  1. My sons pith helmet from his time with the British Embassy in South Africa; No, he didn’t wear it for work, LOL , it was just a souvenir. Now hangs in my man cave .Cheers.
  2. Or imagine striking miners or people protesting the hunting act being charged by mounted police breaking heads with batons ! But no need to imagine, it actually happened , but we were just white, working class lads trying to protect our ways of life, working and sporting. Cheers.
  3. Just watched that 16 year old kid destroy Barney and move into the quarter finals. Hes guaranteed £50,000 now and with a 105 average, if he can keep it up, he could go all the way ! Cheers.

  5. I’m old enough to remember when Guinness and Mackeson was considered good for you ! LOL ! Cheers.
  6. And they wear little silver facsimiles of the instrument of torture that was used to kill the person that was either the god, or his son, or possibly they are the same person, if you believe the Council of Nicaea, they worship. Amen.
  7. Egypt is a shithole. Fine if you are desperate to see the pyramids and the sphinx or a dhow trip down the Nile, but be prepared to be ripped off, pestered by beggars or get dysentery! My daughter in laws family have property in Saudi, Egypt, Dubai and Turkey; I can go for a visit to any of them, my preferences , in order, would be Dubai, Saudi, Turkey and Egypt a distant fourth . Cheers.
  8. Funny you should mention that ! Two of my neighbours ave just had gutters, drainpipes, soffits and facials done. one squad done it all from ladders, the other had full on scaffolding done on the same houses. The scaffold squad used cordless tools, the other lads used hand tools. I asked the neighbours what it cost, under the pretext of having my house done; the ladder lads were about a grand cheaper ! Cheers.
  9. Good man ! Get out when you feel like it , no when the conditions dictate ! Cheers.
  10. It’s amazing how many “dog men “ complain about the ground ; too hard, to soft, to wet, to cold, to hot. Lampers complaining it’s not windy enough, there’s no wind or cloud, the moons up ! Just get out and give your dogs a run ! FFS ! Cheers.
  11. Howe hasn’t lost the players, and possibly just as important, the supporters. The owners aren’t stupid, if they sack Howe now, they risk losing both and any new manager coming in would be in a difficult position. If we lose the next three games, Liverpool, Sunderland and Aston Villa, the crowd could turn on Howe and that would give the owners the excuse to go for Morinhio who appears to be waiting in the wings. It might come down to who we buy in January, but not one supporter I know wants Kalvin Philips, the opinion is if he can’t get a game for City, why should we break the wa
  12. Retired at 51 twenty years ago. Came home from abroad and got a couple of allotments and some hens, ducks and quail. Spend a lot of my time out with the dogs or at the allotments. Why on earth work till your an old man and to old to enjoy what’s left of your life ? Cheers.
  13. I think I mentioned this before; I was going hunting in Victoria and I asked the lads what I should bring. They said just bring a slab of beer. I said Fosters ? They weren’t to happy. They said nobody here drinks that rubbish, bring VB ! Fox hunting in Oz; one man digging; for men standing around watching and drinking VB ! Cheers.
  14. I think you are reading my post wrong. Cheers.
  15. They are only ugly if they are also useless; otherwise it's handsome is, as handsome does........ Cheers.
  16. You must have missed “Eric The Eel”; Eric Moussambani - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Cheers.
  17. Just watched “Taken” again , for the umpteenth time, but it’s still a great action movie. Last night I watched “Die Hard “ again, another classic action movie. Cheers.
  18. I’ve ran hares all over the UK , and a few places around the world, let’s be honest, you get good ‘uns and bad ‘uns everywhere! Young ‘uns that are as green as the grass they are running on, and old ‘uns near the end of their lives, and the ones in the prime of their lives that test the very best of dogs ! A dog man knows when he has a “hare dog” or just a dog that can catch a hare. Daytime is infinitely different to lamping; I’ve caught five on one field on the lamp in winter with a ten year old deerhound cross that wouldn’t have caught one or two during the day. If hare c
  19. As the Scots might say; “some things are beyond our ken “……. Cheers.
  20. I wouldn’t mind a copy of that or his other drone painting for my man cave; Doubtless some entrepreneur will start producing them ! Cheers.
  21. it can’t be as bad as those plumbers that have let me down ! If it is, cull the c**t ! LOL ! Cheers.
  22. To be fair, it was the only collie/grey I’ve had, and the saying “couldn’t catch a rabbit in a ‘phone box” could have been written for it. It was that bad I can’t even remember it’s name or what happened to it ! But I have seen a few decent ones, including, believe it or not, Hancock bred ! Cheers.
