Evidently he was thought a "wrong 'un" by his colleagues and had complaints about flashing that weren't followed up. Just another disaster on Cressida Dicks watch, but she's just been given a two year extension to her contract Go figure....... Cheers.

Hi, Bob. Yeah it never gets any easier, no matter how long you've had dogs or how old they are. Ive got the pup now, and hopefully I'll have a run or two up over the border with Davey when she's a bit older ? Cheers.

Drivers pay going up Fuel prices going up. NI tax going up for employees and employers. How is this going to be paid for ? Well, I'm seeing it already in the price rises in the shops......We the consumers will pay for it. Life is going to get poorer for most people. Cheers.

I grow them, and to be honest, I've allways thought the ones with the yellow flesh were turnips, and the ones with the white flesh were swedes. But now I'm told it's the other way round ! No matter, I just call them both turnips, or "snadgies" as we call them around here. I like them both, especially mashed with carrots ! ? ! Cheers.

Yet another take on the cheesecake; This time layered with orange and strawberry jelly. Cheers.

Isn't it about time the Government, (Boris), told all these public sector workers who are on furlough or working from home, to get back to work or lose their pay ? It was the same when we tried to renew my grandsons passport; we were told there was a SIX MONTHS BACKLOG, and as he was at school in the Middle East he would have to go to the British embassy and apply for emergency papers if he wanted to come home ! Cheers.

It's a great feeling when a pup takes its first ! ? ! Cheers.

That would be a team of six and a waggon ! ? Cheers.

I had a HGV 1 all classes licence but let it lapse about 14 year ago because I wasn't using it and didn't want to pay £120 for a medical. Can they be re-instated or would I need another test ? Just wondering, if the wages that are being bandied about are true, I may have to come out of retirement ! ? ! Cheers.

Read it again, mate, I said "he" in respect of McDonald, then a coma, then "a woman" in respect of Abbot. My grammar may not be perfect, but I'm sure most people understood. ? Cheers.

Yeah, the UK is in a bit of a mess at the moment, and the Tories are not handling it well, (though I'll allways thank Boris for fulfilling one promise, to "get Brexit done"). But the UK is positively a Shangrila, a Utopia, compared to the dystopian hell it would be if we had a terrorist supporting , west hating old fool, Corbyn, as Prime Minister, an avowed communist, who openly states he wants to destroy the capitalist system, McDonald, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, a woman so stupid she can't put her shoes on the right foot, Abbot, as Home Secretary.......all taking orders from an une

Quoting a few remainers doesn't alter the fact that Poland has a 125,000 shortage of HGV drivers......the HGV driver shortage is pan European; Driver shortage is pan-European | www.globalcoldchainnews.com WWW.GLOBALCOLDCHAINNEWS.COM Bath, UK: The logistics industry has been warning about driver shortages for many years but a combination of Covid-19, Brexit and the ongoing structural issues... Cheers.

If Brexit is to blame, how does that explain that Germany, Poland and other EU countries have a worse HGV driver shortage than the U.K. ? Countries such as China and Australia are also suffering a shortage of HGV drivers. China cannot get goods to the docks so ships are sitting idle or leaving port half empty. Of course the Remoaners will blame Brexit, it give them something to hold onto, an excuse to say "i told you so", but if Brexit has any part in this, it's minor compared to drivers being hit by Covid, wether actually getting it or being forced into isolation through being "ping

Just dropped my missus at the big, out of town Tesco at Kingston Park, outside Newcastle. As I drove past the forecourt, the queues were no different to a normal Monday morning so I pulled in, filled up with the cheapest E10 around, £1.33, and drove off. No queues, no shortage, no drama. Then I get home and Sky News is telling me that 90% of filling stations are experiencing shortages, there's 3-4 hour queues, fights are breaking out, the government is going to bring the army in........ WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON ????? Cheers.

Do nothing; leave the evil bitch where she is......she wanted to be there, and that's where she is. No f****r sent her ....... Cheers.
-
Instead of trying to unglue the bitch, I would drop the trailer in a lay-by, put screens around it, and leave her there until she begged to be unstuck........ Harsh, but fair, she glued herself to the tanker, let her ask to be released. Cheers.

The last two dogs I've had were gifted, a Teckel and a deer/grey. I'd gladly have paid the asking price for them, especially the deer/grey, as it was exactly the breeding I wanted, and is extremely hard to find these days. If it's the breeding I want, I'd travel anywhere and pay anything, within reason. You get what you pay for, buy shite you get shite. Cheers.

Another cheesecake; This time the base is crushed dark chocolate digestives, and the topping is peppermint maltesers. Cheers.

I didn't know you had seen her, I'd of loved to have met you and had a craic ? Cheers.

Had the old deer/grey cross Lima put down today. 12 1/2 year old, retired her at 10. She had mammary tumours for a while, which didn't seem to bother her, but it spread to her lungs and I didn't want to see her suffer so the deed was done. First cross deer/greys seem to have gone well out of fashion these days, and are derided by some, but were the go to dogs back before the Saluki crosses came along, up here at least ! Lima was a decent bitch, all round, considering she was 29" and around 75 lb. She lamped and took daytime hare, fox and roe; had her first go on the wh

Where did the Chinese get the technology from ? Was it "reversed engineered " from things we produced, just like the jet engines that Wilson gave the Russians in exchange for wood in the aftermath of World War Two, that were then used in MIG's in the Korean War to defeat us and the US ? Are the Chinese really better than the west at R&D, or are they just producing sub-standard , cheap, built-in-obsolescence crap ? Cheers.

I'm old enough to remember when we built ships, railways, mined coal, produced goods that were the envy of the world, and still, just, had an empire. Im old enough to remember when an insult to thick or stupid people was "as far back as the Chinese". Im old enough to remember when we worked for a living, and thought being on benefits was a shame, not a way of life. We saved up to buy what we wanted, or did without. Now it's the throwaway society, the buy it on credit society, the must have the latest gadget society.......and those inscrutable Chinese are only too willing to

I worked with a few ex submariners, and had a very, very short trip on a sub, and, to be charitable, their heads didn't seem wired quite right ! ? ! Charts.
