    Glad you said 'MAY have earned a living' ! Cameron and Osborne have never done a day's work in their lives - both multimillionaires - and I'd wager that a good few Members have had no previous productive career ! Ooh, just remembered, Cameron was a political advisor to John Major, does that count ?

    Never mind demands for full fiscal autonomy, they've been taking selfies, tweeting and clapping..........bloody savages ! http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/14/snp-mps-flout-commons-etiquette-with-first-day-tweets

    Winner! Your luncheon vouchers are in the post. It's Cad West. I didn't realise it was a competition. I thought you were lost and asking for directions......

    Peacocks

    Blackbriar replied to walshie's topic in General Talk

    Golden eagles and swans are native species.......unlike peacocks, townie. Peacocks are non-native and, as such, have no protection under UK wildlife laws. Even a townie like me knows that.........

    I wonder if the young lad thought his ordeal was "not....very serious" ?

    Well, we couldn't let it pass without seeing the great man in action, displaying the effortless skill so many of us have come to admire. Rest in peace, Riley ! https://youtu.be/4fk2prKnYnI

    Come on, lads - maybe we owe them a small apology or two........? http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/feb/19/scottish-independence-76-things-apologise

    If northerly bits of England start joining Scotland, we'll have to build the Northern Powerhouse in the South............ !

    The death has just been announced of BB King, "the King of the Blues", one of music's finest guitarists. Probably the last of the greatest generation of blues performers, he was 89 and had been ill for some time. I had the pleasure of seeing him live some years ago, and he was magnificent ! Very sad news............

    For Christ's sake ! Do you guys have these thoughts every time you see a lollipop lady ?? ?

    What about a "really bad idea" sub-forum ? We could start with this one !

    As a footnote to this, the Muslim lollipop lady got run over last week and ,ironically, her hi-viz outfit was to blame................. I'd hidden it !

    Well done on getting within 5 yards of a rabbit !

    Might still claim I didn't see her, though......?

    Absolutely no leek or onion ! They cause a type of anaemia that causes permanent damage to the red blood cells, and can be fatal....... Most dogs like carrot, pear and apple, so try these. Mine love broccoli stem and cabbage stalks - we eat the rest. Vegetables and fruit will need a quick whizz in a blender first, though. Most dogs also love raw eggs, and we also give them oily fish once a week (sprats usually). You only need to balance the diet over a few days, not every single meal. Good luck ! BB

    I wish I could afford 10 pints of beer !

    Couple of quick ones..... Do you use the groove at the bottom of the fork as an arrow guide ? What about a installing a guide higher up the forks, where the elastic is tied ? (Is it called a whisker biscuit ?)

    Chap I know washes his pellets, then puts them (one by one !) through a pellet sizer......too much free time, methinks !

    But if we're not supposed to eat animals, why do they taste of meat......?

    Apart from longer life expectancy, increased leisure time, better working conditions, cheap travel, universal suffrage, massively reduced infant morality, disease control and free health care...............what have modern times done for us, eh ? You forgot internet forums blackbriar..........remember the dark days of only being able to winge to friends & neighbours...:-( .........one at a time !

    First Conservative majority for 18 years........ Watch out for fast-tracking of controversial measures like a reduction in the benefit cap and the push to sell-off social housing. They will have to hurry things along, because the honeymoon period won't last, rest assured on that ! Lurking in the shadows is the EU referendum - the thorn in the Tories side for as long as anyone can remember. Even Thatcher couldn't control the sceptics when she had an enormous majority. John Major presided over 4 years of chaos, and he had a relatively healthy majority of 21........ Cameron's majorit

    It wasn't hard, mate. She saw the improvement in my dogs condition - more energy, improved coat etc - and asked what I'd been feeding them. So I told her.......... When I mentioned that the amount of 'leavings' has greatly reduced and they're not mooching round all the time for food, she was sold ! (I'm also finding it massively cheaper, but she'll find that out for herself!)
