  1. In its heyday the 1985 final attracted 18.5 million. ( Taylor v, senior moment, the boring ginger fella lol). I don't think we'll ever get that level of interest again. I think that's partly down to the game having less 'characters' and partly due to the chess like format that the game has developed into. Although I suppose, to be fair, snooker has so many other sports and TV platforms to compete with. It used to be a working class, hustlers' game played by guys with similar backgrounds to me. Now its a career path for all sorts of people which makes it less interesting for me.
  2. For me modern snooker has become less exciting . The players are too damn good. One mistake and the other guy clears the table. I much preferred it in the early days of the televised game when players took more chances. Even complete unknowns could win , like Joe Johnstone for example. Alex Higgins was always so edge you never knew if he would throw caution to the wind and smash the balls, play a safety shot, or attack his opponent.lol. The more professional the players become, the less of a spectacle it has become.I think it will continue to lose ratings unless they devise new ways of li
  3. Canelo is tiny compared to Smith. Smith is surely in with a shout. Canelo is pure class but he ain't superman, and Smith is no mug. Gonna be interesting.
  4. A friend of mine had one, late sixties. It really had the knack of nailing rabbits. Lived on a farm surrounded by rabbits so catching was an everyday thing for it. All the lurcher guys in my area wanted to use it over bitches but it was gay or something, never mounted a bitch, or even showed interest. Bit like me these days.
  5. I've had trouble with my ears. Specialist said he'd finally worked out what the problem was...there was f**k all between them.
  6. I used to drink with some lads, and as we all lived out in the sticks, we would take turns to drive.If you were driver you didn't drink. Just at drinking up time I decided to wait outside for my mates. It was a grand night and I was enjoying the calm of the harbour and the full moon. The peace was interrupted by three young fellas who made a beeline for me as they lurched out of the pub. To cut a long story short, my mates had told these three blokes I was as bent as they were so they were very 'friendly' indeed to me. Took me ages to convince them I was straight and eventu
  7. It must be your natural charm?
  8. An Indian lady, (breathtakingly beautiful by the way) said to me that the food she cooks at home has absolutely no resemblance to the stuff they serve up in Indian restaurants. She described restaurant food as' pig swill for lager drunks.' I thought that a bit harsh, tastes good to me.?
  9. They are all nurse Ratchett wannabes. Never come across a helpful receptionist yet.
  10. Think you were entitled to some revenge mate.?
  11. Aye the old days when you were in heaven if you had a new pair of levis. Nowt else mattered.?
  12. Personally I thought the guy with the hammer was a top bloke. Didn't walk on by, assessed the situation, took the responsibility on himself to bring the situation to swift end and then legged it when he wasn't sure the dog was dead.?. Proper bloke.
  13. Bitten three times? Dogs can sense wrong guns you know?
  14. Owners of these types of dogs should be made to to take out insurance, they are potentially lethal. Same as a gun or a car.
  15. Shooting driven pheasants has become an industry with the majority of birds ending in landfill. That ain't sporting at all!
  16. I thought that too. Mistook the leathers for padding.
  17. Even as a kid I always supported the indians against the cowboys. f****n hated it when the cavalry appeared blowing that b*****d bugle. I would love to read or watch a documentary about how the indians actually lived. Hollywood actors always showed them with blue eyes and bad shoulder length wigs living in identical buffalo skin wigwams.... like some suburban estate for redskins. I bet the reality would have been very different. Tell yours Mrs some old geezer on THL says she should knock that sunbed habit on the head. Too many skin cancers caused by them, I've had them on my back fr
  18. One job I could never do is run a pub. Listening to the shite which spews from peoples mouths as the evening wears on must be torture. I would ban every bore and bulĺshitter and have no income within a week.
  19. Just listen to a group of blokes after a session in the pub where you are the only one not drinking. It makes for a l-o-n-g f***ing night.? Fantasists get worse the more drink they have. Wonder why its generally only a man thing? Women can talk a lot of shitof their own, but its generally not the fantasy stuff that men come out with.
  20. Got one as a Xmas present last year. Still unopened. Must get a grip and sort it out. Think I'm scared of the instructions tbh.
  21. Wonder why it kicked off? Possibly mistook the motor cycle leathers for a padded up attacker?
  22. Why did you have a mule/ donkey in your house? And why did you put a feather boa round its neck?
