  1. Looking back we were all Nuts, probably why a lot of us are no longer here Lol. Different world back then,
  2. Thanks for the advice.
  3. I agree that the old way of the man proving and the women looking after the house and kids is no longer valid due to the costs of running a household. But then you have all the influence that social media has on the kids, They are being brainwashed, Parents give very young kids tablets and phones to play on. Most can use these devices even before they can even speak properly, Its the easy option but who's to blame, if both parents have to work all hours just to keep a roof over their heads?.
  4. Years ago when i was a kid skiving school one day, Three of us were sat on a fence that was next to cow field, These cows were walking along the fence line, somebody dared me to jump on the back of one as they passed. One of the biggest mistakes of my life. a week in hospital ? Roughly a week after i got out the school up the road had completed the first stage of there new swimming pool, The pool was full of water and they were awaiting the building to be erected to cover it, This pool was overlooked by the bike sheds, I had been told that the end where the bike sheds overlooked it was 6ft dee
  5. Spent a couple of weeks on one of the Greek Islands last year, Nearly every one who worked in the bars, clubs and restaurant's there was Albanian.
  6. I bet you a quid there Albanian and not Turkish mate. That's why the signs say Turkish Style,
  7. My youngest son wanted to learn to drive, So i put him on the BMW X1 2I insurance, now this car is an automatic, been taking him out and to be honest he soon got the hang of it, road position and all that, He said he wanted to pass his test in a manual, Now the van would be no good, so i found a 2003 Vauxhall Agila 70k but the timing chain was rattling its tits off. gave the bloke roughly scrap value for it £150. £95 on a chain kit, £48 for a head gasket kit and valve stem seals, it now runs fine. took him out earlier, f**k me he frightened the life out of me ? I am not sure if i should carry
  8. The way the world has always been. Watched a programme about coins being minted when they were all gold and silver. Henry The Eighth recalled all coins and had them re minted buy replacing 10% of the gold with copper. Coins from his reign are darker than before he took the throne. He pocketed that 10% of every coin that was changed, When Elizabeth the first came to the throne she had all the coins re minted again to 100% gold and silver.
  9. You would be surprised where money gets washed nowadays mate, The usual car washes, Nail bars, Turkish style barbers but then there's the pubs and clubs along with café and restaurant's, anywhere people pay in cash as well as card.
  10. Because the coppers are to busy visiting people who may have hurt someone's feeling online, or painting f***ing rainbows on everything.

    The Beta range of Trials bikes all suffer with the same problem, Mikuni Carbs are well known for it. Piss fuel out on tick over, They also fail to start if the bike if facing up or downhill. But your advice is spot on mate.
  12. The asteroid that ended the reign of the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago slammed into rocks rich in carbonates, releasing immense quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It also triggered vast wildfires, releasing even more C02. So it has long been thought that after a few years of an “impact winter” caused by dust blocking sunlight, there was rapid global warming much like what is happening today. There have been countless other times in Earth’s history when rising CO2 levels warmed the planet,
  13. Had to laugh this morning, They were discussing the expansion of the ULEZ scheme. Some joiner said how would him paying £12 a day stop his van from adding to the emission's Lol. More Crazy nonsense.
  14. I can remember fishing the local cut in 1976 Only the boat channel had water in it. Not seen that any year since. The cycle is natural. Deserts were once oceans, Oceans were once land. The poles were once green.
  15. Even if you clip up, which i do, you usually get a few turns on the reel whilst sinking the line.
  16. Never had a tip break on the bite, i have landed carp well over 20lb on a 1 1/2 oz tip and 6lb line with a 4lb hook length. If you use a QD reel like the TDR and have the drag backed off even the most vicious bite is not a problem, another tip is to leave your front rod rest loose so it can spin on the take. I have bust tips in strong winds whilst using braid with tip wrap and when the line gets covered in willow fluff but never on a take.
  17. i use Preston Supera rods for all my feeder fishing. but i have used there budget monster x range and there are very good and the price is also good. Monster X Rods WWW.PRESTONINNOVATIONS.COM
  18. Mate of mine was diagnosed a few years back, they removed a massive lump from under his arm, He had all the Chemo and that. It then spread into his stomach and internal organs. He was offered a trial with some drug or other. a couple of years later and he is still here, Plus the cancer has gone in all but 2 places and he is still receiving treatment, If they catch it early enough then they have a very high success rate of curing it.

    A Female Goss.
  20. Apparently all the protesters are from the French/West African community. |Is it just me but has the narrative been reversed, This young lad was allegedly driving a stolen car on fake plates using a fake ID, he failed to stop when the police tried to pull him over, lead the police on a high speed chase. only stopped when he was stuck in traffic and then tried to crush a police officer against a car whilst stopped in traffic,
