  1. Socks its an admireable stance to take......and one we all like to think we,d take in that scenario.........ive had the absolute shit kicked out of me on more than a few occassions,you dont end up with a boat race the state of mine if you havent ......ive never quit on physical pain in my life but their comes a point when regardless of your mental strength and tenacity..........your body just doesnt go anymore.
  2. Looks to me like a basic punishment beating...........from what folk were describing earlier about not fighting back i thought a fight had taken place...... Been naughty and made an example of he,s not the first and wont be the last
  3. Tour de France riders where crash helmets but throw a stick in their spokes and they still die
  4. Some people sit moaning others get off their arse and make things happen................if you think your worth more then go out and get what your worth. Good on anyone who makes the best of what they have................your words reek of jealousy and its such a horrible trait to have.
  5. I occasionally use a forum about a certain make of car i like and a bit of online betting...... apart from that the internet just saves me buying a newspaper
  6. Really dissappointed mate if im completely honest.... only had 4 chicks off the Canaries and not a bean from the Goldies i dont know if its too late in the season to expect anything now but id be a liar if i said im not a bit gutted.......not being here for a month and leaving them in the hands of someone even less experienced than me no doubt didnt help but still lessons learned for next year i suppose...............feel a bit of a dick getting all them breeding cages now i must be doing something wrong.......no footie next summer so i,ll be able to pay more attention Any joy with the bi
  7. Thats it Stan yes i,ll pm you......cheers.
  8. Cant see the link but id be interested to see what we,re talking about here in terms of " a beating "........if for no other reason than im curious to see what some folk might call " curring out " I know one thing and that is it doesnt matter a jot that your conscious if you are slipping in and out of shock your body just doesnt go......never mind fighting back you,ll struggle to raise your arm ! As for the reasoning....if its as bad as folk say then i agree with Steve66 it sounds well ott for beating a dog.
  9. Just to wrap this topic up i thought id just share this with you chaps....feels like im becoming a bit of a sentimental old prat but i guess its hard not to when kids are involved.........The family we got friendly with who i was telling yous about,well before we said our goodbyes we,d swapped contact details etc but as you know you dont realistically expect to ever hear from each other again......well i got a lovely email from the kids this morning thanking us for " been kind for us " as they put it .....turns out they got a young lad who Marcio knew from the restaurant where we took them to
  10. We was only talking the other day about the playground wars over sticker swaps.... " got,got,got,got,got,NEED "......then the bartering starts ....probably showing my age a bit now but before Panini books came " The Wonderful World of Soccer Stars " ......funny days......what the urge to suddenly start renaming it " soccer " was back then i dont know !
  11. Oh its like that is it........well if anyones in contact with him maybe they could help out.......ta
  12. Would anybody be able to get hold of Christian he messaged me while i was away but it seems my reply hasnt/cant be sent for some reason i wondered if maybe he,s left the forum or whatever.....much appreciated if anyone can help.
  13. Have you seen the size of the gaff ............Manaus to Rio was bad enough something like 1500 miles............Russia east to west has got to be what 8 ? 9000 ? Id imagine most of its pretty grim as well not sure Russians are reknowned for their pleasant welcoming nature Qatar is 2022 Tomo think i might be passed it all by then !
  14. I was thinking more Mecca what with my new found relationships with the ethnics ...........if the mountain wont come to Muhammed or something like that aint it.....then again i could just stick to Bethnal Green for that And no Bird didnt come across any bulldogs on my travels ..... I can never say no to following England to world cups but 2018 is going to be a tester............. in Russia ....if we qualify !!
  15. The fella Marcio i was telling you about......this was his source of income over the last month This is his " patch " defended as fiercely as any inner city turf war as well Next week he,s back to selling crappy plastic toys to the tourists ( what we know as the looky looky man ) ..............But again,it shows these peoples pride and morals.....you dont want to insult them but a number of times i just tried to put a few bob his way just to tide him over for a while but he wouldnt have it.......the day before we left i put a bunch of notes in his hand in exchange for every st
  16. Thats nice words mate thankyou....not sure im respected any more than the next man infact most folk probably think im a bit of a tosspot but thats ok.....i just put pics up and describe the sort of things id be wanting to read if youd been on a similar adventure its nice to share experiences... hunting wise im not as hardcore as some of you lads but i get tremendous pleasure from reading what yous get up to,same applies here i suppose No i had a nice time with the little lass and we enjoyed each others company but things start getting messy when you take a holiday romance home with you d
  17. Messi wasnt even the best player in his own team let alone the tournament !......Mascherano had a better tournament than Messi...... Just glad there was a result in normal time it would of been terrible for the world cup to be decided on penalties.......Germany were the best TEAM overall......team being the important word,not outstanding individuals.
