risk. The really wealthy people I know personally are entrepreneurial and extremely driven only one of them I can think of went to Uni, he worked for F1 for a bit and set up a very successful security camera/sensor business where they designed and installed security systems sold the company for a song and set up a clever scanning booth

Thanks for sharing.Coons are a tough opponent for a terrier but as you can see otters have supernatural strength.Its no coincidence that the otter has the coon by the one spot where the coon can't do much.Otters are smart and they truly enjoy inflicting pain on an enemy of similar size,Be it a coon,snapping turtle or terrier. In my humble opinion the otter was gonna kill the coon and rape his dead body as otters enjoy such things.

Tape measures

Macrons just doing something to make him popular, he’s about to loose an election to the far right lol and nothing does more for a politicians street cred than going to war , just the script has changed now and most of us see through it after the shit show in the Middle East caused by bush and Blair

Haven't heard Our blackbirds mimic, just sing brilliantly of an evening, love it. Starlings round here have bits of duck and buzzard mixed into there song, and for as long as I can remember they've called like curlews. Red kites are rare, just the odd one seen

Sure I've heard starlings doing bite alarm sounds

When the terrorists did the Bataclan massacre in Paris the go to lads to arrive on the scene were British SAS troopers !……..that probably tells you all you need to know.

I don’t know where this information is coming from but from a European prospective everything centres around the European Union and the big boy in the room is Germany, Germany rules the roost. Without the United States there is no NATO and if there is no NATO then everything will be worked along EU lines and that means Germany is in charge. From a military point of view the premier fighting force in Europe is Britain but we are no longer a member of the EU.

But no olives sadly,they would have added a bit of zing to the food.

Ah, Biden is pretty much doing exactly what Trump started. Most of what you hear to the contrary is just political rhetoric. Well, we have to look at this in as exact an order as we can. The US was hesitant to get involved in either of the world wars. After WWII, we were staring across the field at a huge soviet army. Everything you mention in your post were tools we used to protect ourselves from that army. That army is gone, and nukes aside. Russia appears to be a paper tiger. So, we don't need those tools anymore. Like you say, we have tremendous infrastructure concerns that have to

We milk them and eat the kids. Wife doesn't like pork or else I'd do a couple of pigs . Used to keep Dexter cows but got out of them last year.

You just don't get it at this point in time unless you are loaded you are fecked.

Had my first boat up there was moored at Goytre wharf lovely part of the world

Thing is mate i am hitting targets when having a few shots practicing. On a positive note i backtracked my walk i had yesterday this morning and found my wasp wolf.

Got 40/1 from an exchange place.

I’d be in the first pub saying “fuuck this for a laugh I gonna spectate from this point on” He did it with and I emphasise with very minimal road training. He relied solely on his years of dancing ffs lol

Very nice
