  1. Genuine question. Why did the UK follow the USA into the Iraq war? Was it a case of the yanks saying we need your participation to widen the blame? Did the UK follow the states because the States threatened that if we didn't do as we were told, then we could forget about USA protection if we were ever threatened by Russia or China? So is our foreign policy based on paying our dues to the world top dog or else their protection will cease? Was Bliar basically right in joining the war to ensure protection for Britain in the future? Another question. Does the UK have the right to use o
  2. Those kids in the audience f****d for life.
  3. I remember Carlisle had suffered a bad defeat. So as a punishment, Collins made the squad run-through Carlisle shopping centre to humiliate them. Counter productive! He was reputed to be a bully. Pleased he got a hiding.
  4. The bushwackers for me. Ugly, double crossing, cheating, retards. I really identified with them. My other favourite was Mankind. Poor b*****d had been abused as a kid, trusted no_one and lived in basements with only the heating ducts for warmth and company. I watched Stone Cold Steve Austin reach out to him one episode. He offered his hand in friendship, said Mankind only had to trust him and they would be an unbeatable tag team. Mankind inched forward to Austin whimpering like a dog. Closer, closer until he finally stood up and looked Austin in the eye. They shook hands with the cr
  5. I've just been reading Hussain's autobiography in a book shop. He says when he was England captain he wasn't a nice person, drank too much, suffered from depression and had a gut problem caused by stress. He says there was this bloke in a hotel who always wound him up. He said he resembled Shrek. He said his irritation with Shrek made him bully other hotel staff. Well the first part was true.lol
  6. It's one of the downsides to being a boxer. You get arsesholes like me and your brother cracking jokes and offering to fight. It must happen all the time to them. I remember our 'Enry saying he gave up going out because drunks woud continually square up to him. Lol
  7. I thought that young lad was going to have a hero worship inspired orgasm.Lol
  8. That's Trump in his younger days. Sounds just like him.
  9. For a joke I once said to ex world champion Jim Watt " You've won nothing mate. You haven't fought me." He laughed and said " I only fight for money". Thank f**k he took it as a joke and didn't chin me. Collins must have been well pissed to get involved in something like that.
  10. I'd go with Collins without a shadow of a doubt. He had a mean streak and world champion boxing ability. His brother was manager of Carlisle Utd. He had an aggressive side to him too. Maybe the wrestler in a telephone box.
  11. How can it be 'predetermined but not fake?' It's kayfabe, I( leaned the word from STIFFMEISTER.) Great entertainment. Pantomime. End of.
  12. I wonder why? Oops shitstorm brewing. And me just saying there's general agreement on here.lol

    I was thinking of hens more. They routinely have antibiotics in drinking water, otherwise they infect each other with coccidodis. Pigs are also routinely dosed. Traces of antibiotic coming from livestock have been found in human tissue, including breast milk. It's part of the problem of antibiotic resistance. In the States growth hormone is allowed to be administered to cattle and there is talk of a trade deal which would allow American beef and chlorinated chicken to be sold here. I have a mate who's foreman on a dairy farm. He's told me there's lots of dodgy milk which get into the bul
  14. Yes but Private Walker used to call him Taffy to wind him up. I used to identify with Walker but now I'm more similar to Godfrey...needing a pee every hour. Not guilty on casting flies. I'm too stupid to cast flies. What you see is what you get. My Mrs casts flies all the time and I always bite. Frazer had been a serious Shakepearean actor all his days and thought his role really beneath him. Silly man he gave us a lot of pleasure. Far from being a gentle old man, Godfrey was a terrible bully to his wife and had her at his beck and call on set. Brilliant, brilliant series
  15. I'm sure I've seen less swallow and less bats this year. Swallows seem to stay longer as well. I've seen swallows well onto October, whereas years back they were gone in September.
  16. I've noticed there's more agreement on here than bitter political disputes. I've had my moments on here and received plenty and dished it out myself. But I think everybody is realising we are all in the same boat. We are all screwed with a common political enemy.. the political system in the UK. It is so ingenious that whoever you vote for, you end up with the same outcome: policies intended to screw us even more. So as Taffy used to say in Dad's Army :_ We're doomed! We're doomed! But it ain't funny.

    Hark at you. I'm all right Jack! Not the attitude to take young man. Its not supposed to be a means tested benefit. The more money circulating from the 'grey' pound the better for everybody.. Disappointing response. You must undergo training to correct your right wing tendencies.

    True mate. But we are all political eunuchs.Trained to comply.

    Carbon offsetting is a con. Agreed. But re_ wilding is vital imo. The problem of smaller farmers being bought up by huge factory farmers is immense. Dairy farmers in particular are all being bought up by the big boys. Pig and chicken farming is the same. The goal is always cheap food for the consumer and lower welfare for the animals. Pile em high, fill em full of antibiotics and sell em cheap. The supermarkets are our enemy as well as our friend. One thing is certain. There's going to be more Covid like epidemics coming from birds, pigs and cattle which are intensively reared. And more lives

    You f****n leftie, Marxist, agitator and malcontent. Be grateful for what you've got and start doffing that cap!

    I'm there if there is one organised. I'll put my Wolfie parka on just for the occasion. I've just been reading what the pensions minister has to say. I thought she would be saying something like" difficult decisions, last thing we really wanted to do but..." Actually she said " there are plenty of wealthy pensioners who don't need it ". Which is akin to saying 'let them eat cake'.
  22. Definitely a "where were you moment?". I was passing a television on an Edinburgh St. At first I thought it was television wizardry...not real. But then realisation grew.

    I don't think they do realise . They are so way 'out there' on a mission which apparently has no aims other than their own advancements. Reeves has already said further cuts are coming in the October budget. f**k's sake. There is nothing left to cut. I know, the roads budget, there's not enough pot holes.

    Yes but people thought that a benefit brought in by Labour was part of our social wage. A right which reflected the problems that people face particularly in the colder North of the country. You are correct that it wasn't in the manifesto but it should have been. That way we would have known what we were voting for. They will have planned this way back but kept it quiet from us. I'm still scratching my head that a measure, which will cause so much worry and hardship to people, was the very first act of a Labour government. As for foreign aid, alot of it is designed with the donor
  25. I love the chill autumn winds, something exciting about them. This time of year we used to get the arrival of monster salmon 'greybacks'. Every time you put your line in the water you'd be full of adrenalin and anticipation. I've never caught one,but mates have caught them over 40 pounds. Then there's the pink foot geese heralding the arrival of autumn, with ferreting, long netting and lamping on the agenda. Wish we still had proper seasons instead of just endless rain.
