  1. It’s not a “Derby” ,Steve mate. Newcastle is a one club city, as is Sunderland. To me, Derby’s are between clubs in the same city. A great rivalry, yes ; but a “derby” ? No . Cheers.
  2. Southwick wanted to twin with Mogadishu, but the skinny’s told them to get f****d ……. Cheers.
  3. I worry for his safety Stiffy! LOL ! He does tend to get a bit exuberant ! Cheers.
  4. Sunderland have just won the “richest game in football”. Max will be ecstatic, he’s there at Wembley! Cheers.
  5. Just normal malt vinegar, little bit of sugar and warm water. I sometimes use brown vinegar but the missus insists on white vinegar. Cheers.
  6. And there you go ! The bait was cast , and immediately taken ! Strrrrrike ! LOL ! Cheers.
  7. I think the one before the 100E was the 95E popular, nicknamed “the sit up and beg”. I had one of those aswell but the 100E was the first one sort of legal ! LOL ! I remember the wipers working off a vacuum system from the engine intake, the faster the engine revved, the faster the wipers went ! Cheers.
  8. I pickle a lot of veg and found that gherkins or cucumbers are best picked and pickled as early as possible before the skins toughen up. Cheers.
  9. I kind of get what he’s alluding to; a fast, up and at ‘em type like a grew will be more injury prone that a plodder type coursing dog. But that’s not the point, the laws of averages is simple , the more work a dog, any dog, does , the more chance of it getting injured. Cheers.
  10. What’s there to disagree with ? LOL ! If a dog never gets out, it doesn’t get injured! The more it gets out , the more chance of getting injured ! Doesnt matter how “smart” or what type a dog is, hitting wire, farm machinery, a foot going into a hole , getting hit by a car, whatever. A pure greyhound lying in its kennel or just lead walking won’t get injured, but get it out hunting, sooner or later it will ! Same with any type. Of course, some types are more injury prone, but that doesn’t alter the simple fact; the more work they get, the bigger chance of injury. St
  11. It’s a lottery; the more tickets you buy, the more chances you’ve got of winning; Same with dogs; the more work they get, the bigger chance of getting injured. It’s part of the game sadly. They don’t get injured lying in the kennel. Cheers.
  12. First car was a Ford 100E, I think it was a 1959 model. A rust bucket, but as has been said, things like an MOT were “optional extras”, like wing mirrors and radios, back then ! LOL ! As for dog motors, Morris 1000 van, a few Viva vans, a Simca 1100 van, an ex police Maestro, but when I went abroad I moved a bit more up market; Subaru AWD Estate; Range Rover; And when I came home I got a Hyundai Santa Fe; Cheers.
  13. I did wonder where my political sparring partner had got to ! I thought maybe you had a “Damascene “ moment and realised that far left ideology wasn’t the answer to the worlds problems and had a breakdown ! Joking aside, have a great summer; I’m almost at full time work with the allotments and breeding hens, but I’m enjoying it ! Hoping to get some fishing in aswell. Cheers.
  14. Reminds me of when a policeman was asked, I think it was during the Lord Lucan murder inquiry, “what do you think happened ? “ He replied “ I’m a policeman, I’m not paid to think”… Cheers.
  15. I despise the Tory’s and Labour equally, and if I was religious I’d pray they all suffered the lowest level of Dante’s hell. Cheers.
  16. Aren’t the immigration figures released today from December ‘23 to December ‘24 and almost exclusively due to the Tory’s rule changes brought in before the election ? Far be it from me got give any credit to the Tory’s, but it was a bit rich of Starmer to take credit for the reduction today . Cheers.
  17. What have you got against kidneys ? They are very nice devilled, on toast for breakfast ! LOL ! Cheers.
  18. Mauritius made a claim in the international court to take our Indian Ocean Overseas Territory off us . The court gave a non- binding decision that Mauritius had a claim, so Labour has handed them over , but one of the islands is Diego Garcia, our, and the Americans most strategic base in the Indo-pacific. Starmer has agreed to rent back Diego Garcia, which was OUR’S in the first place, for 100 years at £101 million a year ! In the recent UK-India trade agreement Labour has agreed that Indian nationals working in the UK won’t pay NI contributions, Uk nationals working in India have the
  19. How will Kier Starmer be viewed in years to come ? He has allowed Indians to come here and work without paying National Insurance contributions, while putting up the same tax for the British. He has given up our fishing rights to the EU for another 12 years, in return for us, maybe, being able to use “e gates” when travelling to the EU. He has given up British Sovereign Territory to Mauritius, which has never owned the islands, and will pay £101 million per year to rent back only one of the islands, Diego Garcia. Another four years of this and will we have a country ? Ch
  20. I remember fish and chips being cheaper than a Chinese take - away, but now at the local shops a chinky is £7-8 and fishing and chips is over £12. Very rare we buy either; prefer to make our own; Thai green curry king prawn for dinner today ! Cheers.
  21. Never been charged for them at any fish & chip shop I know of ! Cheers.
  22. Scranchens we used to call them long ago, now they would look at you like you were speaking a foreign language, ( maybe we are !? ), much easier just to call it batter ! Cheers.
  23. It saddens me to say I have no respect for “our” police. I consider myself a fairly well educated and thoughtful man, but I’ve never had a satisfactory answer to “policing by consent” . Who gave them “consent , I was never consulted ? I understand that it’s something to do with the police being apolitical, not favouring any government or political party, but it looks like they are now an arm of government, and who can deny that we don’t have political prisoners ? Just look at that woman who got almost 3 years for a tweet, when members of the “Establishment “ walk free, ( Huw Edwar
  24. I’m not going until December , it’ll all be sorted before then Cheers.
  25. I’m not sure, I’m flying Newcastle-Belfast and meeting the lads there. Cheers.
