People have said to me “ why bother, a tin of peas is 30p, eggs £2 a dozen from the supermarkets. My reply is “ I get dozens of bags of peas from a 30p packet of seeds, my veggies are organic without the additional price, I use my own compost, no chemicals, no weed killer, every weed is ho’ed or hand pulled and I can have veggies on my plate half an hour from picking them, they are not flown in from all over the world” ! My eggs are from hens I’ve bred myself, they are free range and fed on organic layers pellets and home made mash , the culls when they stop laying are “recycled “ as

Beef rib.

I used to love saying with my Gran but she only had one cold tap in the house potties under every bed and a jug of water and bowl in the bed rooms. Toilet was right up a steep garden and was more like a porcelain funnel than toilets now with a big square wood seat. News paper squares hung off the back of the door on that old fluffy string and a roll of that tracing paper toilet paper. The door was six inches short at the bottom and a bigger gap at the top was horrible on a cold windy day. Lol still have really good memories of the best Gran ever that cooked the best fry ups and cakes. Her

A home grown new potato you can cook in no time. Ones from the shop you can boil fookers for week still hard was looking at me old pics times of plenty for sure. Makes me mouth water looking at it

Didn’t go into town today,just time for a cheeky lunchtime Nando’s.

Fair play to her wilf seems like she's got her head screwed on, to many trying to keep up with the Jones, new build house 2 fresh cars on the driveway but an empty fridge and sitting in the cold in the winter. How anyone thinks that's living is beyond me but there's plenty living that way.

On the subject of “being poorer” my oldest daughter just recently bought her first house, beautiful little 3 bed place with all the bells and whistles in a very, very nice part on the outskirts of Belfast……she f***ing hates it ! On the face she has everything the world tells you that you are meant to have, she earns nearly 60k a year and her partner similar, they both work from home……she came home last week and said “Dad, this is shite !…..I’m just shovelling all my money to some other prick, can’t get a doctor, can’t get my bins emptied, bills for this, bills for that……..I want to sell t

Bass caught this afternoon. Bit of pig with fillet could done two meals but I battled through mullet during week

Can't be no worse than this, a Paki with a prayer mat

Just binge watched the first series, again, brilliant, series 2 tomorrow.

Plough mans tonight. Cheers Arry

Thanks Wilf, and other folks. Yes I trying mate, it is hard on your own. More so at my age. But I just take one day at a time, and your right, and few other good lads on here, that having the old dogs about does help when you feel bit sad old Buck and little woody have helped, little woody follows me about. I swear they can tell things have changed deff. I give Buck some veg and gravy last night, he loved that, took to him by his kennel, bloody clocks it, I close the door on him lol yeh getting better cooking a bit now , I have to or starve lol. Yeh thanks again folks, it does help lads.

Yep as annoying as these folk are 5 years for protesting something is a f***ing liberty....

my lads getting amongst them now

Get the bacon sandwiches on

Hes still young...my bitch is bred the same way...she was the same until she got some fur in her mouth

Just changed a couple of locks for a bloke,quick job.

I'm doing quite well with the sps and single tubes.

Cant be bothered to yack about the other stuff anymore so I may as well yack about climate change seeing as I don’t have an exam to my name and can’t do joined up writing! Lol I think the planet probably is warming up, I thinks it’s accepted because it always has…..the argument has to be about the rate it’s doing it at and it probably is faster than expected. Thats what happens when you keep artificially supporting populations who can’t support themselves, cut everything down and concrete over it and abuse everything……my view is that people diesel car is just a fragment of a much big

Brilliant I like him already..lol

Wouldn't want to be in a mini shelter with a man who has a thousand tin of beans

That's what I came into this morning

There’s a surreal correlation between outrage and apathy in this country. People are outraged at the amount of legal and illegal immigration and the state of the NHS. Yet yesterday. Starmer was on Tv announcing that he is giving £84 million , over and above the “aid budget” to Africa, while his Health Secretary was on Tv saying they couldn’t afford to give the nurses a pay rise ! The reaction ? Apathy ! Why aren’t people screaming that the £84 million should go towards more nurses and not to some corrupt African despot to buy a fleet of Mercs or private jets ? Cheers.

I had just about the same yesterday, but cheese & mushroom coating on the pork, beautiful.

Also known as tracing paper, I used to run home for a turd rather than face that stuff!

James Bond ? More like Basildon Bond ! Cheers.

Could Hilary take a short break from eating and sexually abusing children to challenge Rasputin, sorry Trump? Nah, loser. Kamala Harris is not up to it imo. No charisma. It was a big step to have a mixed race president. A woman of mixed race? No chance. Bernie Saunders? Could we get a genuinely left leaning, trade union advocate whose focus would be to pass laws like universal health coverage and protection for the environment? Who promises to represent Joe Public? Too dangerous. Nah, not the American way. The Democrats could put Jesus up as their candidate, but the American

Last sign ...pop back and restain the posts...should last a few more yrs then

Theres the right to protest, yes, then theres these wankers who just think its ok to block public roads, stop people from getting to work to pay their bills, you know the type, the loony left greenies, they peotest against oil yet came down on public transport fuelled by the oil industry, the greta turdburg scare tactics type, the cwis packham type that can label you everything and get you cancelled and shut down, yet never face the music they create? Nah the time for revenge is here

A scene from the Revenant?

Munjack neck stew..
