    I know I know. Fckin grand! I'm not saying I have money (I just live cheaply) but I could pay for it, but how would an average family with kids or a mortgage pull a fckin grand out of their hat. Or an old person on their own with only a pet for company. 

    This is how they are having people all the time mate, it’s ok for you because you are clued on but your average pet keeper is getting their pants pulled down by these c**ts all the time

    End of the day it will be a simple choice between loads of migrants and loads of migrants.

    There you have it, it matters little if Labour or Tory get a landslide…..different colour rosettes, same bunch of treacherous arseholes !

    Out with the dogs tonight and the young lad has let go of the lead and the terrier has run in the road and been clipped by a car. The dog has run into the side of the car as it slammed on. 

    I don't think it's anything serious, knocked a tooth out. Took it to the vets and they have said it's got a cut behind it's front lip, between it's lip and front teeth. They want it in tomorrow to stitch it , x-ray, IV antibiotics etc etc. They actually wanted it to be taken in to their out of hours vets tonight to keep it under observation. We took it home. They say it needs stitching so food doesn't go from it's mouth, into it's nose and then into it's breathing and lungs. 

    Minimum £1000! Got to be done under general anaesthetic. 

    Now don't pre judge the money grabbing barstewards.....but I'm thinking just leave it. It's had a jab of antibiotics and painkillers. I've got a bottle of painkillers at home. The spot between the lip and teeth is naturally closed, it's not open and bleeding, I reckon it will close up itself. I may let them pull the snapped tooth out at some point as I don't like leaving broken teeth. Thinking about all the terriers we have stitched up....rat bites etc. nothing that a couple of jabs and a bit of rest haven't cleared up. It's 90% a pet, I've got the money, but something isn't sitting right with paying a grand for a few stitches 

    Genuinely, without just ranting about the money grabbing c**ts, what do you think?

    Don’t know what type or temperament the terrier is but I personally wouldn’t bother…..terriers are as tough as old boots.

    As Dogman says, their ability to recover with just a bit of common sense care is remarkable as I’m sure you know.

    It will be right as ninepence in a week.

    First Rwanda flight pencilled in for three MONTHS time,Rwanda said they will take a couple of hundred at huge cost.That’s one days worth of illegals to be sent in 90 days time without the backlog that’s already in the UK.It’s a panacea,it’s no magic cure,it’s smoke and mirrors.

    NEWS.SKY.COM

    Downing Street says it has identified the first cohort of people to send to the African nation - but legal challenges lie...

     

    I said that when they first announced this set of total bullshit, as I remember my word were “not a single person will be going to Rwanda”

    The only reason they may go to Rwanda is if the home office have them holed up in Tower Hamlets or Lewisham……then they may go, less wogs !

    Never had or wore a pair mate. I suppose what they were intended for and that was working on riggs out at sea were they could be kicked off easily if one was to fall in the sea they had their purpose but seeing some one driving a fork truck in a pair I found amusing. Lol

    I have a pair at the moment for precisely that reason, easy to slip on and off when I’m in and out round my little farm yard…..in reality they are f***ing awful and if I had to be in them all day I’d never own a pair in a million years, you just couldn’t function.

    Danner Nike Oakley, benville, a few others. Honestly most people buy their own after we get out of basic to fit what they like according to what they do.  The boots S-3 wear while sitting in the office all day vs the ones we wore in recovery vs the ones the cav scouts would wear where all kinda different.

    But anyhow these where the ones I wore, problem is the steel toe wore out quicker and the way their made to be breathable isn't good for water resistance out here 

    And I have to buy mine new because I have a small but wide wide foot so it's a pain to find my size

    They will make a leather water proof version of those I’m almost sure, all our military boots have a leather version that are water proof.

    If I showed you my old ones you’d laugh I couldn’t part with them these are about 8 weeks old and I polish them with one of those squeezy kiwi things, I’m a manager now I have to set the standard lol 😂 

    Now, there’s an old fashioned thing……I have always cleaned my boots, it’s like a weird obsessive compulsive thing I have.

    Bore the arse off my oldest lad about stuff like that ! Lol 

    But it’s something I have always done, look after your kit and it will look after you…..plus, you wouldn’t go out with the arse hanging out your trousers like a tramp so why should it be different for your boots.

  8. Who makes the military desert boots there Wolfdog, is it Danner ?

    Ive never worn Danner but have done god knows how many miles in Meindl, Alt-Berg and Lowa desert boots and they are superb.

