    Not these days - you can't sell miles of shoddy plastic tat in August for that !Much better to import yet another poxy Americanism, merchandise the f*** out of it, and encourage your kids to scrounge sweets from total strangers........ Bah humbug haha If only Guy Fawkes had succeeded. The only man who ever entered parliament with honest intentions !

    Too bad blackbriar my first consideration in moving or holiday got to be the right kind of pub within walking distance but I am a bit of a piss head. Truth be told, a night out at the pub is out of my price range these days, anyway ! It's madness I can't afford more than couple of drinks TBH I can go down bargain booze an get 4 cans of stowford press for £3.99 or thatchers is £4.25 At the co op There's an offy in town that does 4 cans of San Miguel for 4 quid and 6 cans of Blackthorn for £5.50........how can any pub compete with that ? My daughter lives in London. She tells me you're

    The only local amenity here is the pub...... .....which seems more interested in advertising "braised lamb shank in red wine jus", so I think I'll swerve it - besides that I refuse to pay 4 quid for a pint of John Smiths or Fosters !

    I've never seen it, but why would anyone watch a pointless TV programme, featuring pointless people watching pointless TV programmes ? The very basis of the show makes no sense to me.......

    Slightly different, but shows the gravy train in action, I think. The civil servant responsible for increasing the state pension age to 67 is retiring at 61 with a £1.8 million pension pot. He will receive £85,000 a year and a lump sum of £245,000........ He's the secretary for the Department for Works and Pensions, Sir Robert Devereux. The likes of you are forced to work til we drop while tossers like him try to manage on ever so slightly more than we will ever see.

    NUM official and disputed mortgage payments..... déjà vu, anyone ?

    Haven't made anything this year, but I've just got access to a good sized orchard, so the cider will be flowing next time round ! I've made nettle beer (nice), carrot wine (very sweet, very strong), damson, blackberry, or anything else I can forage usually. I've had blackberry wine up to 12%, 6 bottles for the cost of a bag of sugar ! Me and my mate keep threatening to make a corn mash spirit........

    I was hoping to hold it at your place ?
  13. Blackbriar
    Thank you. (Haven't you managed to get yourself banned yet ?)

    Forgot to thank you all for your good wishes before the move.... It went relatively smoothly and were in a small place between Kettering and Wellingborough - handy for town, but like the grave after 6pm ! And, whatever day you read this, the housewarming was yesterday !

    All moved (by me) and unpacked (by the good lady, so I can't find a damned thing !) Good to be back, so you'll have to put up with my full complement of double entendres, lame jokes and ill-thought out ramblings. What did I miss ?
  16. Blackbriar
    If you can get here by 9am tomorrow you're on !
  17. Blackbriar
    If I can't manage a quick catch in the morning, I'll see y'all later. All the best

    It is when you're 54, doing most of it on your own and your wife keeps reminding you of the things you've got left to do !

    .....line for a couple of weeks, as we're moving. Going to have to eek out my meagre existence, in a Northants village (population 900 !). Terrible, innit ? See you all in a couple of weeks - play nicely while I'm gone ! Cheers lads !

    Christ on a bike, Jimmy ! For once in my long and uneventful life......I'm lost for words.... Fabulous work, and I can't believe the amount of work you're putting into this. I don't know what to say ! (I'm offline for a while from tomorrow, so I won't be able to catch up for a couple of weeks, but I've sent you contact details, should you need them.) See you on the other side, and countless thanks to you !

    As far as I am aware, America is a big fecking place pal.A mate of mine was going through a divorce, proper upstanding chap, head of a hundred million turnover firm, not an aggressive bone in his body and not so much as a parking ticket to his name. His ex simply phoned up and said "I'm worried because he has shotguns" and just like that they came round and took his guns away. She only did it to be a c**t. Now let's take Chris case here where he has said he is at least an hour from 911 assistance, if you had a British system and someone made a totally false complaint and they take his guns

    So many people fall into Oscar Wilde's view of a cynic......"a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing". Like everyone else, I love the solitude you can find in the countryside, but I can equally sit quietly in the town and just watch the world go by..... For me, the best things in life really are free !
