  1. When the film is shown on BBC, the name "Nigger" is overdubbed with the name "Nipper". They started this some time ago. Cheers.
  2. In my book, "The everymans book of rhyming slang", ( available on Amazon, bargain basement collection, 50p, including p&p), "lugs" would equate to "sparking plugs"....so I fully understand the confusion. Cheers.
  3. As an Emeritus Professor of Archaic Rhyming Slang, (Honoury); may I attempt a translation ? "Steam Tug", Mug, a fool . "Radio Gapa"; perhaps a local phonetic pronunciation of " Radio Gaga"; itself a corruption of the Old English "Radio Rental"; Mental. I hope this helps, if not, I haven't got a f***ing clue ! LOL ! Cheers.
  4. Understairs toilets, baby showers, Kens understudy..........on a hunting site ? Now, I know I'm a conspiracy theorist, but are you really a fat dwarf from Berwick, who must be 120 years old to have done half of what he claims to have done ? If you're not, please accept my sincere apologies , but I thought only he could post such esoteric subjects ! LOL ! Cheers.
  5. I hate to be pedantic, Gnash, but the UK doesn't have a written constitution, we have an unwritten constitution based on common and civil law, and past precedence. It used to be open to interpretation and amendment by the Executive, ( the government), and the legislature, (the Houses of Commons and Lords). This all changed when Blair created the Supreme Court, this meant the Judiciary , ( the Supreme Court, the Courts of Appeal and the high Court), could over rule the Executive and The Legislature, as happened when the Supreme Court over ruled Boris Johnson and said he had illegally
  6. My heart dropped when I saw the reports of that statue this morning, it dropped even further when a procession of left wing "commentators" were interviewed on the rolling news channels, one shit weasel even said " it's a nice statue of an everyday British black woman, and there's no reason it shouldn't stay "!!!!! How many "everyday British black women" go around with a raised fist black power salute ???? If I was to put up an unauthorised statue of Jackie Charlton here in Newcastle, I bet my bank managers life it would be down in an instant, and I be up on some Public Order offence
  7. You're right, Don. A lad who goes boat fishing with my brother has five kids, two who are "special needs". His benefits include over £500 a week cash, a new 7 seater people carrier, taxed, insured, serviced, etc, free, every three years, rent and council tax paid, free glasses, dentistry, and prescriptions. The council sends the whole family on holiday twice a year. Now, this guy isn't an idiot, he's quite clued up. I talked to him about his situation once, and he said "can you imagine the job I'd have to have to get all this ? " Yeah ! He'd have to be a proffessional, at
  8. Some years back, the dole decided to move away from people standing in line once week to sign on, to an online service.. Claimants, (or clients, as the dole called them), had to have an email address and lodge a c.v. on line or face sanctions. The dole wanted volunteers to help claimants set up an email address and construct a c.v. and learn basic interview technique, so, being at a loose end, I volunteered ! It was interesting, but a bit soul destroying to see men in their 30's, 40's, 50's who were illiterate, innumerate, had left school at 14 or 15 with no qualification and ha
  9. "As much use as a cock flavoured lolly pop " ??? Have I your permission to use that in my upcoming "Book Of Useful Similies" ? Cheers.
  10. The Christian peoples of the Balkan countries honestly and fervently believe they are the saviours and guardians of white, Christian Europe . They have spent centuries battling and turning back the likes of the Mongol Horde, the Arabs, the Ottomans, and they feel aggrieved that the west hasn't supported them when they commit genocide against the minority Muslim populations. And it's not just the Balkans; Hungary has an extreme right wing President who pisses off the EU with his treatment of immigrants, they don't want to hand over their countries when they have fought against it for
  11. No, is that the place with all the roundabouts and concrete cows ? Cheers.
  12. I've been to Arizona, it's a bit hot and dry; but so is Oz, so I guess it could easily get confusing ! LOL ! Cheers.
  13. I'm struggling to understand what the problem is here ..... There appears to be a place in America called the Arizona cattle dog rescue, which rescues Australian cattle dogs, or am I missing the point ???? Cheers.
