  1. "Hadah hubz quais".......or words to that effect ?? Cheers
  2. South Shields ! I spent a bit of time at the Marine College there . They are called "sand dancers" , evidently because a lot of Yemeni Arab seamen settled there one time. Strange place, not really sure if they are Geordies or Mackems. Cheers.
  3. You could have added ; in the 2020's they were skateboarding with green protesters, taking the knee with BLM, asking eco fanatics if they were comfortable and did they need anything as they glued themselves to roads blocking people from going about their business and stopping ambulances taking dying people to hospital, or watching on as environment protestors block fuel depots....... Cheers.
  4. I knew an Ethiopian labourer who spoke Aramaic, Arabic, English and Italian. A fiancé of my son spoke English, Arabic, Xhosa, Afrikaans and German, she was a diplomat. Kinda shows that learning languages can be a gift, no matter what your background. Cheers.
  5. Just what any small scale poultry keeper needs just now , with the bird flu regulations ? Cheers.
  6. As a military man, I'd of thought learning Russian or Arabic would be good for career advancement ? Cheers.
  7. Labour politicians, Common Purpose indoctrinated police chiefs and left wing, liberal social workers deliberately turned a blind eye to industrial scale abuse of white children so as not to cause "racial tension" or be accused of islamaphobia......... Simple as that really. Cheers.
  8. Letteralmente per carvasela ? Cheers.
  9. I spent 26 years learning Arabic, but still speak it like Borat speaks English ! ? ! Cheers.
  10. Have you ever thought that Russia hasn't got the up to date, state of the art military infrastructure that the west has, because the politicians and oligarchs have raped Russia of its money and resources ? Have you ever thought that the west has consistently and deliberately overestimated the Russian military capability simply to justify their own military expenditure ? Russias navy is mainly archaic, the last time it's coal fired aircraft carrier sailed through the channel it broke down and had to be towed home ! Hardly the blue water force the west, (US and Uk) has at its dis
  11. Surely it was Russia that pulled out of the Minsk Agreement when the Russian Duma voted to recognise Luhansk and Donetsk as independent republics and Putin stated "the Minsk Agreement no longer exists" ? Cheers.
  12. You can take the Mackem out of Sunderland.......but you'll never take Sunderland out of a Mackem ! Just mention NUFC, St. James, Shearer, Keegan, and watch any Mackem expat explode ! ?? My best mate for the last 45 years is a Mackem, by the way ? Cheers.
  13. I was looking at the fishing jackets in Lidl yesterday......the missus just rolled her eyes and walked off pretending she wasn't with me ! Cheers.
  14. Spent a bit of time in Texas and the sporting goods shops are unbelievable ! Also spent a small fortune in Sheplers western clothing store. Big supprise was seeing all the fishing gear in "normal" supermarkets ! Rows and rows of it. Gunshops, hunting outfitters, I could spend hours and hours just taking it all in ? Cheers.
  15. Were their really British and American troops on the Ukraine/Russian border ? The way I look at it in a very basic way is if me and my neighbor don't get on and he barges into my house and attacks me, and I defend myself........I'm certainly not the aggressor ! I havent a clue who this person on FB is you are quoting. Cheers.
  16. How can Zelensky be the aggressor ? Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way round ? Cheers.
  17. The money being paid for fully restored lambretta sx200, gt200, tv175 is insane. It would be madness, in my opinion to chop these. Dont know about Vespa's though. Ss90 Vespa fully restored in origional spec go for big money. Cheers.
  18. Anyone who thinks this isn't a real war needs sectioning ! Cities, towns and villages being destroyed, thousands on each side dying, millions displaced, rapes, torture, murder commonplace, a Russian ship of the line sunk........ Whats it all about ? Way above my pay grade, but I guess it's another proxy war. Korea ? America v China. Vietnam ? America v Russia. Middle East ?the West and Israel against Russia and its ambitions in the Mediterranean. Yemen ?a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, with the West backing Saudi and Russia backing Iran Uraine v Ru
  19. Here you go, mate ! Not very good pics, but the best I can do on my old phone. Cheers.
  20. Back in the days when the Exchange & Mart was the equivalent of the Internet for us older folk, it was easy to send birds, ferrets, dogs, etc, unaccompanied, by rail in the guards van. I don't know if it's still possible, or, indeed if trains still have guards or guards vans ! Cheers.
  21. Bovan Goldline Hybrids are great layers. Well over 300 eggs a year, Ive got some around five years old still laying well. Cheers.
  22. This banty would hatch two Cayuga duck and four Bovan hens eggs without any worries; Ive got a "standard" silkie that will sit a dozen mixed hen, duck and game bird eggs. Just now I've got an American game x Bovan sitting half a dozen duck and hen eggs, she could easily sit more. Cheers.
  23. To paraphrase the great Basil Fawlty; " Ahh, sex, I remember that, sadly that particular avenue of pleasure has been closed off " ? Not quite yet for me, I hasten to add ?? Cheers.
  24. Where lurchers are concerned I like the old advice "don't believe anything you are told, and only half of what you see " ! ?? ! Cheers.
