  1. No, I don’t call the mods in general. I wasn’t happy that Nicepix seemed to be bullying two members and when they gave him some back, he suspended them. He wanted to hunt with hounds and run with the fox ! The clue is in the name”moderator” . I have never said a word against the likes of Walshie or Bosun . I’ve been a moderate on other sites and found that to do the job correctly you can’t have forcefull opinions or take sides, and certainly not abuse the powers being a mod gives you, which, in my mind, Nicepix did. so, I’ll decline your offer of a mods job, and continu
  2. When does an electric bicycle become an electric motor bike ? I tried on line to see what needed a cbt, license, insurance, etc , and what didn’t, but couldn’t really make sense of it. Cheers.
  3. Nicepix was a terrible moderator. He bullied a couple of lads and when they gave him some back he suspended them. Thats not how mods are supposed to operate. Cheers.
  4. Is anyone moderating the site ? Wheres Bosun ? Cheers.
  5. There was some mad lefty woman on the news this morning saying we should give the Elgin Marbles back to Greece “ to atone for our imperial past” ! When did we colonise Greece? As far as I know, we freed them from the Ottoman Empire during the fist world war, and freed them from nazi occupation during the Second World War ! The sad thing is, no one tried to put her right. They are rewriting history and no one is fighting back…. Cheers.
  6. My son went around various British Embassies; Australia, South Africa, India, etc, teaching the visa staff about the new biometric passports. He got "Delhi belly" so bad in India, he told his bosses if they ever tried to send him there again, he would resign ! Cheers.
  7. My missus was World ranked in women's darts back in the 80's. She played mixed doubles with some of the worlds best; Didn't the council name a road after Rees ? Cheers.
  8. The two best players in the world, at the moment, are playing in the final of The Players Championship, and Van Gerwin has just hit a nine darter to lead Luke Humphries 3-2 at the break. Darts at its very best ! Cheers.
  9. The Israeli government are pissed off at the paki puff ! He’s said of the little Israeli/ irish bairn that was kidnapped by Hamas “ she was lost, but has now been found.” 'Maybe you have lost your moral compass': Fury at Ireland PM Leo Varadkar as he's accused of 'legitimising and normalising terror' after saying freed hostage Emily Hands was 'lost' and 'has now been found' | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Freed hostage Emily Hand was at the centre of a diplomatic bust up between the Israel foreign minister and the...

  10. No, mate, that’s Alex Murphy, 19 year old. Came off the bench last night for Miggy Almiron and did well. The two Miley brothers that play for Newcastle are English, We’ve got some good home grown talent coming through the Academy and have invested big money for promising youngsters and sent them straight out on loan, there’s one doing well for Ajax. My neighbours son Max Thompson , Is a good goalkeeper and has played England youth and under 18’s has been sent to Northampton to get game time. Cheers.
  11. Newcastles 17 year old Miley had a good game yesterday against Chelsea. Cheers.
  12. Nowt wrong with pigeon ! Cheers.
  13. It’s reckoned the vast majority of people working in “Indian” restaurants are Bangladeshi. Cheers.
  14. My local pub, Curry and a pint £7:99 Us pensioners have to take care of the penny’s ! Cheers.
  15. Two quid tip is a bit mean though ! LOL ! Cheers.
  16. Well, you can spend a billion on players, but that doesn’t buy you heart and commitment ! Newcastle 4 , Chelsea 1…. Cheers.
  17. I’ll try to explain it this way; You have a company that employs ten people. They produce £100 of goods per week each.That’s a COMPANY GDP of £1,000 and an EMPLOYEE GDP of £100 each. You then employ a further ten immigrants, five semi skilled and five labourers. Your COMPANY GDP then rises to £1,500; a rise of 50%, but your EMPOLYEE GDP drops to £750 each. So, on the books, your company looks very profitable, but your average employee wage drops by 25% ! Transpose that to the whole country, and the GDP is bigger, but wages are lower . Cheers.
  18. The more people in the country, even if only a small percentage are actually contributing , adds to GDP and “growth”. It may add to overall growth and GDP but reduces per capita GDP , so the working person is less well off but the government’s books look good. Its all smoke and mirrors, what’s wrong with static growth, no inflation and steady wages ? Immigration allows for lower wages, more tax income and bigger profits for employers. Cheers.
  19. Another little tale about another cockney ex RN comms tech I worked with. We were contracted to the Royal Saudi Airforce as instructors at the Air Defence underground bunker just outside of Riyadh. We were bussed in every day on the shift bus and the guard would check our “red, all areas passes”, but they would give this particular cockney a hard time, as, admittedly, he was a bit of a racist. One night shift, the cockney lad went up top for a smoke and noticed the guard was asleep and his weapon unattended ! The cockney crept up, stripped the weapon and laid it out at the
  20. I remember Xmas parties in Thailand in November, those Buddhists sure throw a great Xmas party ! LOL ! Cheers.
  21. “Caricature” of a typical cockney isn’t the same as typical cockney. I’ve met loads of cockneys I’ve gotten on very well with. Just like the Welsh lads , jocks, paddy’s and just about every other regional or national people I’ve met. Working in foreign lands is a great leveller and you learn a lot about people you depend on. Stereotypes arn’t for me. I take people as I find them. Cheers.
  22. Far too soon ! The man should be thrashed with the spindly excuse for a Christmas tree in the picture! Cheers.
  23. I was stationed out in the desert one time and there were, supprisingly, a few ex RN lads, mainly comms types. Anyhow one was a caricature of a typical cockney but a good lad. We we’re on leave at the same time and he phoned to see if he could come up to Newcastle and have a drink with me. I said of course and told him my local pub. I went in the night I was supposed to meet him and the barman told me some cockney spiv in a trench coat who looked like special branch had been in asking about me, but don’t worry, we said we never heard of you and f****d the c**t off ! Put him rig