  18. A lot of pubs seem to be getting benders in to manage them i think its because a lot of them are outgoing lively trendy types who probably do drum up a bit of business.......a few months back a mate of mine took me in a pub that used to be a proper man only sort of place bit of a trouble pub he said you wont believe what its like now.......the " couple " now running it were bent as a ten bob note got chatting to them one said to me in a squeaky voice " dont worry i can do strong and tough " i said in an even squeakier voice " thats alright cos i can do camp " ......had quite a giggle with the
  19. Im not normally the type to go all Mills & Boon over a treacle but must admit it was quite an emotional little fairwell really .....a few days before leaving she took me to a place quite hard not to get carried along in the moment !! Iguassu Falls.......stunning even on an overcast day.......but thats life all good things come to an end This is a bit of a meaningless picture it just tickled me.............this sign was on the INSIDE of the lift at the hotel in Belo Horizonte And Socks you are absolutely right,not just the scrounging but the politeness and manners t
  20. They were such straight up genuine people Tomo it was almost refreshing to be around folk that desperate yet still with such pride and morals........they didnt want to stripe us they just wanted to welcome us into their lives we met the fella in the picture above while playing footie on the beech he ended up inviting us over for some home cooking......in return we took him and his family out 3 or 4 times to eat yet every time we had to literally force him to keep the little bit of money he did have in his pocket !.....They still have the pride not to accept charity ( even though we did manage
  21. Yes but you havent seen my mrs ......the little bird in the picture is actually a bit older than you would probably imagine,good business head on her shoulders as well,smart little lass.......tempting as it was to stay there my mrs has been with me so long now shes almost one of the family so gets the vote ! .....nothing wrong with a bit of holiday romance though im sure my film star good looks and charismatic charm left just as much of an impression on her as she did me so everyones a winner Anyway there was a football tournament there as well England players thanking the fans after
  22. Cant get away with the saucy ones,funny as they are .....some proper old states youd be amazed what middle aged Brazilian sorts will do when their side wins .......im sure i can get away with this one,lovely little Costa Rican bird i half fell for nearly didnt bother coming home to be honest lovely sweet natured little thing certainly eased the pain of England losing ! East London on the Copacabana Arriving at Manaus in style Forest of Dean we did a little trip along the Rio Negro and had these nutty little things jumping in and out of the boat if that counts as wild
  23. Ive got one in my sport room just for when the lads come round to watch a game or fight etc......go,s right across one wall i couldnt tell you all the technical details but the picture is perfect its an Epson TW3200,cost around 1500...it claims to give hd projection up to something like 25 feet....you wouldnt want to watch every day tv on it but if you,re a sport or film nut having a bit of a home cinema set up is great......if you have it in a small room and cant get far enough away from it the noise of the fan might drive you mad..and of course the darker the room the better the picture....
  24. What did you realistically expect then Wilf ?......Italy and Uruguay have historically beaten us more than we have beaten them and were betting favorites to go through before us.....Costa Rica were our banker and they turned out a much better side than folk thought..... Style wise it was a no win......we could either try to match technically better players or play the " English way " we would of got criticism regardless.......it went pretty much how i thought i dont know why anyone would of expected much more.
  25. Lukey id say its one of those extremes of both types of places theres some real beauty along with desperate poverty.....trouble is they are little too close to each other for my liking !....For instance this is from our hotel in Rio around 6am....quite nice im sure you,d agree.. Then this is about half a mile away from the roof of my new friend Marcios gaff.....notice the Maracana in the background.....one of the warmest,nicest families and funniest man ive ever come across by the way And Marcios actual family home... You can be in the nicest parts of town yet still
