  1. Never thought of that. You may be right.
  2. In the UK, its traditional to have a wedding photo of the groom AND the bride. So......?
  3. I will have a look at the other two channels you recommend.
  4. Check out 'Rich the Fight Historian' on YouTube. Dozens of documentaries featuring boxers past and present. Well worth a look.
  5. I am afraid of what you know!
  6. The voice of experience.
  7. Me and the Mrs have agreed not to talk about politics and I've promised not to write about my twisted, class warrior, chip_ on_ my _shoulder opinions on here. It just pisses people off. People get enough earache in real life without it on here. The reason I wanted the knockout roses was to get a little relief from the earache my Mrs gives me. You have my word it was not for any perverted sexual gratification. I get plenty of that from escortsforpensioners.com. You get special rates as long as you display your bus pass. I could lend you my bus pass if you want, they never look at the phot
  8. What's the cost and shipping on one of those fake roses with the knockout fragrance? Asking for a friend.

    Do you believe in the saying ' never go back' to a place of which you have fond memories? A few times we've had a great holiday and tried to recreate it by going back again to the same place and accommodation and it's never the same. I once spent an idyllic afternoon in a genuinely laid back taverna in Greece. There were kittens playing and exotic butterflies and swallows flitting under the canopy of grape vines under which we were sitting. Lizards were busily hunting within a few feet of us and there were masses of unfamiliar buzzing insects together with authentic greek food and

    I went to Louis the fourteenth' s Palace at Versailles because I had read he had kennels with thousands of wolfhounds and deerhounds which he personally fed himself. I had read the kennels were still intact. I arrived there and asked the guide where the kennels were. He said they no longer existed and in any case, it was a myth that he kept thousands of hunting dogs. It was more like 2 to 3 hundred. I was somewhat underwhelmed. Lads on here have had more dogs the that. Lol

    We used to recite Tennysons poem ' Charge of the Light Brigade' at school. Still sends shivers up my spine.
  12. Check out pets4homes , lurchers for sale. There's a litter of GWP x greyhound pups for sale in Barnard Castle. Absolutely nothing to do with me. Just responding to your post.
  13. I love it when the bull gets his own back...karma.
  14. Gypoes can be c**ts, same as the rest of the human race. We are the only animal that can engineer a false smile and tell lies. But we are also the only species that can blush, well some of us anyway. Yours truly, Miss Anthro pist.
  15. There's no answer to that mate.lol
  16. Just wait until he's eighteen and comes home in the early hours of the morning paralytic drunk and vomits on every step of a flight of stairs. Just when you've got it cleaned up, he staggers out of bed and vomits another bucketful before he reaches the bathroom. You are busy scrubbing that lot up, nearly wretching yourself, when he calls out from his bedroom " quit making that f***ing noise! I'm trying to sleep". When you say 'go to sleep' he then shouts out " I've told you once, quit that b*****d noise or else "I ll hammer you!" He couldn't remember a thing next morning.Lol
  17. Some random stats and some random ideas. Single sex schools for girls produce the best academic results. Some comps produce excellent results. Some don't. The best comps tend to be in leafy suburbs and the poor ones in areas of poverty and deprivation. The germans have technical schools for those kids who want to pursue trades . But there's no terrible feeling of failure if you go to a technical school. Tradesmen and people who work with their hands are respected and valued far more in Germany. It's recognised that people who work with their hands ultimately produce the wealth. In Fi
  18. I get that, kids are kids. But looking at university stats women have been outperforming men for some time. They get better degrees even in traditionally male subjects. And there are more female undergrads than men.
  19. Girls are outperforming boys big time. They are more conscientious in their studies and more mature when compared with boys. I used to take my kids to nursery and they were barely grunting, the girls were streets ahead in vocabulary. Men take a long time to grow up, I'm still in the process, females are adult at 16 or so imo.
  20. Well, tell us what we're not seeing.
  21. No comprende senor. I know Macron has called a general election because the right have done so well in European elections.
  22. I think you have to go to borstal or bad boys school to be a member of this forum mate.Lol.
  23. Excellent reply. I would only add that non pushy, genuine and sustained interest in your kids' education helps them immensely. My experience closely resembles Wilf's. I went to a grammar school at eleven. I arrived with an elvis hairstyle and winkle picker shoes as was the working class "look" in 1961. I wouldn't, (couldn't) wear the uniform complete with a cap. I felt such a prick. My area of Salford was known insultingly as the " barbary coast" because of the high foreigner and crime rate. I was in a Latin class and , keen as mustard, I correctly answered a question which none of the
  24. Thanks lads. Will give if a go tomorrow.
  25. Why is my still of a video from my tablet upside down? How can I put up videos? The site tells me files are too big .
