  1. Not one of them will do the stretch, they’ll be out in two at the most. Open prison or release on tag. It’s just a warning to the fanatics. Let them protest outside the Chinese, Indian or Brazilian embassy’s and I’d have some respect for them , but stopping hard pressed people going about their business ? Well, f**k ‘em ! You can be the “devils advocate” , the horse that kicks over the traces as much as you want, Wilf , but these c**ts keep pushing the envelope , it has to stop somewhere ! Cheers.
  2. The judge said they had crossed the line from being protesters to fanatics. I agree with nipping this in the bud. Protest is fair enough , I protested at the miners strike and the countryside march but we didn’t aim the protests at our own people. If these just stop oil people had chained themselves to Downing Street railings or glued themselves to Ministers cars I may have had some sympathy, or at least respect for them, but they are going about it the wrong way and alienating the people they need onside. Cheers.
  3. The semi final between Bully Boy and MVG is only a few legs in, but already has the making of a classic ! Cheers.
  4. Without googling it, he was found not guilty but there were several civil cases. I don’t know the outcomes, but he’s as much a hero of mine as Buzz Aldrin ! LOL ! Cheers.
  5. I got mine in Saudi , my daughter in law would have got my grandsons in either Saudi , Yemen or the Emirates. he’s got different ones for when they dress up for different National days at school. Historical dress for Yemen Day; Cheers.
  6. “ Jocks with our brains kicked in “ I’ve heard us called. I prefer to think Hadrian built the wall to keep the insanity north of the border ! Cheers.
  7. Now, now mate, we must respect everyone’s opinions……… unless it’s those troublemakers Tomo , Astanley and mChull. Bloody Bolsheviks ! Cheers.
  8. Whatever happened to the old credit card method that we old timers employed ? LOL ! Cheers.
  9. I’ve changed many of those; without specialist tools , just drill it out. Cheers.
  10. I could never compare myself to such a hero as Buzz Aldrin. As I continually tell you, I respect your opinions, some of them even make me think, but I don’t necessarily agree with all of them. I never mock you or your opinions, yes , I may poke a bit of gentle fun in your direction, but it’s just in jest. I’ve many Scot’s pals, so I know our humour isn’t always appreciated, either way, but we remain good pals. Chill out , mate, you have your opinions , I have mine, mutual respect is a good thing. Cheers.
  11. That should get the conspiracy theorists going. PMSL ! Cheers.
  12. Actually it’s the opening stanza from Tubular Bells ! Or Billy Joel’s helicopter intro to Saigon ! ”Live life as you’d wish to die “. Cheers.
  13. The rhinoceros horn handled ones are now almost impossible to find, and insanely expensive. Cheers.
  14. Sepuku; the way of the warrior ! Kanpai !
  15. You wouldn’t believe the number of caravans left at Appleby after the horse fair. No problem, they’ll just “chore” another one for next year . Cheers.
  16. And , of course, mine and my grandsons Jambiya’s; Cheers.
  17. Apart from my oriental “weapons of mass destruction “ the man cave is also well equipped with a supply of Swiss Army Knives ! LOL ! Cheers.
  18. Reminded me of when two lads I worked with in Saudi, one an ex RN Armourer, the other ex combat engineer, came into my office and ask if I could give them a box of black Hilti cartridges. I did and as they left I asked if they wanted the Hilti gun? They said no, they had built a pistol out of brass fittings and wanted the cartridges to fire ball bearings! They fired it once and the projectile went through the roof of the hanger ! I shut that bit of fun down rather quickly as we were on one of the busiest airports in the world !!!! Cheers.
  19. I’ve used a 12 bore with a .410 sleeve. Perfect for taking out a whole covey of partridge roosting on the ground at night with a lamp. Not very sporting, but effective! Cheers.
  20. I don’t know the gun laws here. Never had the need for a license, it was, and probably still is, the law that you can use someone else’s shotgun with their permission, which is what I’ve done on many occasions. And one especially for you, mate ! LOL ! In Australia and New Zealand I was out with .303’s, 30-06’s and shotguns loaded with slug. No one seem interested if I had a license or not ; Cheers.
  21. In Texas you can pick up an AR or AK with your groceries at the local Walmart with minimal background checks. You see ordinary citizens walking around with side arms on their waist, pickups with full gun racks parked up outside of bars. Ive never seen or heard of that gun culture in the U K. Cheers.
  22. Well thought of even amongst today’s players. A great coach as well as player. Cheers.
  23. Yes, you’re correct, I let things that were going on in my life get me into stupid arguments. It was easy, but wrong, to use THL to vent my feelings. I realised this and had a break from the various sites. Cheers.
  24. I’m sorry your threads been hijacked, Mo. Its good to see you back ! Cheers.
