  1. I think these shows they do are horrible its almost embarrassing to watch.............id love to of seen them try to put someone like Lloyd Honeyghan on a sofa with an opponent and try to get them fired up he could barely string a sentance together !......Its not about who talks the best or who gives the best stare............its just a man against a man in a fight.............the rest of it is just meaningless promotion.
  2. Gnasher have you flown/flying a hawk or are you tempted? No i dont mate.....been tempted many times came close a few years ago did one of those falconry courses and all sorts.......just didnt feel i had the time or patience to dedicate to a bird........its still something id love to do one day i find the knowledge you chaps have so impressive i can imagine its a very rewarding feeling training and working a bird. Yeh it is mate, but one thing that has struck me since I've been hunting with hawks, is the commitment to detail it takes to get it right, I can't remember having the same dis
  3. companys up here doing that go through alot of drivers, they dont give a f**k. they aint paying for the van, fuel, tracker, unform etc, drivers do.. hence why they moved drivers to self employed, if its a shite day/ week company pays out f**k all, no drivers on the books, no vans to look after..the moneys crap for the amount of work you do/time on the road, job on the books is better, you know the score then Ive never driven for a living so you might be right im only going on what my mate says........they do have a high turnover of drivers but as long as the goods get from a to b on ti
  4. Mostly pull them up on it except for a few of the Northerners who always call me it, they think cockney is Surrey ! lol..........you just get a vacant stare when you say "Im not a cockney, Im from south of the river".........then again, I think everyone north of Watford is a northerner! I thought as much......i know a few people over the water who just wont have it no matter what
  5. Up till he split with Adam Booth i quite fancied Groves to pull off an upset as he has the discipline to follow a plan and Booth has the ability to set one plus Froch could be at the right time.............not sure now though.
  6. Ive only been into song birds for a short time but since having listened to birds in an aviary ive given my mule cages away........it might be my immagination i dont know but the sound of a fit lean healthy bird singing because it wants to......is a better sound than a bird singing because it has nothing else to do.........in my mind ive likened it to the way a dog will go through the motions running a treadmill compared to a dog outside really opening out his lungs......both are running but natural just seems to create far more energy and vigour........like i say though it might just be my im

    If your going to the Natural Histort Museum dont forget the Science museum is in the same street........i might be wrong but i thin they are both free.........get yourself over Hyde Park as well and its a bit of a cheaper day than today
  9. I love these sort of threads i find this sort of shit fascinating................fair do,s to you lads getting out there doing it.......and keep the pictures coming.....pretty please
  10. Heres a quick one for you Wilf......just out of interest. I was having the conversation the other day with a few fellas i know out of Deptford..............if/when you are described as " a cockney ".......do you pull the person up or just go along with it ?

    Believe me, the girls WILL love the market........that definitely WONT be free wilf whats the big antique / 2nd hand market called ? Sunday morning at the same place mate but lots of it is gone now, my pal had a place there and shut down for redevelopment I used to have a dealer come up for pine --don't see him these days he used to stand a few in London he stood porobello road ----he used to buy Victorian pine chests off me for 140 and get 280 plus for them ... The Angel Islington is the place for the antique markets...............bit off the beaten track but probably like an A

    London

    By my reckoning that should be a walk........Buck House down Birdcage Walk to Big Ben......up Whitehall to Trafalgar Sq...................through Leicester Sq past the Trocadero and Eros up Regent St to Hamleys ?????...................thats if you planned it properly Try and do a day over the other side as well Hyde park,Harrods,Natural History Museum etc.....................hope your having a great time anyway.
  13. A good friend of mine has a courier firm with about 40 odd drivers all subbing....some of them seem to make a decent living...............the beauty of subbing as opposed to full on self employed is you dont get knocked !.....If he doesnt put a cheque in his drivers pocket at the end of the week he doesnt have a business simple......whether he gets knocked or not its still risk free for the drivers.........also as a subbie your not having to fork out the goods transit insurance whatever its called,you have no advertising costs,as much or as little work as you like......all with no risk.

    I know it can be a nightmare trying to fit everything in so if your at Tower Bridge and the London Dungeons you can carry on up the South Bank and do Hms Belfast....The London Eye and the London Aquarium before slipping over Westminster Bridge to Big Ben............bit of an action packed day i know but they are all within a spit of each other.

    Like any capital city your not going to get a true representation of the capitals people in the tourist areas.....you either visit as a tourist or to get into the life you cant do both in the same place.
  16. Wilf ive always found honesty is respected amongst decent people......of which i prefer to surround myself..............ive also found people who are less than honest are not decent people,of whos company i tend not to keep. I have never said there are not decent blacks......i have been around very decent blacks for many years,but they are more often than not honest people who respect my honesty as much as i respect theirs.........the fact that i have never hidden my thoughts on race to them has earned a certain amount of respect with them in that i wont bullshit them for the sake of frien
  17. That's all good a well Gnash but lets get down to the dirt and grime of what you suggest. What's your plan? Because with anybody I've spoken to so far that takes such a strong stance they are usually short on the what and how. The plans are always vague and avoid the uncomfortable details. It's also my opinion that being sensible is not what got us here, being short sighted and not looking at the true consiquences of the level and type of immigration is what got us here. I can't help but admire your common sense approach to just about everything but lets talk details and see how it wor
  18. its her house as much as mine -- over 36 years she`s put up with me having as many as 25 terriers and lurchers on the yard as well as keeping and racing pigeons --having sheds full of canarys -chickens goats and even a couple of pigs I can be as macho as I want over it and put my foot down ---but if she wants a little lap dog she`s welcome to one ..its just having working dogs since I was 12 I don't think I could take to a toy breed .. Slow down stiggy boy it was called a joke............. my ol woman often has the telly remote.........................when im not here !
  19. Yes but did you care what was going on inside peoples heads before they arrived on these shores ?.......no you didnt give a toss....... Is extremist religion something new then ?.... None of us care about these things until they start to effect our daily lives. Dogs and cats are fine in separate rooms but put them in the same room and theres likely to be a problem........ FORCE them to be in the same room and there WILL be a problem
  20. For me this is where the changes through the generations become obvious.......today some would call these statements above as being bordering racist or vaguely patriotic at least.....it could probably of been read straight out of a Ukip pamphlet id imagine..........yet to me being from a different generation vaguely patriotic person it sounds pathetic bordering on feebly weak !.......... Just because some African tribesman with a yellow tea towell wrapped round his bollocks and a bolt through his neck can sing the national anthem and hold a conversation in our language doesnt make him the
  21. What are you a man or a mouse just tell her no.....simple as that........next thing she,ll be wanting to hold the remote control !!
  22. Christian i presume it works the same as dogs in respect of the old " colour comes last " motto ?........Obviously if you have the numbers in the first place you can be selective but i mean for a beginner.
  23. Studying eyes of pigeons is a science an folk swear by it, they can tell a lot, an awful lot, if your interested gnash Google it (eyesign)an have a read up, anybody interested in genetics, breeding an conditioning animals will find it interesting if they can understand or follow it..lol Wow that sort of shit fascinates me......i dare not google it though im really trying my best not to get hooked into this pigeon malarky as i have an obssessive nature I take it they cant just tell from a picture they have to use a magnifying glass of some sort......almost sounds too far fetched t
  24. Is that the mad looking f****r out of No Country For Old Men ?........havent got an air compressor knocking about by your leg have you