    Lightweight, resilient and breathable with excellent support to ankles, arches and forefoot/metatarsal areas.

    Cheap as chips from surplus and worth every single penny.

  9. Laced boots support your feet better, period.

    Over time slip ons will naturally loosing and your feet move about in them, even if it’s slightly, and that causes fatigue, bad feet and without the support of a lace system can lead to injury.

    When it comes to boots that you have to ware and put to the test, laces are a country mile in front.

    I just look at Man Utd, Tottenham, Chelsea etc the last few years and Pellegrini a few seasons back

    I do think Steidten will have a bit of pull in attracting a manager

    Man Utd are/were the biggest club in the world mate and most of their fans didn’t realise they had 20 plus years of absolute fantasy football, how do you replicate fantasy ?…….you can’t and I think a lot of the fans have realised you can’t.

    Ten Haag is doing amazing with what was a wreck of club and dressing room imho.

    Postecoglu and the yids are playing amazing, seat of your pants football…..I love Postecoglus approach, he just don’t give a f**k by the look….he is going to play the way he wants and attack you and let the cards fall where they will after a great game of football, I love all that shit.

    Chelsea ?…..who gives a toss, they have been a rich man’s play thing so long that I don’t think anyone is surprised or even cares that they have fallen into the hands of an American who is a comedy roadshow…..he is the Max Hardcore of football club owners ! Lol 

    I remember when Pellegrini was appointed, I actually said “f**k sake” out loud…..an appointment so boring and without any thought or ambition……it was just getting “a name”……absolutely no thought process behind it at all.

    If you want to win things then go and win them, don’t “try and not loose” your way to glory…..it’s gutless shit.

    The entire west is under assault,I spoke to an Indian guy who told me you can get an entire USA package in India for $30k that includes flights to Columbia a guided route overland,transportation across the border and a consultation with an immigration lawyer once they get stateside,the invasion isn’t stopping in any western country at all,if anything it’s gathering pace.

    I watched a thing the other day and illegal immigrants are sleeping in police station receptions at night and living outside the station in the day in Chicago.

    How long do y'all usually get out of a pair till you need to replace them ?  Looking at about 3-5 months for mine till they get to the point I have to replace them per company policy the non skid surface on these barges eat the treads pretty quick or wears out the leather on top of the steel toe ...always a fun feeling dropping right at $200 on a pair of work boots, and these are the cheaper ones 😂

    I’m a bit torn on the whole Moyes situation. 

    I can’t fault what he’s done the past few years - waited 39 years for a trophy! In some ways I actually think he’s overachieved with the squad, only Paqueta, Kudus, Alvarez and Bowen are top players who’d get in a top 8 side
     

    It’s similar to the Allardyce days, when it’s bad it’s f*cling bad as he’s no plan b. 
     

    Who do we get in though? We seem to be heavily linked to Julien Lopetegui, but he never seems to stay anywhere long

    I know what I’d like to see, sadly that won’t happen and the alternative I couldn’t really care about mate….it will be standard stuff, long as It’s not awful to look at that’s about as much as we can hope for I reckon.

    I disagree i think it is a South London thing they just have no respect for property this is a mob who were infamous for trashing their own areas during the footie stuff of the 80's remember.....my sister and her ex husband had a pub round the corner to this one and it was constant......i like to think us over the river would at least take it outside like proper chaps should but they have a safety in numbers attitude in my opinion,neither of these 2 actually wanted to fight as i found out by how easy it was to split them up !

    That’s just your east London prejudice talking ! Lol 

    Fights and pubs go together like fish and chips, tanked up lads picking silly scraps that in reality they only want to half get into is a national pastime and I personally f***ing loathe all that caper.

    I just don’t want to be around these people, both my Brothers had pubs in South London for years but they were no different from pubs in Essex, East London, Central London, Dundee……city and town pubs are completely different to the quiet little country pub run by the retired cozzer.

    Theres a reason grown blokes are in a shabby boozer in a shabby part of town getting tanked on a weekday, it’s because they are c**ts mate….worlds full of them.

  17. First and foremost, it’s my belief that men of a certain age should avoid pubs…..after 40 your tolerance for c**ts just seems to fade away completely and where’s there’s drink there’s c**ts.

    However, in response to your post, absolutely someone should have at least got the girls out the way, I don’t think that’s even a question is it.

    Its not a south London thing mate, it’s a boozed up c**ts thing.

    As for “oh, shouldn’t have got involved it’s a family thing”, bollocks to that, f**k their family, doing the right thing is just something you do.

