I read The Guardian, Mail, BBC, Sky, Mirror, basically anything which is free. I distrust all of them. They've all got an agenda. They've all got their irritations.
Any recommendations for a decent read: sport, politics, world events?
The first thing I cotton on to when I meet somebody is their accent. I spent my childhood and my youth in Salford, and the rest most of my life in Southern Scotland. I am literally bilingual in both accents.
When I'm with Scottish mates I speak with their accent. When I'm at home with the Mrs, because she's English, I revert to English. Sometimes I literally have to translate for both parties when my Mrs is speaking to a scot.
I spend a lot of time fishing with Scots mates. When I get home, I am thinking in scots. Sounds weird but you can think in a language. I can get by in bo
The aviation authorities reckoned it was a set up and have confiscated his pilot's licence. He had loads of cameras to record the stunt.
Guess he just wanted to be the centre of attention and make some money appearing on chat shows etc.
Doesn't YouTube pay you if you have so many hits? Think they sell advertising space.
Mackem you are infuriating! Is there anywhere you haven't been? I thought I was adventurous when I went to Corfu. I was 45!
I've never been out of Europe.
Where would you settle all things being equal?
The guy I know bought a house out there and his wife promptly moved her whole family in.
Thais have a very extended idea of family.
He told me he has to hide his beer because personal ownership is a strange idea to them.
Think I would ask them to understand my British ways sharpish.
I don't think it's easy to bring a foreign bride into the country now.
Widower I know married a Thai bride and ended up living out there as paper work here made it difficult to settle here.
They are discriminated against and cannot enter conventional society. Therefore they enter the sex trade.
Tbh, I'm no man off the world but what's the big deal? Most people are born with either cock or balls or a fanny and tits.
Sometimes nature goes wrong and some are born with a mixture.
Get over it.
I thought accents come about because groups of people were cut off by mountains, valleys etc and different pronunciations developed as a result?
But as some have said, accents can change within a few hundred yards????
If I am exposed to a particular accent I pick it up quickly like a parrot. Can't help it. I worked in brummie for a month. When I got home the Mrs said you can pack that talk in or else I'm outa here sharpish.
I rate Tommy so highly I've called him out for his next fight.
Im in my seventies, might have to give him a couple of rounds start. Famous family,doesn't guarantee ability. Check out Young Hatton, he's going to get hurt bad when he steps up in class. He is incredibly easy to hit.
