  1. I made one a couple of years ago for around a fiver. Put it in my little back extension. It burnt really well - chucked out loads of heat, but the Health and Safety Nazis made me take it out !

    Funny

    What the buggery are they going on about ? Was that even in English ?
  3. Do we think there's a league table of hatred ? We have them for hospitals, schools and Christ knows what else.............is there a prejudice that mostly goes unquestioned, and others that immediately spark a reaction ? Serious question !
  4. That would be a true existentialist crisis ! They'd probably have a nervous breakdown over that one !
  5. I was at a birthday party, and a few of us Pommie kids were at the bottom of the garden, whooping and squealing. One of the parents came to investigate - to find their beloved children happily poking sticks at a Mainland Tiger snake !
  6. And it's not a Blue Ringed !
  7. I was at school with a little Welsh kid, who went running home, very excited. "Look what I've found, can I keep it ? Can I keep it ?" He put a shoe box on the table, which his mother opened - to be greeted by a very pi55ed off Funnel Web spider ! (To this day, it's beyond me how he got it into the box without getting bitten !)
  8. Actually, it could hold 8 candles. As long as they were very small candles. And it wasn't underwater.
  9. I saw one in Australia, when I was young. Actually quite a beautiful creature, but utterly deadly !
  10. So, we're out and about in the sunshine today, when the good Lady BB spotted Dianne Abbott - what are the chances ?
  11. Bigger isn't always better. The blue ringed octopus is only a few inches across, and has a naturally docile nature - which is just as well......... Toxicity The blue-ringed octopus, despite its small size, carries enough venom to kill twenty-six adult humans within minutes. Their bites are tiny and often painless, with many victims not realizing they have been envenomated until respiratory depression and paralysis start to set in.[8] No blue-ringed octopus antivenom is available. If one of these nips you, you won't even make it to the phone !
  12. Definitely DON'T f*** about with something that can carry three times its own weight up a tree !
  13. Not forgetting a handsome compo payout because someone disagreed with you and hurt your feelings.............
  14. If the pellets are still going, I'll have them JJ ! I'm sure a couple of our pistol members would like to try them out.............might go better than through a rifle barrel ?
  15. Whatever happens, don't put the phone down, and do something to help ! "Has anybody got a rifle?". REALLY ?
  16. So, the rights of the gay couple override the rights of the bakery owners to follow their chosen religious beliefs ? That is truly f***ed up ! Can I, therefore, sue Goldberg's bakery for refusing to make me a sausage roll ? Or a halal butcher for not selling pork chops ? It's the same principle, surely ? Still, we must encourage diversity - as long as it's not diversity of opinion, obviously.
  17. Dear Chairman of the British Pedantic Society. If you can't buy or sell it, how can you drink it ? Regards British Society for Pedantry.
  18. Some of the famous US moonshiners have gone legal over the years. Today's interesting fact - you can't drink Jack Daniels in the town where it's made !
  19. "Give us £10 million...........,or we'll release her unharmed !
  20. Easy on the moonshine.........you'll end up like Jim Tom !
  21. The nanny state at its worst ! I'm surprised that the EU allowed this - unified taxation, anti-competitive, whatever. Hark at me, looking to the EU for helping hand !! I'll be in the loft tomorrow morning - shedloads of my brewing gear stashed away. If they bring this in here, I can spot a nice little earner !
  22. As the owner of any kind of dog, this is the hardest day. If it's any consolation, you gave her a good life and did the right thing by her. I feel for you. All the best mate.
  23. He might not be racist, but he's still a smug tw4t !
  24. And FINALLY, now that Amber Rudd has carried the can, the PM speaks ! Targets for the removal of illegals is good, she says. There were targets when she was Home Sec, she says............after sitting on her hands for days, and seeing others hung out to dry, over policies that SHE had happily brought in - but not intoroduced in the first place, that was Labour, so Corbyn can shut it !
