  1. Bottom of the page. What do you reckon ? http://www.angelfire.com/biz/xerxesco/animals.html
  2. Ah Hutschenreuther porcelain a good old English firm....... TC Yeah, I'm a bit confused by that. I can't copy a link, but the figure is identical in every way..........much head scratching in the BB household
  3. I've found an identical dog for sale. Hutschenreuther porcelain.....$110......!! I think I'll put it somewhere safer !!
  4. I see it now - well spotted TC ! It could be an M.....could be. The "made in England" gives it away as 20th century, but I reckons that's as much as I'll find out. The general look of it is 50's/'60s maybe. Just curious, really.
  5. No visible marks, which is probably why I drew a blank. We only bought it because we liked it. It looks nice in the living room and only paid a couple of quid, so happy days !
  6. I picked this up for a couple of quid today and I've done the usual searches, but can't find anything...... It's got no marks (that I can find) - just stamped "made in England" on the underside. About 9 inches long and the same high. Anyone shed any light ?
  7. We used to get a clip, but only when my mum had been pushed, and all else had failed. When I was about 16, I swore at her and she knocked 7 shades of 5hit out of me - but what can I say ? I realise now that I deserved it, so I can't complain. And no, I've never done it since !
  8. Physical punishment has been banned in schools for many years, and other European countries honour treaties banning all physical punishment of children, both in schools and in the home. But our parliament has always shyed away from passing a law banning the smacking of your own children. Provided you don't leave a mark on the child, action is unlikely to be taken against you, but is that enough ? Do you think smacking should be banned outright, or is it a matter of parental decision ?
  9. The truth of it is that the British coal industry was finished years ago - Thatcher saw to that. This is just the final step in a process that began 30 or more years ago.
  10. I often see coppers buying lunch in shops or chatting to people in passing. I'd rather see them doing that, than driving past in a car......
  11. I recall seeing one on Bargain Hunt some time ago, and I'm pretty sure that they said if it's pre-1937, you're OK. I think the country you mean is Ceylon (now Sri Lanka)
  12. Even though I speak as an ex-miner, its difficult to justify £14 million a year for one pit. A very sad day for our country.......
  13. I get pilloried for hating 'Imagine', so I'm glad its not just me !He was a right sanctimonious cnut! I want to jump on the "I f***ing hate imagine" bandwagon and add any other song by the Beatles while they were the Beatles or any ex Beatles from then until present day. f***ing overrated toss! Agreed, and I'd also include Elton John in that category.......and who the f@ck told David Bowie he can sing ? Agree with you on most posts on this thread but Bowie was ace till about 20 years back Cheers, D. Really......?
  14. I get pilloried for hating 'Imagine', so I'm glad its not just me !He was a right sanctimonious cnut! It must be hereditary......
  15. They should have got my mam round to investigate........she'd have banged there heads together and told them to grow up !
  16. Not convinced it will cover engine oil, but this might be worth a look..... https://youtu.be/dhwoMyddIPQ
  17. I get pilloried for hating 'Imagine', so I'm glad its not just me !He was a right sanctimonious cnut! I want to jump on the "I f***ing hate imagine" bandwagon and add any other song by the Beatles while they were the Beatles or any ex Beatles from then until present day. f***ing overrated toss!All those people who say "songwriting genius"........!!?!! She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah......Ooooo ! I think f@cking not !! That McCartney gets right up my nose, too ! Jesus, talk about up your own ar5e !
  18. Oh, and that w@nker Boy George ! "Do you really want to hurt me ?"...... Damned right !

  20. Any particular curly-haired member of Queen and husband of Anita Dobson in particular ?
  21. Not bad shooting, I suppose - a bit high and right, for my liking !
  22. No-one comes out of this looking good....... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3141915/Row-policeman-buying-shoelaces-duty-led-two-court-cases-three-inquiries-two-reviews-costing-taxpayers-500-000.html
