    Tis true this place is famous ,some say the character ,Herbert ,in Family Guy was based on IWW .
  3. Like most my age it's a shiny bald head and the obligatory grey goatee ,,Richie and I call it " the distinguished elderly gent with a military bearing look "
  4. For some reason I've got a picture in my head of Desertbred on the phone shouting "lads lads I've got a great idea "
  5. any hub caps go missing in the club car park and he's getting his collar felt
  6. Let's be honest he does look like a 80s Scouser .
  7. See what you've caused with your silly f***ing U.F.O post Tomo ! You're a trouble causing c**t .
  8. Is it an accent thing ? I don't get any of them .

    Chess

    Up until maybe the 90 s you could always get a game of chess in the pubs around us ,there was a real mix of abilities ,and at the time I loved it ,tried really hard to improve and learn ,but I was always considered the "special needs case " and got a bit fed up hearing platitudes like "wow you nearly had me that time "or "maybe have a few games with Hughie to build your confidence "..Hughie was blind btw . Different times .
  10. Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough It isn't fit for humans now . J. Betjaman
  11. Gone but not for squatting
  12. It's ok to admit you got a selfie there
  13. yes mate it's pronounced speak but with a surprisingly short K ,not the phlegm loosening sound made in the middle of chicken .
  14. Not a big fan myself ,especially when a bus full of japs with cameras stops suddenly at a place one of them once bought sweets or stroked a dog or something ..Little known fact ..my brother in law once butted George .
  15. They are all from South Liverpool ,John and Paul were Woolton ,Allerton ,areas although Paul lived in speke at one point ,George was from Speke and Ringo was from the South end (toxteth) ,,John and Paul had a suburban ,semi posh type of accent Ringo being more inner city had a harder accent than the others
  16. I have also got a mate who mumbles ,when he speaks he usually gets "shut the fuk up Lester "
  17. They do seem to get a pass from some of the media over booing the national anthem ,I don't know if it's an anti establishment thing or something else but I wish they would stop it ,it's boring childish and imo disrespectful .
  18. Mine came back mostly Irish ,a big chunk of Scottish ,and 10% Welsh ,which was a surprise and a smidgen of Viking ,...the ancestry thing is so interesting ,I wasn't expecting royalty or anything but the phrases "penal servitude " .. " habitual criminal " crop up with depressing regularity ,I even found a great great grandma who got sent to Australia and did 21 years in Darlinghurst prison in Sydney .
  19. Ray Charles ,Nina Simone , I am liking Anthony Oliver recently , Little known fact ...I went to George Formbys funeral .
  20. A really hard fight for me to pick a winner ,you can only go to the well so many times and Usyk is coming to that stage of his career when you start guessing when father time will come knocking ,but even an 80% Usyk will take Dubois where he doesn't want to go ,and if there is any quit in him he's fighting a man who's style will find it ,having said that my tenner is going on Dubois early .

    Jota

    This may be a bit long winded but I thought I'd get my say in now so I don't have to get into arguments later ,in an ideal world the new season would start with some shows of respect ,the family would be left alone to mourn in peace ,and a good player would be remembered fondly by fans of the club's he played for ..in the real world a very tiny but very vocal minority will kick up a song and dance about every perceived lack of sack cloth and ashes ,every social media post that isn't sufficiently reverential, the main stream media will stoke the fire by treating Liverpool like a poor oppressed

  23. If you left timber in a skip anywhere around here it would be safe as houses ,infact if it rained someone would probably cover it with a tarp for you.
