Hottest stuff I have nowadays is Encona hot pepper sauce, basically mushed scotch bonnets, I have tried the Encona extra hot, same ingredients but with ghost chilli added, bit too hot and not as enjoyable as the ordinary one. Also, I can't be dealing in the morning with Johnny Cash Syndrome (Burning Ring Of Fire).

No way I would try that, raw habenero is far too hot for me. I have made sausages with Thai birds eye chillies before and they were quite nice and not over hot. My nipper (he's 36 LOL) on the other hand has taken the Carolina Reaper challenge (currently the hottest chilli in the world) about 18 months ago at a food fare in Melbourne, and was very proud of his tag,

bloody hell , you done it now It's a real product bird, I've used it in the past, it's a wood glue which dries in the presence of moisture, so glue on one piece and a damp sponge wiped over the other, and it is a strong glue.

I remember when I first came across 'brunch', when Wimpy Bars started appearing on the high streets and had 'brunch' on the menu. Up until then I'd never heard of it. Wimpy bars, thats a blast from the past. Poor old mr wimpy would turn in his grave if he could see how old ronald mc donald was getting on thease days with the utter garbage they pump out. My memory of a Wimpy Bar was when my mate's dad caught us both smoking in there when we were about 13 and he made him eat the rest of the packet in front of everyone. Hope it was only 5 Park Drive, and not 20 Kensitas

That brought back a few memories I can still recall us having to get into the sink, an old stone type (they refer to them as butlers sinks now and charge a lot of dosh for them), we'd get out and stand on the wooden draining board so's mum could dry us Was always freezing cold. Actually did the same 2 years ago when my son bought the granddaughter over, my daughter-in-law (an Aussie) was quite bemused. No doubt we'll be doing the same in August when they visit with the newest granddaughter.

I recall the kitchen being referred to as the 'scullery', and when the coalman turned up it was "Open the coal hole".

does anyone remember Spanish gold, it was in a pouch like tobacco but it was made of coconut used to love them as a kid and cresta the non frothy frothy stuff I remember that, it was nice. Also remember when the Blackjacks wrapper had a golliwog face on it, and you could buy sweet cigarettes where the end was dyed red and even buy non-edible fags which were filled with chalk dust and you could blow a puff of dust out to look like smoke All very politically incorrect now. are sweet shop used to sell you proper fags in singles 2p for 1 number 6 and a couple of loose matches

Seems to me it's just a money making exercise, but it will without doubt create a lot of 'unlicensed' air rifle owners. The issuing of licenses will be a nightmare. Absolutely ridiculous IMO.

It's a pity that toddlers reins are not used more, it's very rare to see them at all nowadays yet they are still available. Had the water been a concrete bottomed pit instead of a water pit doesn't bear thinking about.

Bbc1 10 45 Pm (The Last Whites Of The East End) Have A Look Gnash .!!
Mister Gain replied to bird's topic in General Talk
i lived up at lee for many years, i remember the yorkshire grey well, and your post is quite right. before living at lee we were in new cross and by god even in the early 70s the area was overrun. our street had nigerians, vietnamese, and jamaicans. the original immigrants were polite, grateful to be here and respectful. they tried to fit in. the vietnamese had kids who we never saw outside school, dont know what became of them all. the blacks had kids who became f***ing assholes (they were the rioters in the early 80s, not the original imigrants). then the bangladeshis started to arrive, and -

No Gnasher, I'm talking years ago after I'd moved from Eltham to Mottingham, and one of my mates was an ardent WHU supporter as well as a older bloke around the corner and we used to cadge a lift over with him. We would go over on the ferry and generally come back via the Blackwall tunnel, so it was only a fleeting glimpse of Canning Town, some years later I was seeing some bird who lived in Plaistow, so again just passing through in the motor. The Woolwich ferry brings back a few memories, as young lads (8 or 9) we would rake the streets and make our way to Woolwich, not many foreigners i -

I haven't watched this program, and do not intend to. I don't need to watch it to see what is happening in and around London as it has been happening, to my knowledge, for the last 45-50 years, gradually at first and then gaining momentum and it will continue. I see Canning Town mentioned in this thread and other than passing through there a few times I can't really comment as I am not really familiar on how it has evolved. I do however live just over 4 miles from Canning Town, south of the river, and can comment on my particular area. I live quite near to Well Hall, Eltham, and it was ve -
Think I'm going to have to look into getting some of those pet friendly slug pellets, not put any pellets down for 18 months since I got the pup. Get plenty of snails around here, and all sorts of slugs up to about 5" long. Caught quite a few large ones in the mouse trap including leopard slugs. Unfortunately this area is a hotspot for lungworm, and the fcuking dog has to sniff or lick everything. It's even picked sticks up down the park which have slugs on them. Poxy things.

Thanks for the replies lads, would seem you are coming up against the same issues I had, couldn't find anything concrete at all. I did find out that siblings of a litter do get a different number each depending on who was born first=1, second=2 etc. There's lots of info out there but I can't tally it with the tattoo markings. No worries, as I said, it is a long shot.

Decided to have a look on the web to see if there was any history to a greyhound we used to have back in the 1970's. My brother got him from Battersea Dogs Home, and his name was Flash. He had a bit of scar tissue on the inside of his left back leg in the knee area. He was white and sandy brown, and had a tattoo in his left ear only which was YAH, no numbers at all. He had no tattoo marks in his right ear. It doesn't quite add up with the method of tattoo markings on either English or Irish dogs. Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on it, I know it's a long shot. Only got the

That's Rye Lane mate, and it seems to have gotten even worse since I moved away from that area 20 years ago, but it was filling up fast back then. I got out and moved to an area where they were a rarity but over the last 20 years we are becoming more and more multiculturally enriched, the governments and councils certainly know how to fcuk up an area.

Well, my mother-in-law is 82 years old and she doesn't smell of wee, she keeps shitting herself and that masks the smell of any wee.

What's the world coming to when people in bad suits are allowed to vote? Scruffy cnut wasn't wearing any socks either.

On my way round to vote and a somali in a wrinkled, ill-fitting whistle is walking along chanting "polling, polling, polling", obviously as mad as a march hare but given the opportunity to vote, fcuking joke.

Rez, bear in mind that you can't even rely on what you thought you were going to be entitled to from the state pension, as the government 'move the goalposts', as they did recently. Because I was born in 1954, I can no longer pick up my state pension when I am 65, I have to wait another year until I am 66, so they have in fact stolen £8000+ from me. They didn't tell me they were going to do that when I retired 9 years ago. Can't give any opinion on private pensions though as I had a company pension.
