  1. I wish I could but the thought of having to lift packs of stuff from a low position to a high position tires me out let alone having to do it. I'd be useless at that physical stuff. It'd be one yoghurt at a time and that wouldn't be good for business due to the overtime I'd have to submit. Someone has to do it though or there wouldn't be any produce for people to buy with the money they've "grafted" for to then go eat the produce to fuel them and their family and friends to keep them alive and give them the energy and life to go out and "graft" for the money to pay tax and N.I to support t
  2. What are you doing about it?
  3. bill gates never did "proper graft" then by your logic......still not done bad tho..... I never said "key pushers" weren't "grafters" though or didn't do "proper" jobs. Whistle, whistle.
  4. Not exactly a "grafter" then is he? Globe trotting. Pushing keys. Work fit for chimps is that, it's not proper work at all. I take it you've had words and told him to get a proper job, too right as well.
  5. If you could that's help the situation somewhat but I know the true grafters just couldn't face a day off. Working is what they live for, it's their life force and so without the full numbers I just don't think it'd get the point the across. Here's one for you Ruby. I was out for a meal last night just before I posted, got talking to one guy (been out for meals and he's been there a few times) and his rather quiet lad. His lad was at Uni studying computer science so we started talking when all of a sudden hid dad interrupted and said "He's right humble about it but he started putting vide
  6. Oh I dunno, you've got to push them in the right order and somedays you've got to push two at a time quite often. We should get paid overtime for that, might have to speak with the union. One of the reasons I hate going into the office is most of the time some git has been fiddling with the air con so you've got to wait 5mins for the office to get to a reasonable working environment temperature. Some days when you first get in it can be 24c and you're sweating your crack off just saying "hello" to folk. Then you've got to stand around waiting for the temp to drop to 22c. I usually with go
  7. I'm at the other end of the scale on this. I work from home most days and even travelling to the office (about 18miles) seems a bind when I can do my job remotely. I can work from a cyber cafe or anywhere there is an internet connection. We get sent all over for training etc which is good for a laugh and as it's all expenses paid the corporate credit card gets smashed to heck. A few more certs means a heck of lot more coin and I'm only working for another 15yrs before living the dream. Hope to retire before I'm 50.
  8. Why not use the ferrets that you plan on feeding and some purse nets?
  9. Partridge and orange (16) on the top dropper. Snipe and purple (16) on the middle dropper. Waterhen bloa (14) on the point. Mend the line and wait for the pull
  10. Two Rockers - the jockey's surname is the same as mine
  11. It's frightening isn't it? I've been on an ex-racehorse that was being stabled up near my parent's, didn't go anywhere just sat on it. All I could think "If this fecker wants to go anywhere I have no choice in the matter, just exit stage left and hope for the best". I'm a volunteer field manager for a riding club and they have hunter classes, a hand or three shorter than the NH horses but there are kids of about 9yrs riding them!!! WTF!!!
  12. It's stunning when you can hear them go full pelt. Really gets your heart going. My gramps was in with loads of jockeys in the old days and had a few stories of being given horses with heavily meaning winks. Full wages would be placed on a horse.. He was a bit of a picker as well in his day according to my dad. Gramps could pick a pairing but if his choice of jockey wasn't on the horse he wasn't interested. He and my dad had some very heated debates - gramps was all form and rider etc, my dad was draw advantage and has had certain courses change the starting boxes changed to other positi
  13. I think your post sums up everything that people find wrong with it and everything others find right. Wrong because it is so hard to win as it is such a lottery so from a serious punters view it is a race to have a bit of a fun bet on but nothing serious because although your horse might be 3/1 that should have small print after it saying (if there were no other horses and no jumps and it wasn't two laps). I guess for that reason it is known as a race to have a bit of fun with from a betting side but it is these multiple elements that can happen that makes it such a spectacle to watch and
  14. Hope you only had 50p max on those and even better if you we're just cheering them on.. 50p lol big punter eh The only way to make a small fortune gambling or betting is to start off with a big fortune
  15. Think I'll go for Vintage Star and Mr Moonshine purely because the Smith stables are just across the moors from me and I often see their horses blasting over the moors. Tremendous to have them gallop passed only a few feet away and no crowd noise to drown out the thundering of the hooves and the snarling of the breathing.Far better than being at a course. Magnificent creatures indeed. I'm sure I've got a video of them somewhere.

  17. Three Women , Two Younger, And One Senior Citizen, Were Sitting Naked In A Sauna. Suddenly There Was A Beeping Sound. The Young Woman Pressed Her Forearm And The Beep Stopped. The Others Looked At Her Questioningly. 'that Was My Pager,' She Said; I Have A Microchip Under The Skin Of My Arm. A Few Minutes Later, A Phone Rang. The Second Young Woman Lifted Her Palm To Her Ear. When She Finished, She Explained, 'that Was My Mobile Phone. I Have A Microchip In My Hand.' The Older Woman Felt Very Low -tech. Not To Be Out Done, She Decided She Had To Do Something Just As Impressive. She Stepped O

  19. It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to shout at them. Some are over-sensitive and there's nothing worse than an over-sensitive woman. This is a letter received by a man's self-help group ............ "My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Julie. When I took early retirement last year, it became necessary for Julie to get a full-time job for the extra income that we need. Shortly after she started
  20. Weren't the fences lowered after growing opposition from animal rights and RSPCA guidance etc? Memorable ones I've had are Esha Ness (the race that never was), Garrison Savannah ("where the F**K did you come from?), and then Numbersixvalverde (had £4 on that badboy at 33/1). If it's a grey mare with a female rider, good luck to you
  21. About if you could predict a winner or if it was down to chance? I think you can predict a winner in the National but EVERYTHING has to go right, on top of that horses in themselves are unpredictable so nothing is ever a certainty with horse racing and that is the whole reason it has people going back time after time. If it was straightforward and the best horse won every time than it'd be very boring to watch and there wouldn't be any bookmakers to take your cash.
  22. Biggest lottery race of the season. Do you go for form? Trainer? Owner? Jockey? Make not one difference as anything can happen with such a distance, jump size, numbers running and the good old riderless nags causing mayhem. Used to put all of the names in a hat when we were kids. Everyone would draw a horse until the hat was empty. Winning horse picked up £5. I'll never forget the year I was dealt Esha Ness. Dammit!!!!
  23. If only it WAS that simple but it's not quite that cut and clear when it comes to metabolism, hormone levels lean muscle mass, fat levels etc.
  24. What scientific study have they undertaken that makes them such an authoritative figure on genetics then? His whole theory about things seems to come from taking the different types of characters from The Lord Of The Rings and using basic prejudice stereotypes, applies them to the people of various countries. A story written for Tolkien's children as a bedtime story stems a respected theory of human evolution. Seriously?
  25. Right. I read the bit about Autism on the site that Atala link takes me to. Will this site still be here tomorrow Neems after 1st April has been and gone? Whoever wrote that piece needs to contact the various research facilities that are investigating how Autism manifests itself, develops and what factors determine how far into the Autism spectrum an individual will be because they are sitting right here, on that website with the answer. Apparently you just need Neanderthal genes. Doesn't matter if they are old genes or recent genes (recent Neanderthal genes?). This could save us
