Ask him about the mananangals,wakwak,pikpik and sigbins,he needs a dry stingray tail under the bed as he sleeps.
-
Dry clean?
-
A penny for your wart. Another method was rub a piece of liver on the wart,bury the liver in the garden,as it rotted the wart would dissapear. I stayed in a bamboo hut years ago in the southern Philippines,a deeply religious/superstitious area,the old lady who owned the hut gave me a dried out stingray tale to put under the bed,it kept mananangals and suchlike creatures at bay if they approached at night,it must have worked as I never saw any.

Jenrick in all honesty was probably stating facts,even then if he had seen a white face it could have been eastern European,its just how certain areas are,white flight is real (how's the salmon fishing going Juk?I have had quite a few low 20's recently).
-
I just looked at the specs,its got a smaller A2A than mine,nice and compact.
-
It looks nice Phil,have you got it sighted in and set-up?What group size and range?What's your release?
-
Now yes,I said posts back evolution/evolving,its how it works.
-
I actually said the method evolved from the conflict Turkey-Greek crossings starting in 2015,some of the same people are using it now to ferry people across the Channel,it was always going to happen irrespective of Brexit,Farage didn't produce this route or means.
-
But it didn't create a free channel,by your own admission prior to Brexit very few were sent back to France,after Brexit very few are sent back to France so very little if anything has changed?
-
Wires crossed mate,I am saying Farage didn't spawn the boats,the syrian conflict did,your saying Farage and Brexit created the boats,so we can't be agreeing.
-
So this isn't true then,Brexit in all reality had no bearing on illegals crossing the channel,it isn't Farage who produced the boats,as i said they were adapting and evolving from the syrian Turkey-Greek crossings,they were always coming,Brexit didn't create a new problem in truth,illegals will always find a method and route,Turkey-Greece opened their eyes.
-
What % of illegals crossing to the UK prior to brexit from France were returned back to France when apprehended as per the Dublin agreement?
-
Irrespective of this is still believe the boats are evolution spawned by the 2015 syrian/afghan/pakistan boat invasion of Greece from Turkey,some of that was organised by people smugglers from Iraq,the same people as has been reported have organised migrant channel boat crossings,Farage in my mind didn't spawn the crossings 1+1=2

Farage is in court today,the case of an illegal immigrant making threats to kill while still in Europe. reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM

My take on that is a little different Juk,Farage “Mr Brexit” is an easy scapegoat “It’s Farages fault we can’t return the boat people because he promoted and got brexit through”.Prior to Brexit how many were returned to France after arriving in the UK on Lorry’s (the common method pre-boats)?Do you have the stats? I actually had a premonition,an inkling boats would be used to cross the channel back in 2015,I have been to Calais a few times,saw the hordes waiting their chance in trucks,but security was tightening up and it was a slow method of moving people and your bottlenecked in,funnell

Had to Google gary neville to see who he was,no relevancy in my life and his words are as vapid as his career,if he was a bricklayer or draughtsman he wouldn't be given a voice,he kicked a ball around on a bit of grass,how can he be taken seriously.
-
How did he create them Juk? I don't like all these career politicians playing musical chairs and jumping ship to stay in the game.
-
Could have been worse,he could have been wearing it back to front.Hoodies and baseball caps are standard wear over here,and south of the border,but its not really a thing for anyone over the age of 25 to flip their cap back to front,the peaks to shield your eyes not to shield the back of your neck,kids think its trendy. Not a pet hate but where is AI taking us at speed,and deep fakes,I got a message from the UK earlier about the CN Tower in Toronto being on fire,its AI generated film.

Leave the mods alone and get outdoors?Pics from your walk ?

Went north trekking over the weekend,just over 25 km on really rough trail my lady last walked as a student,reached the trail head after 30 minutes on a rough road,came round a bend and saw a juvenile golden eagle being mobbed by three ravens then hiked up into the hills with some great views. -
28 degrees and glorious sunshine over the weekend,the further north the more vibrant the colours.

I did actually think “Trying to impress at a funeral???” (Must be a Newcastle thing?).
-
I don’t think anyone ever chose footwear for a funeral “to make an impression”.
-
It wasn’t for anyone else except me,they matched the suit I had (I owned the suit) but I rarely wear suits and would probably never have worn the shoes again.
