I'm printing that list off for my grandson but I reckon he's done over half them already when he's with me and he's only 18 months old. Little bugger ran into the door last week chasing me around the house hardly cried at all he just loves being out and about.

Your a happy one aint you ? Two of the ones I did didnt go past 18months though so suppose your right!

Nope Im not I can assure you but I have 3 brothers (I'm the oldest), 2 brother in laws, 1 best and only real mate, and my sons which was the greatest honour I have had bestowed on me. To be the father of the groom and knowing he feels I'm his best mate (and probably because we ended up paying for most of it and he felt he had to give some sort of payback).

Dont wish to put you off but I've been best man 7 times now and havent enjoyed 1. Its easier if you know the audience family etc but start with the usual thanking everyone for coming explain who you are how you are acquainted to the bride and groom. Mention how good the bride and bridesmaid look and what a fantastic day it had been and If you have only hunting in common try to find one or two funny stories and elaborate on those. Try to find something funny out about the bride and finish up by trying to be as serious, complimentary and as sentimental as possible before you get everyone up

My dad used to say that joke but it was "throw a brick threw (enter name of black family) window". Funny as my dad had a few black mates and I would never have said he was racist, he just found it funny. I suppose humour was different back then a joke was seen as just a joke. And on the worm front if your getting them from the golf course make sure you have a bit of sand with you for your fingers the lob worms only hang half way out and if you cant get a grip you either have them slide back down the hole or pull them in half.

Sad thing is there isn't family in this country that aren't having a similar conversation. Our surgery wont even book you in for a face to face with a doctor anymore and a telephone consultation is hit and miss and the receptionist are just plain rude. My wife had lumps come up in her mouth and neck that progressively got worse over a number of weeks they told her 3 weeks for a telephone call and told to go to A&E. We had to rock up at the clinic and refused to leave until she was seen by a doctor who then googled her symptoms and medication!!! There was no one in the waiting room fo

Food waste as well mate. My wifes supermarket bin most of the "out of date" stuff because its illegal to donate it. They started pouring bleach on it in the bins to stop the dippers because they could sue if they stole the out of date stuff and got ill. Then they realised the dippers would get even more ill with bleach on it! They now have to lock them and have signs up but they now break in to the bins, I've sat and watched them pull up in their fancy cars break into the bins and steal it, these aren't even homeless people.

Prices going crazy everywhere, my wife works in a supermarket everyday essential items going up by 30p+ on top of these ridiculous energy rises its going to mean simple things we took for granted like a meal out once a month are going to have to stop. We both work (for now!) with a reasonable wage coming in, dread to think how low income families are going to manage. Cant see this ending well this countrys going to change drastically over the next 5 years.

Price is for domestic vehicles and all rubble now is chargeable (pea gravel included) couldnt believe it, its only £3.15 to buy a 25kg bag of it new !
-
I can beat that...................house we moved into the bloke decided to tip bags of pea gravel to make it look nice around the edge of the lawn problem is when you strim the edge pea gravel flys everywhere so scrapped it up and took 15 bags to the recycling centre. First bag goes in bloke comes up to me in a high vis "how many bags mate" ......15 I say.......... "that will be £61.50"..............turns out its £4.10 a bag to tip. Cut a long story short, no more bags entered the bin I refused to pay for the first and I'm now banned from the recycling centre! Chippings were taken t

Low oxygen levels always hit Pike first before any other fish perhaps they dropped in the summer and killed them ?

Don't know if American History X has been mentioned in this thread but Edward Norton in that was brilliant. The scene at the beginning with the kerb makes me shudder.
-
Yes thats correct and I can also confirm its shit.

One of the worst post I have read on this forum but only because its so true ?

Had a old boy in work a few years ago show me a video of a sniper somebody had sent him taking out the Taliban in Iraq full on head shots the lot, didnt have the heart to tell him it was a video cut from Call of Duty.

We pay £60 for the garden waste bin, local council have brought in new recycling rules starting next month and are only emptying the black bin every 3 weeks. We now have Black and green wheelie bins, brown food bin, black box, green box and massive gurt big blue bag, takes up a chunk of space at the side of the house thats for sure.

Plimsols was the posh word for them, never heard of gutties. Start of every new term all the kids had a brand new pair the changing rooms stunk of rubber for a few weeks.

If you came from Bristol back in the 70's those noncey pe slippers were the bollocks. Black Widows they were called and its "daps" not pe slippers (another Bristol thing). They also doubled up as the mode of punishment for the teachers in our school, you would have the mark on your arse cheek for weeks.

Media again, they dont seem happy unless they are spreading fear and unrest. Watching the news now is painful at least they throw in a random story about a dog with no nose being homed or a bloke climbing Everest with no legs at the end to try and balance it out!
-
I think its a unwritten law within politics that the bigger parties wont stand in a local election mid term if the current candidate had died, possibly why Labour and Libs did not field candidates! See Jayda Fransen stood for Independent wasn't she deputy leader of Britain First?
-
In all fairness the working time directive screwed a lot of peoples chances of earning extra, if your unskilled and skilled to a degree, the only way you make more is to work more and the WTD put a stop to that.
-
I would love it if he would have said "If the parties did go ahead its deplorable under the circumstances, but we shall wait and see what the investigation brings and comment on it then. In the mean time as leader of the opposition our party would do x y and z to resolve these very serious issues our country are currently facing" Instead its ooooo look they had a party, resign, shout, scream and wave paper at one another and its all because they dont have a clue what they are doing either, absolute belters the lot of them.

@Greyman your man, the canal he's got his boat on is rammed with them (Ive never caught one from there mind). Apparently they taste like Bass ?

Catch a double figure Carp & Pike from this council owned lake (free fishing) tucked away at the back of the main a38.

Nail on head....and there is the problem for every person who a government policy negatively effects there are a greater number that it doesn't and when it doesn't effect you the vast majority don't care about it. We are selfish, self centred animals and as much as it pains me I count myself in that statement as well.
