  1. Not picking a row, Ruby, but it's not 'open-minded' to ignore hard facts or believe things with no supporting evidence.....
  2. A church and a vicar Paulus? Never had any use for either of them !
  3. I think it's load of old cobblers, but I happened to see one of those 'mediiums' on TV a while back - can't remember his name, but why are they always slightly camp northerners...........? Any way....................... In a dazzling display of second sight, he asked an audience consisting almost entirely of OAP ladies, "Is there anyone called Margaret here?" ..................After picking out one of the many, he (eventually) whittled her husband's name down to Jim, and said "He's telling me you have trouble with your eyes' is that right ?" She nodded so enthusiastically that her glasse
  4. Dont use them for pheasant myself, doves in the conifers and pigeons in the barn No- 'cos someone once told me that's illegal !!
  5. The type of top work we've come to expect from you, mate ! Excellent tutorial (Did that fork have OAK right through it, like a stick of rock? )
  6. I'll say this for modern football............... "Obviously, the result's a bit disappointing, but, at the end of the day, the lads work their socks off and give 110%, and a couple of decisions could have gone either way, but, hey, that's football - we'll pick ourselves up and carry on. I still think we're too good to go down, but there's no easy games and we can only take it one match at a time. There's never a good time to concede, but it's a game of two halves, and every game's a Cup final for us now. I thought the 'keeper had it covered but the cross was a bit too good. The striker's
  7. Do you remember them bringing the European Cup home Stig? Glory days !!
  8. I'm a bit too 'portly' for those nowadays. I got a thong for Xmas................I put it on on Boxing Day and haven't seen it since !
  9. Which side includes the men in shorts who kiss each other?
  10. The French writer Voltaire is credited as saying "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". Does this apply, and if it doesn't, should it? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/rise-of-the-right-theresa-may-under-pressure-as-the-leader-of-ultranationalist-hungarian-party-jobbik-prepares-uk-visit-9075701.html
  11. I hate what the game has become, not the game itself. Whatever happened to 'the referee's decision is final'?.. See what happens if a rugby player questions the ref ! There should be bookings for dissent, diving, time-wasting or any other attempt to gain an unfair advantage.
  12. I've come across several of those middle-aged, vegetarian, tree-hugging hippy-esque animal lovers - the ones who don't think any animal should be killed for any reason ever, (though I'm not including Mrs.Brewman in this). They are a pain in the arse, and you're wasting your time arguing with them. The more rational you stay, the more over-wrought they get ! I've met one who inflicts a vegetarian diet on her dog FFS ! The one good thing about banging your head against a brick wall is that it stops hurting when you stop doing it !
  13. First Commandment: Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you. Second Commandment: In all things, strive to cause no harm. Third Commandment: Treat your fellow human beings, your fellow living things, and the world in general with love, honesty, faithfulness and respect.

    Flue Jab

    I have it every year (heart complaint) and no problems - feel a bit rough for a couple of days after but that's nowt. What you've had is probably a cold JJM, but it has probably mutated into the life-threatening 'man-flu' True 'flu (influenza) is an extremely serious illness. The 'Spanish' flu epidemic of 1918 killed more people than the Great War, which had just ended !
  16. She said we met at the vegetarian convention, but I swear I've never seen herbivore.

  17. So...............serious question ! A friend of mine runs a very small non-profit dog rescue organisation. She does it from her home, in her own time and at her own expense. Recently, she was offered ongoing financial and material support, but was told that this support would be more forthcoming if she had registered charity status. Does anyone know how hard this is to achieve, how do you go about it and what are the pro's and con's and so on? Somewhere she could get a little free advice would be brilliant.................. Cheers guys ! BB (Forgot to mention - she det
  18. Try this one.................. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/9162051/Woman-died-after-Muslim-nurse-refused-to-help-as-he-was-praying.html I'm not even going to comment............................... You all know me - of course I am ! The sooner this vile religion is consigned back to the Dark ages, where it belongs, the better. I'll leave it at that for this story.
  19. Pools panel result - home win ! Well done buddy ! it's little victories like this that make life bearable !
  20. This is for real ! My body's not exactly a temple (though it is in ruins!) but this made feel ill just reading it - the same amount of fat as 4 Big Mac's ! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2520826/Worlds-biggest-Snickers-bar-10-inches-long-contains-2-000-calories.html
  21. i accidentally came across that and watched half an episode the other week - about as funny as kidney stones! ITV3 regularly show On the Buses, George and Mildred, Man About the House, Duty Free and suchlike and I have to confess that I sometimes dip into them for a bit of nostalgia.
  22. I think I've found a solution...........................
  23. Several other dog rescue sites are carrying the same story. You perhaps wouldn't believe it, but I know a few rescue co-ordinators who won't give ArsePCA the time of day because of this and the appalling number of animal destructions they carry out each year.
