    Yeah, I wish those septics would speak proper England! Ive had "biscuits and gravy" over there, and the "biscuits" are more like scones. They call biscuits "cookies". And don't get me started on crisps, which they call "chips" ! And the cretins call chips "fries" ! As some one once said; "two countries divided by a common language" ! Cheers.

    Exactly ! Some wet behind the ears, left wing indoctrinated, youngster, straight out of some second rate university, clutching their sociology degree, with no life experience, making, literally, life or death decisions for children. And their bosses on huge salaries who never take responsibility, but utter platitudes like "lessons will be learned" or retire with their huge pension and golden handshakes, just to pop up at some other council a few months later, doing the same job ! Cheers.

    I remember Rhod Gilbert on the Royal variety show a couple of years ago. I normally like his manic, expletive laden, topical dialogues, but he toned his act down so much it was embarrassing watching him struggle to get a laugh on the Variety show. Cheers.

    There are plenty of prospective foster applications, but many simply give up because of the bureaucracy and the political correctness. Cheers.

    True story; Not long after I left school, I came home from work, and my mum was in the kitchen crying; "what's up mum" I asked. My younger brother had come home from school with a black eye, and said the teacher had hit him ! Well, my dad and older brother had gone over to the school to "sort the teacher out". I rushed over to the school, to be met by the headmaster; " Ahh, another Mr H....t, do come into my office". And there was my dad and older brother, sitting looking very sheepish, and on a chair in the corner was the teacher with his head tilted back and the school nu

    Some of my teachers were ex ww2 soldiers, and more than one had what is now termed PTSS, then known as shell shock. One in particular was definitely mad, one day he just had enough and climbed out of a classroom window and never came back ! Cheers.

    Kids limping around because of verrucas, heads shaved because of nits, painted blue because of ring worm, legs in metal frames because of rickets, but, hey, spare athought for the poor kids of today who need counselling if someone called them names on face book. We were positively cosseted in the "good old days" ! ? ! Cheers.

    Pink national health specs with sticking plaster over the good eye. They called it a "lazy eye", and hoped by covering the good eye it would make the lazy one work harder. Cheers.

    I remember at school in the 50's/60's, very much pre mass immigration, we had a lass who's dad was Jamaican and her mum was a local white lass, and a Polish lad. That was it, no other "foreigners". Strangely, it was the Polish kid who got all the bullying, his life was made misery, thinking back. The half caste lass was never bullied, I guess she was looked on as something "exotic", something we had never seen before. How times change. Cheers.

    Yeah, the nit nurse ! we had a family in our street, load of kids, alcoholic dad, mum who couldn't cope. After a visit by the nit nurse. all the kids had their heads shaved and painted with that purple stuff, poor buggers used to wear balaclavas to school, even the girls. One of them was called Florence, we all called her "Flo the crow", kids can be cruel at times..... Cheers.

    Slightly off topic, but does anyone remember "the wag wife" ? Older members may remember from their schooldays the women employed by the council to walk the streets during school hours looking for truants. If they collared you, you were taken home, got a good telling off, told of the horrors of borstal, your parents were threatened with some unspecified punishment, and when dad got home, you most likely got a hiding for "bringing trouble to the house" ! Ahh, the good old days ! ? ! Cheers.

    I didn't take it as racist. I took it as feckless parents who don't give a shit, just like that white, lesbian pair. It also allways seems like an absent father is part of the scenario. I agree with KD, they are NOT like me and my missus, I don't care what colour, race, religion, creed or sexual orientation they are, I'd take their kids into care and sterilise the parents so they can't put any other kids in danger. Cheers.

    I had two mini Manchester terriers, and the only way they would of killed a fox is if one of the snappy little b*****ds got stuck in the fox's throat as it ate them ! ??! Cheers.

    Sky Warrior ? I was talking to the owner, last Open meeting I was at , Wallsend Rising Sun, and a mate of mine who runs scratch dogs said it's one of the few that breaks 8 seconds for 150 yards. Perfect for putting speed into a lurcher line ? Cheers.

    Is Sky Warrior or Emily's Warrior the sire to the pups, Tomo ? Sky Warrior is one of the fastest non-peds I've ever seen. Either way, I'd be seriously thinking of one of these if i didn't have a pup on just now. Cheers.

    I remember a moto gp rider being interviewed after being the first to go 200mph. The interviewer asked "what's it like to do 200mph ?". He shrugged his shoulders and said "not much different to 190 mph". I know f1 lap faster than moto gp, but those guys on two wheels are the modern day gladiators in my eyes. Cheers.

    My dad, when he was at Sullom Voe, and a mate on the North Sea rigs swore by Tiger Balm, so I said I'd bring a big box for them. I mentioned it to a Thai pal and he said no,no, I'll send my wife for it. it was about 100th the price I would have paid. ? Another time my missus wanted two suitcases of designer shirts for my sister to sell at the factory where she worked. Again, my pal said tell my wife what you want and she'll get them. Now this was back when a t shirt was around 50p and a polo shirt around £1 , she got them for half the price, and probably got a "commission"