  14. No more than any other, mate; but certainly not less than a black life ! Cheers.
  15. When we were kids, we used to have street bus trips to Roker beach........Tynemouth long sands, Cullercoats , Whitley Bay and Seaton Sluice beaches were within walking distance, but going to Sunderland was like going abroad ! LOL ! Cheers.
  16. Cramlington has a Sunderland supporters club, and when I attended South Shields Marine College, there were many Sunderland supporters there. Ive little or no interest in football, I was just giving my opinion on the term "Geordie". I was born in Gateshead, but carried over the Tyne bridge as a baby, and lived in Newcastle, apart from four years in Washington. This is enough ammunition for my brothers and sister to rib me about being "the Mackem of the family" ! LOL ! Cheers.
  17. I could spend hours explaining the bitter rivalry between Newcastle and Sunderland, but suffice to say it goes way, way, further back than football. It involves wars including the English Civil War, The Jacobite Uprisings, The granting of coal exporting licences by King Charles, the granting of City Status, and much more. One thing about those Mackems.......they can sure hold a grudge ! LOL ! Cheers.
  18. Max, I'm loathe to contradict you, as I don't want to be dragged into pointless arguments, but I'd like to give my understanding of the term "Geordie"; The majority of linguists agree that the term describes people from Newcastle, not the wider Tyne & Wear, or the north east in general. The reasoning for this goes back to the Jacobite Uprisings. The whole of the north east, including Sunderland, supported the Jacobites, apart from the city of Newcastle, who supported and fought for George of Hanover, later George the first, and were known as "George's men" or Geordies. Anoth
  19. It's simply "supply & demand".......if people are prepared to pay stupid prices, peddlers will be more than happy to take their money. Cheers.
  20. Interesting that you mention darts, Alex. Darts is probably my favourite sport. I remember when players averaging 80-90 would win the big championships, but now they wouldn't get to the quarter finals. Taylor was the first to regularly get over 100 average, but now there's a lot get 100 average, and the top players can get over 110 ! What changed ? Well darts got a lot thinner for the weight, thanks to tungsten, and boards improved with thinner wires and lack of staples, leading to slightly bigger scoring areas, but I still think the players skill and accuracy improved. N
  21. I'm not taking sides in this; I watched the video and found it very thought provoking, but the man was a very charismatic speaker, who I think could make a convincing argument about anything ! To put this in the context of dogs, racing whippets in particular, the following may give some people pause for though; In the late 60's early 70's I was the Handicapper at a couple of whippet tracks. The scratch dogs, the fastest dogs of the day were doing about 9 seconds dead for 150 yards. Thats around 16 yards per second. When I got back into the racing a few years back, I si
  22. You're right, Wilf, but things ARE changing. Just look at my part of the country; people who would vote for a donkey wearing a red rosette finally saw through Corbyn and Labour, and vast parts of the "red wall" turned blue ! Not so long ago the people of Blyth Valley would have rather committed Hari Kari by rushing en masse into the north sea, than vote Conservative, but now they've got a Tory MP ! Social media, 24 hour rolling news, etc isn't just for the young, even oldies like me are becoming more politically savvy ! Theres a long way to go before people move away from
  23. Fixed that for you mate , ? Cheers.
  24. The problem with these far left, vegan, green, tofu eating , sandal and sock wearing , tree hugging, pasty faced shithouses is that they aren't happy doing it themselves.....they want to convert normal people, with the messianic fervour of a religious cult member ! There must be something in the veggie/vegan diet that affects their brain, making them come out with such shite about a man who has just died ! I'm angry that such an abysmal creature is sucking at the teat of the public purse, but sadly, there are many , many more of them out there. Cheers.
  25. Snit weasel, absolute, cowardly little shit weasel ! Big Jack would probably have bitch slapped a bit of respect into the little shit, even at 85........ Cheers.
