  1. Perhaps I should have said “ the money is going to enhance the advancement of China rather than boost the UK’s tax revenues” ? Cheers.
  2. As we are talking restaurants and Chinese; two days ago I was in China Town in Newcastle and went into a restaurant that had been recommended. We were greeted by a waitress with the words “cash only, cash only” ! When she showed us to our table, I thanked her in Mandarin,(only one word, no big deal), as she walked away I’m sure she cursed me in Han Chinese ! LOL ! The food was excellent and very cheap, the place was Spartan, full of older Chinese people and the hygiene rating was “needs improvement “. Still, we enjoyed our meals, but I’m guessing that the vast majority of t
  3. Probably not in MY time ! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. To be fair, he was a good old warrior and I was hoping to breed from him, but the day he got too close to my face sealed his fate, the ungrateful b*****d ! Cheers.
  5. My dad used to eat gulls eggs, you could buy them in the Grainger market….. probably illegal now. I boiled up a badger ham once, but the smell and the grey scum put even me off from eating it. I know squirrel became very fashionable in restaurants a few years back, but I think of them as tree rats. I eat just about everything I catch and when a huge old fighting bird I took pity on when his career came to an end because he lost an eye, he went into the pot when he got too manny. Cheers.
  6. I watched the darts last night and genuinely think that Luke Littler could be as good as Phil Taylor. Im watching O’Sullivan playing snooker right now and he’s playing as well as he has ever done and is undoubtedly the greatest of all time , and wondering if anyone is in the pipeline to better him ? Cheers.
  7. No, I gave him a scornful look and walked off trying to affect a look of haughty superiority. I find it’s not too sensible to upset a butcher in a bloodied apron with a cleaver in his hand. Cheers.
  8. A few year ago squirrel was the fad and they were selling in the same market for £7:99 and rabbits were £4:99. Yesterday there wasn’t a squirrel in sight, or venison. The last game dealer in the Grainger market, Kettlewells , is long gone, and the butcher that sold “exotic” meats like kangaroo, alligator, wild boar, is now a “bubble tea “ shop, whatever the hell that is ? I called into Findlays butchers, where I used to get as many lamb ribs and neck bones as I could carry for free……now they want £2 for a very small bag. A wave of nostalgia came over me and I traipsed off very di
  9. Rabbits are the new venison lads ! Was in Newcastles Grainger market yesterday and rabbits are selling for £10:99 each !!!!! Need to get myself a nice little rabbiting dog ! LOL ! Cheers.
  10. The US Marines love the Harrier. They can set up a metal mesh take off/landing pad in minutes for carrier based Harriers. The Harrier, in my mind, was ahead of its time, I don’t know why we don’t still use them. Cheers.
  11. I refer you to my point “ IF it’s a choice between two b*****ds, then I’d chose the least b*****d of the two b*****ds”. The yanks have a Presidential system, they can, in the end, only chose between two candidates to be President. We, on the other hand , DO NOT vote for a Prime Minister. We vote for a party, and the party with the most votes and seats choose an MP of their party to form a government and become PM, we have no say in who becomes our PM as has become blatantly obvious by Truss and Sunak becoming PM’s. First past the post is terrible, the LibDems and the SNP got far more
  12. I’m ecstatic that I’m slowly drawing you into my sphere of influence young man ! No matter what others say, I still have faith in you ! Cheers.
  13. Well, as a “far right, reactionary populist “, ( as our left leaning main stream media would label me), I’d prefer, if it was a straight choice between Biden who hates the UK, and Trump who likes us, then it would be Trump all day . They are all corrupt b*****ds, but I’d go for the least corrupt b*****d if it was my only choice. Biden Is geriatric, yes he’s only a few years older than Trump, but at least Trump has still got his faculties, wether you agree with him or not, but Biden isn’t fully compis mentis and is being manipulated. Trump won’t ditch NATO, he simply wants the Eu
  14. I though plague victims were buried separately ? A few hundred yards from my house is a very small group of houses built on the site of a cholera hospital, on the aptly named Hospital Lane. The cholera victims are all buried in unmarked graves on the other side of the A69 on the same field as an Iron Age burial site, I don’t know if there’s any connection between the two Cheers.
  15. I thought it was a symbol of the sun or eternity, I didn’t look it up but I am going to now ! LOL ! Cheers.
  16. On Holy Island, Lindisfarne, there are some headstones with skull and crossbones; they are Freemasons graves. Cheers.
  17. It’s an Ozzy stag hound. Just pics I’ve pulled from the Boar dogs site. Cheers
  18. Retaliation for Iran firing a missile at Pakistan the other day, evidently. Pakistan launches retaliatory strikes into Iran - BBC News WWW.BBC.COM Nine people are reported to have been killed in the strikes, which come after Iran hit targets in... Cheers.
  19. To be honest, I don’t know if it’s hereditary in the dogs or taught. I’m not sure how you would teach a dog to ear hold…..I have enough trouble teaching them to retrieve! LOL ! Cheers.
  20. I’m not saying it’s the best way, I’m just amazed how so many of their dogs instinctively go for an ear hold. Cheers.
  21. I’ve marvelled at how the Ozzy and NZ dogs seem to instinctively go for an ear hold, wether it be deer, pig, goat; Cheers.
  22. Quick and easy; marinated pork strips, stir fried with red and green peppers and onion; Served in a tortilla wrap with sriracha and mayo; Cheers.
  23. To quote the great Groucho; “ I wouldn’t want to join any club that would have someone like me as a member”…… Cheers.
