  1. It is a class thing in a way though, I have a REALLY good example but it would take a while to type the story. Average kid on a council estate is almost indoctrinated through surroundings, family, friends in their formative years, get a trade, get a house council/bought, settle down etc Upper middle classes, uni, CAREER (not a job a CAREER) or business and the affluent lifestyle associated with such. Most council estate kids are on the 9-5 wage slave treadmill from beginning to end, I know lots, one holiday a year to Spain and that's their lifestyle. I have met a few agricult

  4. That's not true jukel, I have never once been anywhere and sat down with people who laughed at the UK political system, most people around the globe know nothing about it.

    Snow day

    This country doesn't really get extremes of weather, we have it easy, but it's a national predisposition to moan about it.
  6. Omnivorous mate, I would piss Bush tucker challange, bowl of squishy Llama eyeballs with Gnu piss gravy? No problem, pass the chopsticks.
  7. In the past Sid I have eaten dog,cat,rat,bat and stuff that would make queasy people puke,liquorice spaghetti sounds quite Heston Blumenthal,I would tuck in with relish. Todays lunch.

  10. Kingston on Thames, the hoardings go all the way around, some great artwork on them.
  11. You can taste it mate, I used to get a dish of small 3 inch squid cooked in their own ink in Hong Kong often, really nice, the spaghetti yesterday was boiled in the ink.Henry Winkler (Heyyyyyy) used to go into that Deli daily when he was doing panto in Richmond and that squid-ink spaghetti was one of his favourites.
  12. I knew a Scottish guy years ago,he had been glassed in the face and had decent scars,I thought maybe from a pub fight in the UK as he loved a drink,turned out a Thai bar-girl had inflicted them.
  13. This time last year I was in Orange County,a place called Corona Del Mar,incredible place,you could smell the money.I chatted to a few illegal Mexicans who wanted to live the American dream and get citizenship,that part of the country inspires confidence,and they love cops,in the UK it’s ACAB and they aren’t particularly liked let’s be honest,over there they are respected and the military get veterans discounts on things ranging from fishing and hunting licences to certain property tax exemptions.Different attitudes.
  14. I thought that Greg. walked some of the Thames today,four fire engines turned up as a rowing boat sank,initial reports of someone in the water but everyone was unsure where that info came from.
  15. Poor Rolfe,he never got his “And they both lived happily ever after” ending.
  16. This place isn’t like the good old US of A mate.I know an Iranian,Filipinos,Indians,Lebanese immigrants in the states who say “Proud to be American” haven’t heard it in the UK.
  17. I know a guy who was cheating on his wife with a younger woman,his wife was a bit hot tempered,took his pistol to the house where he was with his younger model,fired a shot in the air screaming and shouting,he hid till her brothers came and removed her.Left her,lived with his new woman and died of cancer.
  18. Went into a really nice little Italian deli earlier, today's lunch special squid-ink spaghetti and prawns, cibo meraviglioso.
  19. I never ever walk past a penny on the pavement sid, look after the pennies and the pounds take care of themselves so they say sir.
  20. It’s keeping cash in the family and tradition,easy way to get first cousins into the country also,happens in Pakistan a lot.
  21. James Watson was cancelled for suggesting that,his views on racial IQ had his Nobel prize stripped and he was banished into the academic wilderness.