    That’s my tuppence worth anyway.

    When i use the phrase " lads like you " im referring to leavers of course,fans who wanted the move......having spoke to loads over the last few years im seeing a distinct pattern so i'll ask you the same mate.

    In your heart of hearts are you kicking yourself about the move now ?......having gone from a little club you liked to a big club you dislike , in hindsite do you regret the club moving and everything that comes with it ?

    Decent question mate.

    My answer is this, I’ve never been to the new place and I’m sure I’d probably hate it with my “bloke who just wants to go football” head on…..that’s being totally honest.

    That said, did it need to happen ?……absolutely yes, there’s no other way for clubs except to move forward and I 100% stand behind that……personally I don’t think fan or not a fan comes into that decision, it’s just a reality imho
    It was an opportunity I don’t think any club would have turned their nose up at.

    I think we have only half done the job as I don’t think we have backed it up properly but that is another conversation really.

    So as a Fan, no, not a bit of me.

    As a realist, yes, absolutely.

    I don’t dislike our club at all, this is going to sound a bit cringe but there’s still plenty of lads like you and me and I like those people…..I like our dry sense of gallows humour as fans and I like the football heritage of the club and the area.

    My last game before I moved was the night cup game against Everton when Adrian scored the winning penalty…..Me, my lad when he was little and my pals….what a night to finish on, how could I dislike that club ? 
    I intensely dislike Moyes type of football and I laugh at some of the claptrap we come out with as a club but I don’t think that could be called disliking my club could it ? 
     

    We ain’t entitled screamers like City or Liverpool fans, we can have a chuckle at getting done in 5-2 at Palace away but we like our football and generally lads from round there know what a bit of proper football looks like. 
     

    So I’d say, you have the wrong impression mate, I don’t dislike our club at all, I just dislike shite football. 

  19. If anyone is feeling down and needs a cheer up, simply follow the speculation and statements from our little West Ham about who our new manager may be, who they are talking to etc !

    Its amazing, it’s like the media team are just sitting around smoking crack and just sending random posts ! Lol 

    Yesterday it was Sporting Lisbons head Coach Amorin (spel ?) flown in for talks…….Amorin ?…….Sullivan has more chance of getting Alladding ! 
     

    Expect to see a constant flow of this nonsense until we land Tony Mowbray !

    Yep that’s a project :laugh:.

    I’m just used to good PMs really benefiting projects.

    I’ll give you a true example mate, a bloke I knew set up a relocation firm.

    He was a salesman with no relevant experience in the field beyond selling people the service.

    His firm did a relocation for a big solicitors firm in London, on the day it was completed the solicitors had one of their top lawyers flying in from the United States to do a job.

    One of the relocation lads forgot to plug in this blokes phone in his office…..so he sat there all day and did nothing.

    The solicitors billed the relocation firm £10,000 for this blokes lost days work ! 
    That’s ten grand because somebody didn’t make sure about details and just assumed it would be ok because they told someone else to do it ! 

    On another job it cost the company moving £150,000 to rent a server room in their old office for 4 days because the IT didn’t get it all sorted in time because the lawyers didn’t sort out the lease in time.

    Details mate, making sure, talking to everyone and then making sure again all the way along the entire life cycle of a project……most of these tits assume that if you throw in a few nonsense  buzz words, send everyone a spreadsheet once in a while, crib about £200 when the jobs worth a million quid and send some emails that it constituents good work and it will all just fall into place, it won’t…..somebody will be going home 15 minutes early to watch the darts or having a holiday in Tenerife on crucial days when they should be doing their bit, you need to know they are going to do that in advance and adjust or everything breaks down.

  22. Why can none of these people ever say or seem to understand that vast numbers of English people and British people feel undermined, unwelcome and under attack in their own land and events like this are just a manifestation of all those frustrations that are quiet frankly sneered at, insulted and ignored.

    I’m not an educated or clever man, but as far as I can see the question these people should be asking is not “should police be acting like this to gatherings of people waving a St George’s cross ?”, the question is “Why do they feel the need to be there proclaiming there own identity in their own nation in the first place ?” 

    Why do they feel this way ?

    Thats the question that never gets asked or spoken about and I wouldn’t mind betting it’s because they know the answer and don’t have the guts to talk about it. 
     

    Im not massively into St George’s day, I have seen people from Tamworth to Tim Buk Tu, black as the ace of spades, draping themselves in the St George’s cross…..my flag is my blood, your genetic heritage and the bond to the soil under your feet in your own land beats any and every flag.
